he Love for Three Oranges
This delightful, fast paced comedy is full of the broad and wacky humor of the commedia dell’arte, the Italian comedy theatre of olden times. It was written in 1761 for the commedia and derived from a southern European folktale. The kingdom of King Silvio is in an uproar: Prince Tartaglia never smiles and the inept court doctor, Il dottore, cannot cure him. The impish jester, Truffaldino, and the king’s advisor, Pantalone, decide to have a festival to cheer up the prince. The event backfires when the comical sorceress, Fata Morgana, puts a curse on the prince. He must search for three magic oranges belonging to the wicked fairy Creonta.
The Girl Who Loved the Beatles
Having fled Oak Harbor, Ohio (and husband) to New York, Loretta runs low on funds and applies for a position with a one-man advertising firm—only to have the owner (Leonard) greet her with the news that he is going out of business. In fact he has to scratch to refund the carfare she spent coming to see him. But Loretta, who has come to the big city to 'find" herself and a better life, senses that the recently divorced Leonard may be the man she has been looking for all along. And Leonard, despite his determination to resist, finds himself drawn ever more deeply into a very funny and progressively more revealing conversation with the smitten Loretta.
