off our fourth anniversary season. Becca and Howie have everything a family could want, until a
life-shattering accident turns their world upside down. An emotional story of loss, heartbreak, and
forgiveness, Rabbit Hole charts their bittersweet search for comfort in the darkest of places and
for a path that will lead them back into the light of day. Winner of the 2007 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
September 14 - 27
Hamlet. A murdered King. A usurped Prince. A promise of revenge. Returning to court to find his
father murdered and his mother married to the murderer, Hamlet faces a terrible dilemma. An
undisputed masterpiece of world theatre, Hamlet, Shakespeare’s great tragedy of passion,
corruption and revenge, has captivated audiences for over four hundred years. It remains as
relevant and urgent as ever. October 22 - November 15
Laughter on the 23rd Floor. This Neil Simon comedy will keep you in stitches all night!
Inspired by Simon’s own early-career experience churning out jokes, Laughter provides a
hilarious, behind-the-scenes look at the making of a 1950’s television variety show re-creating the
neuroses, nonstop gags, and constant one-upmanship of a team of brilliant and funny social
misfits. The writers must deal with a host of wacky antics and struggles to get the show on the air.
You’ll laugh till it hurts! November 19 - December 20
A Raisin in the Sun. Called “a milestone in the American theatre,” this intensely affecting
drama chronicles how a financial windfall touches the lives of an African-American family living in
Chicago in the late 50s. A simple desire for a home of their own becomes the touchstone of their
integrity. Their story is built on sacrifice, heartbreak, trust, love and the heroic struggle to hold their
world together. Don’t miss this vital and hopeful portrait of one family’s search for the American
dream. February 25 - March 21
How the Other Half Loves. Alan Ayckbourn’s ingenious comedy about three married
couples trying to cover-up their adulterous love affairs which result in a hilarious comedy of errors
as all get tangled up in lies and misunderstandings, culminating in a dinner party where laughter
is the main course. Come find out how the other half lives…and loves. March 25 - April 18
The Most Fabulous Story Ever Told. Called “ a testament to the virtues of laughing,”
Fabulous is the retelling of the bible with Adam and Steve; Jane and Mabel beginning in the
Garden of Eden and, after being banished, the quartet survives the centuries including time on the
ark, slavery in Egypt and finally life in contemporary New York. Simultaneously campy and
thoughtful, Paul Rudnick’s play is a delightful mélange of hilarious one-liners, philosophical
introspection and a celebration of the very fabulousness of gay culture (and otherwise) throughout
the ages. June 10 - July 4
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. This explosive new production of Tennessee Williams’ Pulitzer Prize-
winning classic will have the summer sizzling. Hypocrisy, greed, and hidden desires drive a
wealthy Southern family to the brink in this American masterpiece. Delight in the characters
Maggie “the Cat,” her alcoholic husband, Brick, and the dominating patriarch, Big Daddy, as they
strip away the lies and do battle to preserve their portion of the family fortune. An unforgettable
night of theatre. July 22 - August 15
Into the Woods. Broadway’s most magical musical journey written by the legendary Stephen
Sondheim which features a bewitching collection of classic children’s characters on a rollicking
romp through a “once upon a time” kingdom. A tapestry of wonderfully woven fables that brims
with award-winning music and lyrics, this fractured fairy tale will transport you to a land where
there are giants in the sky, witches next door, curses reversed and “happily ever afters.” Musical
entertainment for all ages. August 19 - September 12
Performances of The Little Dog Laughed we hope to add pending scheduling and royalty rights’ availability.
