For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Juliet and her Romeo...

Charlie and Mary meet and fall in love on the brink of the war. The strength of their love and their commitment to one another enables the young couple to overcome conflict, distance, time and remain in each others' hearts.

A tribute to old-time radio plays. Live sound effects included! Gather round the microphone as each actor performs at least two roles: the radio play character and the actor portraying the radio play character.

On the eve of her 25th birthday, Catherine, a troubled young woman, has spent years caring for her brilliant but unstable father, a famous mathematician. Now, following his death, she must deal with her own volatile emotions; the arrival of her estranged sister; and the attentions of a former student of her father's. The discovery of a mysterious proof draws Catherine into the most difficult problem of all: How much of her father's madness- or genius- did she inherit?

Four old college chums, home for their fifteen year reunion, hook up for a round of golf and share success failures. A warm funny play which takes place on a golf course in 18 holes.

Arthur Wicksteed, a middle-aged GP, has rather lively extra-marital interests. His neglected and frustrated wife, Muriel, craves attention - particularly to her bust. Wicksteed's flat-chested sister Constance, who is being ardently pursued by her frustrated admirer Canon Throbbing, yearns for just one thing in life - a mountainous frontage. 'He whose lust lasts, lasts longest' is the achingly neat motto of Alan Bennett's wickedly funny farce. Throughout this joyous romp we are reminded that life is short and that we should (quite literally) grasp the objects of our lust with both hands. Death will have the body in the end, Bennett says, so you might as well sow your oats while you can. And they do - or at least they try!

Greater Tuna is the hilarious comedy about Texas' third smallest town, where the Lion's Club is too liberal and Patsy Cline never dies. The eclectic band of citizens that make up this town are portrayed by only two performers, making this satire on life in rural America even more delightful as they depict all of the inhabitants of Tuna -- men, women, children and animals.

Inspector Ruffling has been called to Ravenscroft Manor to investigate the death of Patrick Rourke. The five female suspects are bewildering, beguiling and bedevilling. Will the inspector be able to sort through the truth, half-truths and half-baked lies to find out what really happened?

This Is A Play is a play about a play about a play.

Instructor: Ross Desprez

This edge-of-the-seat thriller opens when college coed Susan, accompanied by Larry, a young lawyer she's just met, are lured to the Brabissant mansion by the Mackeys, a charming, elderly Irish couple who work for the Brabissant family. The Mackeys convince Susan to impersonate Veronica, the long-dead daughter of the Brabissants, to provide solace to Veronica's addled sister who is near death. But Susan never bargains for what happens when she dresses in Veronica's clothes. Audiences call this Levin play "chilling" and "bizarre."
