California Suite

Neil Simon at his most humane, compassionate best. It's a humorous confection divided into four parts. In Visitors from Chicago, two couples are winding up a vacation they should not have shared. Visitors from London concerns a British star and Oscar nominee before and after the Academy Award ceremony. Visitors from Philadelphia concerns a wife who arrives at the hotel suite before her husband can get rid of the drunken hooker in his bed. In Visitors from New York, a magazine writer is visited by her ex-husband to discuss how to deal with their teenage daughter.

The Mousetrap

Agatha Christie is a premier writer of mystery plays. The Mousetrap is one of her best, still playing in London after 56 years.

A group of strangers are stranded in a boarding house during a snow storm. One is a murderer. The suspects include the newly married couple who run the house. Others are a spinster with a curious background, an architect who seems better equipped to be a chef, a retired Army major, a strange little man who claims his car has overturned in a drift, and a jurist who makes life miserable for everyone. Into their midst comes a policeman, traveling on skis. Many skeletons are rattled as the policeman probes the murder suspects. Then a twist revealing the skill of Christie to make a surprising finish.

(Pending licensing approval.)

The Laramie Project

In October 1998, a twenty-one year old gay student at the University of Wyoming was kidnapped, severely beaten and left to die on a fence outside Laramie, Wyoming. Matthew Shepard died several days later. This crime made national news.

To try to make sense of this horrifying event, Moisés Kaufman and the Tectonic Theater Project made six trips to Laramie over the course of a year and a half in the aftermath of the beating and during the trial. They conducted over 200 interviews with people in the town. The Laramie Project is a compelling collage told by the people who lived in the town.
