Show dates 9/17-9/19, 9/24-9/26, 10/1-10/3/2010


The Complete History
of America (Abridged) attempts
to explain 600 years of history in 6000 seconds – a roller coaster ride through
the glorious quagmire of American History, from Washington
to Watergate, from the Bering Straits to Baghdad,
from New World to New World Order. The past is interpreted as a breathlessly
paced sequence of vaudeville sketches, word-association games, puns and
parodies of movie and television genres. Nothing is sacred, and many of the
facts have been skewed. History has never been this much fun...or as
delightfully mutilated!

 

(2) Plaza Suite by Neil Simon

Directed by Margaret King


Auditions 9/20 & 9/21/2010

Preview 11/4/2010

Show dates 11/5-11/7, 11/12-11/14, 11/19-11/21/2010


Hilarity abounds in this portrait of three couples
successively occupying a suite at the Plaza. A suburban couple take the suite
while their house is being painted and it turns out to be the one in which they
honeymooned 23 (or was it 24?) years before and was yesterday the anniversary,
or is it today? This wry tale of marriage in tatters is followed by the
exploits of a Hollywood producer who, after
three marriages, is looking for fresh fields. He calls a childhood sweetheart,
now a suburban housewife, for a little sexual diversion. Over the years she has
idolized him from afar and is now more than the match he bargained for. The
last couple is a mother and father fighting about the best way to get their
daughter out of the bathroom and down to the ballroom where guests await her or
as Mother yells, "I want you to come out of that bathroom and get
married!" 

 

(3) Proof by David Auburn

On the eve of her twenty-fifth birthday, Catherine, a
troubled young woman, has spent years caring for her brilliant but unstable
father, a famous mathematician. Now, following his death, she must deal with
her own volatile emotions; the arrival of her estranged sister, Claire; and the
attentions of Hal, a former student of her father's who hopes to find valuable
work in the 103 notebooks that her father left behind. Over the long weekend
that follows, a burgeoning romance and the discovery of a mysterious notebook
draw Catherine into the most difficult problem of all: How much of her father's
madness—or genius—will she inherit?
