Written by Brandon Thomas,
directed by Ian Belknap 

Featuring Stephen Bogardus, Santino Fontana, Michael Urie
 

A comedic masterpiece of love, mistaken identity and men in skirts! Jack and Charley invite their girlfriends to Oxford—properly chaperoned, of course, by Charley's wealthy aunt. When the aunt’s arrival is delayed, Lord Fancourt Babberly is enlisted to masquerade in her stead. Of course the real aunt finally arrives and it isn't long before misunderstandings spiral out of control. This rollicking farce opened at the Theatre Royal Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk, England in 1892 and holds the record for 1,466 consecutive performances, the most of any play of any kind.

Sponsored by Jill and John Gilbert

WRITE ON NEW PLAY SERIES October 31st!

by Matthew Hoverman

7 short supernatural comedies about life on the edge...of town.

DIrected by David Kennedy.

In these seven short plays, the standard suburban universe is turned topsy-turvy. As interconnected characters go about their daily lives – tucking in their kids at bedtime, dealing with infidelity, making time for the gym – the unexpected is always just around the corner. Sometimes it’s the boogeyman, or an alien invasion, or just the surprise of a true human connection.
