Social Security by Andrew Bergman - June 13 - July 6
Treny Manhattan art gallery owers Barbara and David Kahn lives are upended when her Mineola housewife sister, Trudy deposits their eccentric mother, Sophie, on the couple's doorstep while she and her husband, Martin, head to Buffalo to rescue their promiscuous daughter. Barbara and David introduce Sophie to suave nonagenarian artist Maurice Koenig, who offers to paint her portrait and soon begins to brighten her life in ways she never expected in her twilight years.
Moon Over Buffalo - Ken Ludwig - August 21 - September 7
It is the summer of 1953, and George and Charlotte Hay, formerly a couple of Broadway stars, have taken their run-down touring company to Buffalo, New York. In Buffalo they have the intention of running “Cyrano de Bergerac” and “Private Lives” in repertory, all the while grumbling about missed Hollywood opportunities. With a plethora of pratfalls, slamming doors aplenty, and backstage shenanigans, Ken Ludwig’s Moon Over Buffalo is a fast-paced, hilarious screwball comedy in the old tradition, a throwback farce, and the larger-than-life personalities that inhabit the world of the theatre.
The Dining Room by A.R. Gurney - October 20 - November 2
The play is set in the dining room of a typical well to do househood, the place where family assembled daily for breakfast and dinner. The acion is a mosaic of interrelated scenes - some funny, some touching, some rueful. Each vignette introduces as a new set of people and events; a father lectures his son on grammer and polotics, a senile gandmother doesn't recognize her own sons at Thanksgiving dinner, a daughter, her marriage a shamble, pleads futilely to return home and more. Dovetailing swiftly and smoothly, the varied scences coalesce, utimately, into a theatrical experience of exceptional range, compassionate humor and abundant humanity.
Little Women by Louisa May Alcott, adaptation by Kevin Cunningham - November 20 - December 7
Is a story that takes place at Christmastime and follows the lives of the 4 March sisters: Jo, Meg, Beth and Amy. Set in the nineteeth century United States, the sisters navigate challenges, societal expectations, and their own dreams and aspirations. Amidst wartime struggles, they find strength in each other and their mother, Marmee. The story is based on Louisa May Alcott's life and explores themes of family, love and personal growth.
