Are
We There Yet?
July
7 - August 8, 2010
Fresh, funny, and entertaining, this
light hearted but genuine musical comedy tackles the
question we so often ask ourselves on life's roller
coaster journey of ups and downs, "Are We There
Yet." The typical bumps, u-turns, and road blocks
that we are all too-familiar with are played out on
stage in a riotous fashion through the eyes of the modern
American family that may seem strangely similar to your
own. This refreshing and reflective comedy that has
been called the parents' edition of I Love you, You're
perfect, Now Change!" may finally prove that the
answer to life's question is simply a sense of humor.
Written by James Hindman, Ray Roderick, and Cheryl Stern
with music by John Glaudini.

THE
COLOR OF DESIRE
October 6, 2010 November 7, 2010
A
World Premiere by Pulitzer Prize winner Nilo Cruz, author
of Anna In The Tropics, creates a world
full of lyricism in this new play set in Havana, 1960.
As the revolution heats up, a dashing American businessman
hires a young Cuban actress for a role unlike any she’s
ever played: the woman he loved and lost. With both
great humor and profound emotional resonance, this piece
is reminiscent of Chekhov’s “Cherry Orchard,”
the last moments of an island on the brink of change.
A story of intrigue, seduction and the pursuit of freedom…A
cutting-edge work touched by the magic of great theatre. |
