A dark comedy about Frank, a man starring in his own soap opera but he alone doesn’t know it. He finally sees that everyone around him is an actor–even his mother. And like all soap operas today, his is losing money…lots of it. A darkly funny show with a surprising, warm ending.

The Sugar Witch by Nathan Sanders is set in the Florida swamp country of the Watchalahoochee River unfolding an at times eerie, weird and often very funny story of what’s left of the Bean family, Moses and Sisser, along with Annabelle, the Sugar Witch. And yes, there may be flying cats, casting of spells, country music, not to mention a few possible surprises.

Ravenscroft by Don Nigro pits one British Inspector against five possible murderesses in this send up of the traditional English locked room murder mystery.

Fat Pig by Neil LaBute. Does size matter? When a nice average Joe finds himself attracted by a Rubenesque woman what if his friends deride him? What if his ex-squeeze can’t understand it? This very contemporary play explores it all with wit and understanding and plenty for every theatergoer to think about after the curtain falls.

Broadway applauded this reworking of the author’s 1977 play into a complex one-woman tour de force. This tight-knit story of war and peace opens in 1973, on the eve of the Yom Kippur War, and uses flashbacks to let Golda tell the story of her life: her journey from her birthplace in Russia to the United States where she settled in Milwaukee, became a school teacher and married. She describes her role as a socialist Zionist, her emigration to Palestine in 1921, the birth of her two children and the breakup of her marriage. These details form an intriguing backdrop for a dramatic look at idealism, power and the strength it takes to shape the destiny of a nation.

Mauritius by Theresa Rebeck. Stamp collecting is far more risky than you think. After their mother’s death, two estranged half-sisters discover a book of rare stamps that may include the crown jewel for collectors. One sister tries to collect on the windfall, while the other resists for sentimental reasons. In this gripping tale, a seemingly simple sale becomes dangerous when three seedy, high-stakes collectors enter the sisters’ world, willing to do anything to claim the rare find as their own.
