BOEING-BOEING by Marc Camoletti; adapted by Beverley Cross
Oct. 30-Nov. 21

Previews October 27-29

Unfasten your seatbelt and prepare to roll in the aisles, at this recent smash hit Broadway comedy. It's a hilarious 1960s tale of a swingin' American in Paris, and the three beautiful stewardesses he calls fiancée, fiancée and fiancée. Assume crash positions in a romping farce the NY Post calls "better than sex!"

DIAL 'M' FOR MURDER by Frederick Knott
Dec. 4-20 Tony married for money. Now he'll kill for it. And you'll be on The Edge of your seat every thrilling moment for Broadway's quintessential, Hitchcockian murder mystery.

THE SANTALAND DIARIES by David Sedaris; adapted by Joe Mantello
Dec. 10-31
Limited Seating This thorny comedy comes direct from the delightfully twisted mind of acclaimed satirist, David Sedaris, and tells the story of a down and out writer who desperately takes a job as a Macy's elf, only to endure the worst of the Christmas spirit.

OPUS by Michael Hollinger
Jan. 8-24
The tension is tighter than a violin string quivering to snap in this hot new drama where a world-renowned string quartet must learn Beethoven's difficult masterpiece, Opus 131, in a few short days for a performance at The White House. Passions collide to a crescendo in an elegant, provocative story as rich & powerful as its music.

YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU by George S. Kaufman & Moss Hart
Feb. 5-21
This Pulitzer Prize winning comedy is one of the most successful plays of all time. It's a truth-filled, light-hearted helpin' of 1930s Americana that reminds us to do what we want before it's too late.

RELATIVELY SPEAKING by Alan Ayckbourn
Mar. 12-28 Relatively Speaking is one of the funniest plays ever written from England's greatest playwright. It is a sidesplitting human-foibles farce, full of all the classic misunderstandings, mistaken identities and miscommunications.

TRYING by Joanna McClelland Glass
Apr. 9-25 Against the backdrop of 1960s political unrest, this play finds two generations trying to coexist. One is Francis Biddle, former U.S. Attorney General & Judge of the Nuremberg trials, and the other is his new secretary, Sarah. The lessons they learn about each other, as well as the world, still ring true today in this life-affirming story.

THE BIG BANG by Boyd Graham & Jed Feuer
May 7-23 Set in a Park Avenue apartment, two wannabe producers have written the most expensive musical ever conceived, and now must raise $83 million. From Adam & Eve to Eva & Adolf, they tear the apartment to pieces pitching this hysterical, historical epic to their potential backers, you, the audience!

"The variety in season 12 is really unmatched," Cacioppo said, "and with our new low prices, no one should have to miss out."
