Mrs. Warren has indeed found her way in the world. From humble beginnings, she manages to climb out of poverty and be successful enough to afford boarding school for her daughter, Vivie. And Vivie has been successful too—at Cambridge no less. She has a very modern view of what her future should be. 

Whether it’s 1902 or 2007, the battle between mother and daughter and a certain choice of profession doesn’t really change. It’s witty and wise, it’s Shaw!

Set in a 1964 Catholic School, Doubt looks at the battleground of the traditional and the progressive in the aftermath of Vatican II. A long-established Mother Superior who is the principal of the Church School mistrusts a young, forward-thinking parish priest. Her suspicious nature leads to serious consequences in this riveting play.

Winner of four Tony awards and the Pulitzer Prize!

It’s 1939 and legendary Hollywood producer David O. Selznick has just fired the director of Gone With the Wind! The film is in trouble, the script is unworkable, and the crew is being paid $50,000 a day as Selznick tries to figure out what to do.

Enter ace director Victor Fleming (who has been pulled off The Wizard of Oz) and crackpot writer Ben Hecht. Selznick holds the moneybag and begs them to apply their collective genius to the script —by locking them all in his office! Between the three egos, the script’s deadline is five days! Turns out, the producer’s paying them peanuts. Come enjoy the madness!

Featuring Carmen Decker

The Riddle Key Luxury Senior Retirement Living Center and Golf Course is like many other lovely, gated communities in Florida. Only this retirement community houses not one, but three murderers! 

Murderers is a stylish black comedy in which each of these unlikely characters pours out their truth, sharing with the audience compelling stories that may even invite you to move down to the Luxury Center and check the community out for yourself; even with its engaging murderers…

a co-production with Performance Network

Underwritten by Susan and Jack Davis

Souvenir, loosely based on the career of eccentric New York socialite Florence Foster Jenkins (1868-1944), is a charming play about the woman who has become a cultural legend for singing badly! Florence Jenkins’ “dulcet” tones set the New York social season awhirl.

Each year, from 1912 until her death, her performances at The Ritz-Carlton played to sold out houses. This memory play told by her accompanist, Cosme McMoon, takes a heartfelt look at one woman’s sheer will-power and belief in her ‘perfect-pitch’ and in herself!
