Beyond Therapy
By Christopher Durang
Directed by John Rando
April 26 - May 14

"...one of the funniest and most original playwrights at work." - The New Yorker

After a disastrous first date, Bruce and Prudence seek solace in therapy-despite both their therapists being stark raving mad. And that's only the beginning of their problems. In Durang's topsy-turvy world, life is a potent cocktail of sexual mix-ups, relationship neuroses, and a serious lack of impulse control. This wicked and wickedly funny look at the days and nights of the young and single will inspire you to outrageous laughter, the most effective therapy of all.

The Circle
By W. Somerset Maugham
Directed by Nicholas Martin
June 7 - June 25

"...this superbly constructed, sharply observant play reveals unexpected warmth and tenderness..." - The London Telegraph

Many years ago, Lord Champion-Cheney was abandoned by his wife, a legendary beauty. Now his son, Arnold, a politician and rising star, is having marital problems of his own. Is history destined to repeat itself? This scintillating comedy of manners, considered Maugham's wittiest play, is a seamless blend of romance and repartee.

Lips Together, Teeth Apart
By Terrence McNally
Directed by Mark Lamos
July 12 - July 30

"...fascinating and ultimately quite touching" - The New York Times

From the author of Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune and Master Class comes this story of two couples who gather at a Fire Island beach house to celebrate the Fourth of July. Anxious about their impending middle age, and wary of the world's hidden threats, they fortify themselves against life's disappointments with food, drink, and an escalating series of wry observations and stinging barbs. This hilarious account of people struggling against their limitations is as perceptive about the way we live today as any comedy the American theater has produced in years.

Suddenly Last Summer
  By Tennessee Williams
Directed by David Kennedy
August 23 - September 10

"A haunting spell that is virtually hypnotic in its compelling power." - New York Post

A handsome poet has died under mysterious circumstances, and only the beautiful young woman who was there knows the shocking and terrible truth of what happened. Will she tell her story no matter the consequences, or succumb to the pressure to protect the legacy of an influential and powerful family? This is one of Tennessee Williams' most poetic, sensual and evocative works.  

Twelfth Night, or What You Will
By William Shakespeare
Directed by Mark Lamos
October 11 - October 29

"Twelfth Night is complex, ambiguous, and heartbreakingly funny. It is the masterwork among the comedies." - Sir Peter Hall

A young lady cast ashore after a violent shipwreck finds herself thrust into an adventure of cross-dressing, sexual confusion, mistaken identity and the flowering of romantic love. A story of passionate intensity, full of laughter, poetry and song, this is Shakespeare's most beguiling and enjoyable comic masterpiece. 'If music be the food of love, play on!'
