A washed-up film director, a wide-eyed writer and a witty android actress teach each other about prat falls and falling in love. Comic Potential is a delightful romantic comedy, a superb satire on television and other human folies, and a riotous farce that is set in the foreseeable future where everything has changed... except human nature. |
 | Adapted from Victor Hugo’s classic novel, THE LEGEND OF QUASIMODO, REVISITED is a kid-friendly farce surrounding an adventurous day in the otherwise bleak life of one of literature’s most renowned figures. There we find an oafish Quasimodo who stands up to his mean-spirited master Frollo along with his new friends - the slightly daft war hero Phoebus and the feisty gypsy girl Esmeralda - and finally creates a happy ending for his illustrious tale. The play is full of slapstick comedy and pop culture references, but beneath the humor there is a timeless moral core with lessons in cultural tolerance, triumph over adversity and the value of friendship. |
 | Boys' Life traces the misadventures of three former college buddies seeking to make their way in New York City in the 1980s. Told in a series of fast-paced, shaply etched scenes, the play dissects and anatomizes the male narcissism and protracted adolescence which afflicts its male characters. Nominated for a Pulitzer Prize, the New Yorker called it "the most balanced and intelligent comment on the battle of the sexes I've seen in a long time. |

This stirring and timeless classic offers "truth in the pleasant disguise of illusion." Set in 1930s St Louis, this memory play examines impossible family relationships, born of abandonment, and viewed through the shifting prism of time, distance, and lost hopes. This masterwork of the American theater is an intimate exploration of one family's heartfelt struggles. |
