Angel Street

A Victorian mystery-thriller

Written by Patrick Hamilton

Produced by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc., New York City.

Directed by Alan Beck

A British mystery-thriller originally produced in London under the title Gaslight, Angel Street opened in New York in 1941. It remains one of the longest-running plays in Broadway history. Set in London in the 1880s, the play tells the story of the Manninghams, who live in a house on Angel Street.  At the opening of the drama, Mrs. Manningham is clearly on edge. It soon becomes apparent that her handsome, overbearing husband is slowly trying to drive his devoted wife to the brink of insanity with an insinuating kindness that masks more sinister motives. Enter a charming, mysterious detective. Let the games begin.

The Secret Garden

A lavish family musical

Book & Lyrics by Marsha Norman

Music by Lucy Simon

Based on the novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett

The Secret Garden is presented by special arrangement with SAMUEL FRENCH, INC.

Directed by Peg Major

This enchanting classic of children's literature is re-imagined in brilliant musical style by composer Lucy Simon and Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Marsha Norman. Orphaned in India, 11 year-old Mary Lennox returns to England to live with her embittered, reclusive uncle Archibald and his invalid son Colin. The Yorkshire estate's many wonders include a magic garden that beckons the children with haunting melodies, and the Dreamers, spirits from Mary's past who guide her through her new life. The Secret Garden's compelling tale of forgiveness and renewal will appeal to adults and children alike.

Much Ado About Nothing

Shakespeare's popular comedy

Written by William Shakespeare

Directed by Tony Rust

Men returning from war. Young would-be lovers. Witty insults. Evil plots. Tricky counterplots. Mistaken identities. Eavesdropping in the garden. A faked death. And, finally, a double wedding. What have you got? One of William Shakespeare’s most popular comedies, which has been gracing stages all around the world since 1600, delighting audiences with its blend of robust hilarity and social commentary. If you’re already a Shakespeare-lover, you’ll love our Three Musketeers era production – and if you’ve not yet experienced the works of the Bard on stage, Much Ado About Nothing will provide the perfect, accessible introduction.

Pump Boys and Dinettes

A lighthearted musical revue

Conceived and written by John Foley, Mark  Hardwick, Debra Monk, Cass Morgan, John Schimmel, and Jim Wann

Pump Boys and Dinettes is produced by special arrangement with SAMUEL FRENCH, INC.

Directed by Peg Major

The Pump Boys sell high octane gas on Highway 57 in Grand Ole Opry country, and the Dinettes, Prudie and Rhetta Cupp, run the Double Cupp diner next door. Together they fashion an evening of country-western and pop songs that received unanimous raves on and off-Broadway. With heartbreak and hilarity, they perform on guitars, piano, bass and, yes, kitchen utensils. "Both musically and theatrically, a triumph of ensemble playing. [Pump Boys and Dinettes] doesn't merely celebrate the value of friendship and life's simple pleasures, it embodies them." - The New York Times

Spamalot

An irreverent musical parody

Book & Lyrics by Eric Idle

Music by John Du Prez & Eric Idle

From the original screenplay by Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Michael Palin

Directed by Tony Rust

Lovingly ripped off from the classic film comedy Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Spamalot retells the legend of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table. Spamalot, which won the 2005 Tony Award for Best Musical, features a bevy of beautiful show girls, not to mention catapulted cows, killer rabbits, coconuts, and French people with a snotty attitude. Did we mention the bevy of beautiful show girls? Like the film, the musical comedy is a highly irreverent parody of the Arthurian legend, but the stage version differs from the film in many ways, especially in its parodies of Broadway theatre. Remember: “Always look on the bright side of life!”

A Christmas Story

A nostalgic holiday comedy

Written by Philip Grecian

Based upon the motion picture A Christmas Story © 1983 Turner Entertainment Co., distributed by Warner Bros., written by Jean Shepherd, Leigh Brown and Bob Clark; and on the book In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash by Jean Shepherd

Directed by Eliza Roaring Springs

It's Hohman, Indiana, 1938, and Christmas is on its way ─ lovely, beautiful, glorious Christmas, around which the entire kid year revolves, and young Ralphie Parker desperately wants a genuine Red Ryder BB gun. His mother, teacher, and even Santa Claus aren't so sure it's a good idea ("You'll shoot your eye out!"). But Ralphie, undaunted, goes to great lengths to promote his case for what he's sure will be the "best Christmas present ever.” Based on humorist Jean Shepherd's stories about growing up in the Midwest, A Christmas Story is a deliciously funny and pleasantly nostalgic play that will warm hearts of all ages.
