Mayer & Co. | $25
Nov 4, 2011 @ 8 pm
By Andrzej Krakowski & Michal Komar. Based on the book Pollywood by Andrzej Krakowski.
Join us for a staged reading of a new play in which the beginnings of Hollywood are revealed. In 1957, a young film editor attempts to prepare a newsreel tribute to the founder of MGM, the late Louis B. Mayer and conducts interviews with two other motion picture giants: Samuel Goldwyn and Jack Warner. Full of humor and clashing egos, this story pulls no punches in deconstructing the existing myths and legends.

The Importance of Being Earnest | $40; $20 students
Nov 19, 2011 @ 3 & 8 pm
By Oscar Wilde. Performed by Aquila Theatre.
Oscar Wilde's classic tale of two young men who have taken to bending the truth to add a dash of excitement to their lives comes to the Emelin stage! The New York Times has described Aquila's production as "Gleefully engaging...almost unbearable fun...directed with inspiration and a beautiful use of physical humor."

The Liar Show | $27
Feb 10, 2012 @ 8 pm
4 Storytellers, 3 True Stories, 1 Pack of Lies. New York's fastest talkers tell stories that will make you laugh, make you think, or just make you glad you're not them. But listen carefully because one of these people is making it all up. Interrogate the tellers and cast your vote for the Liar to win a Liar t-shirt!

Nearly Lear | $34; $17 students
Mar 31, 2012 @ 8 pm
Nearly Lear encapsulates all the grandeur of Shakespeare's tragedy King Lear as seen through the eyes of the King's closest companion - his own fool! As told by Lear's devoted clown, the story is not only poignant and moving, but also mischievous, tender and hysterically funny.

All Wear Bowlers | $40; $20 students
Apr 27 & 28, 2012 @ 8 pm
In this hilarious hit show, two silent film clowns take a wrong turn and find themselves in a haunted theatre, where hard-boiled eggs play tricks on them and gravity refuses to behave. Rene Magritte, Samuel Beckett, and Laurel & Hardy collide in this sidesplitting romp that melds remarkable physical comedy with stage magic and vaudevillian patter. "Easily the most original and funny show this year" (The New York Times).
