Shorter, faster paced, and more action packed than the second quarto and First Folio versions, the first quarto of Hamlet forces us to reconsider what we know about both Hamlet and Shakespeare as a dramatist.

The Will Rogers Follies is a show about Will Rogers - an unique American, who, though he died in 1935, remains a beloved figure remembered for his humor, his wisdom, and his just plain common sense. At the heart of his populist philosophy was his most famous statement: "I never met a man I didn't like." Rogers became the biggest, most popular, and highest paid star of every existing medium of his time - stage, screen, radio, newspapers, and public appearances.

A remarkable show and one of the great theatre successes of our time. This is a play-within-a-play, based on Cervantes' 'Don Quixote.' We have a poignant story of a dying old man whose impossible dream takes over his mind. It's All the Same, Dulcinea, I'm Only Thinking of Him, The Impossible Dream, I Really Like Him and Little Bird remain in your soul well after you see the show.
