An Empty Plate in the Café du Grand Boeuf
August 21- September 13, 2009
On this hot July night in 1961, waitress Mimi and chef Gaston await
the arrival of their Café's owner. Victor returns from the bullfights in
Madrid, disheveled, too depressed to eat and without the beautiful
Madame. The hilarious staff attempt to unravel the strange events in
Spain and lift Victor’s spirits with a sumptuous meal on empty plates.
Come to Paris for a feast celebrating cooking, sex, bullfighting and a
little Ernest Hemingway. Operatic looniness!

Evil Dead: The Musical
October 16—November 8, 2009
Evil Dead: The Musical unearths the old familiar story: boy and friends take a weekend getaway at abandoned cabin, boy expects to
get lucky, boy unleashes ancient evil spirit, friends turn into
Candarian Demons, boy fights until dawn to survive. As musical
mayhem descends upon this sleepover in the woods, "camp" takes on
a whole new meaning with uproarious numbers like "All the Men in
my Life Keep Getting Killed by Candarian Demons," "Look Who's Evil
Now" and "Do the Necronomicon." Buzzing chainsaws and dancing
demons add to the frenzy, slaying audiences with a tale of lust, love
and dismemberment. Bloody Fantastic & Deliriously Silly!

Phantom is stealing yard decorations, Vera Carp and the

gun sale. Wear your boots and have a Texas size laugh at the
holidays.

Darwin in Malibu
March 26—April 18, 2010
One hundred and twenty years after his death, Charles Darwin is
hanging out in Malibu and drinking smoothies with a girl young enough
to be his daughter. His is rudely disturbed when his old friend Thomas
Huxley, the famous agnostic, washes up on the beach closely followed
by Samuel Wilberforce, the Bishop of Oxford. Wilberforce thinks
Malibu is purgatory and is determined to convert Darwin so he can
finally get into heaven. These brilliant minds turn the world’s greatest
debate into an enthralling comedy. Come and learn what Eve was
really hiding from Adam, what Noah did with dinosaurs on the ark and
if God allows hunting in heaven? Fiercely intelligent with big ideas. A hoot and a half!

based on the book by Mitch Albom
Tuesdays with Morrie
May 21 - June 13, 2010
The 2010 Bestseller/Cassic Series features the autobiographical story
of Mitch Albom, an accomplished journalist driven solely by his career,
and Morrie Schwartz, his former college professor. Sixteen years after
graduation, Mitch happens to catch Morrie's appearance on a television
news program and learns that his old professor is battling Lou Gehrig's
Disease. Mitch is reunited with Morrie, and what starts as a simple visit
turns into a weekly pilgrimage and a last class in the meaning of life.
"Unforgettable! No matter how well you tell the story, the play
makes it more
vivid, more shattering, more humorous." —NY
Magazine.
