The Good Doctor by Neil Simon
Directed by Jim Anthony
November 11 - 21, 2010

In the late 1800s, Russia's preeminent literary doctor, Anton Chekhov, wrote humorous newspaper articles to pay for medical school. Neil Simon, Broadway's master of comedy, elegantly weaves eight of Chekhov's stories into a laugh-out-loud vaudeville experience. Laughter is always the best medicine, so let The Good Doctor cure what ails you!

The Price by Arthur Miller

Directed by Bobby Miller

February 3 - 13, 2011

You won't want to miss this essential Arthur Miller drama - the story of Victor and Walter Franz, brothers who haven't spoken to one another in 16 years. When they meet in the attic of a soon-to-be-demolished house to sell their deceased parents' property, the brothers are forced to examine seething resentments, missed opportunities, and the price of their life decisions.

Agnes of God by John Pielmeier
Directed by John Contini
April 28 - May 8, 2011

A psychiatrist is appointed by the court to determine whether or not a seemingly innocent young nun is mentally competent to stand trial for the death of an infant whose body was mysteriously found in her room at the convent. Was there a murder or a miracle? The answers change the doctor's life, and the lives of the two women of faith, forever. Contains mature themes.
