The Gin Game, by D.L. Coburn, Directed by Ned Farley, March 11,12,18,19,24,25,26 at 7:30pm, March 20 at 4pm
This winner of the 1978 Pulitzer Prize, which originally starred Jessica Tandy and Hume Cronyn and was later revived with Julie Harris and Charles Durning, uses a card game as a metaphor for life. Weller Martin is playing solitaire on the porch of a seedy nursing home. Enter Fonsia Dorsey, a prim, self righteous lady. They discover they both dislike the home and enjoy gin rummy, so they begin to play and to reveal intimate details of their lives. Fonsia wins every time and their secrets become weapons used against one another. Weller longs for a victory to counter a lifetime of defeats but it doesn't happen. He leaves the stage a broken man and Fonsia realizes her self-righteous rigidity has led to an embittered, lonely old age.

WINNER! 2014 Pulitzer Prize for Drama
In a run-down movie theater in central Massachusetts, three underpaid employees mop the floors and attend to one of the last 35 millimeter film projectors in the state. Their tiny battles and not-so-tiny heartbreaks play out in the empty aisles, becoming more gripping than the lackluster, second-run movies on screen. With keen insight and a finely-tuned comic eye, The Flick is a hilarious and heart-rending cry for authenticity in a fast-changing world.
DOG PARK the musical, by Jahnna Beecham, Malcolm Hillgartner & Michael J. Hume; Songs by Malcolm Hillgartner, directed by Melanie Lowey, November 4,5,11,12,17,18,19 at 7:30pm; November 13 at 4pm
Follow Daisy the sassy Westie through her dating adventures with Itchy, Champ and Bogie at the hippest, hottest place in town: Central Bark, where every dog has his day, and love conquers all. Daisy has promised her BFF (Best Friend Forever) she'd give the dating scene one more chance. She meets Champ the Collie, a charming but full of himself show dog; Itchy, a "humperactive" Jack Russell terrier; and Bogie, the darkly mysterious Lab/mutt who sticks his neck out for no one. This unusual quartet make their way through the day's scheduled events which include Singles With Friends, Agility Class, Speed Mating, Yappy Hour and Lovers with Leashes, which is when they pair up and leave the park. Daisy comes to the conclusion that Champ only has eyes for himself, Itchy can only be a friend, and Bogie is the dog for her. But when Daisy makes her desires known to Bogie, she gets a rude awakening; we learn that Bogie, a stray, has been living at the Dogpark for six months. Bogie confesses his love for Daisy just as Animal Control arrives to take him away. Will Bogie and Daisy ever be reunited?

WAITING FOR GUFFMAN A Staged Reading of the screenplay by Christopher Guest and Eugene Levy May 7 at 7:30pm & May 8 at 4pm
In the fictional small town of Blaine, Missouri, a handful of utterly delusional residents prepare to put on a community theater production led by eccentric director Corky St. Clair. The show, a musical chronicling the town's history titled Red, White and Blaine, is to be performed as part of the town's 150th anniversary celebration.
BOLLYWOOD AND VINE A Staged Reading of a new musical Music by Daniel Neiden, Lyrics by June Rachelson-Ospa, and Book by Edward Jordon (based on his screenplays "The Road to Bollywood" and "The Enchantress Mohini" September 17 at 7:30pm & September 18 at 4pm
Hollywood scream queen Delilah Leigh hasn't made a movie in years, but she's a superstar to love struck Bhuvan Bannerji, a newly transplanted Indian who runs a bus tour of movie stars' homes in Los Angeles. A wannabe filmmaker, Bhuvan hopes to sweep Delilah off her feet and whisk her back to India's Tinseltown, "Bollywood." He even writes her a comeback vehicle called "The Great Lady," a throwback to all those campy horror movies of the 1960s that reheated the careers of veteran Hollywood actresses like Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, and Tallulah Bankhead. In true "Sunset Boulevard" fashion, Delilah and her frumpy assistant, Thelma, take the fledgling writer under their wings. But these "Great Ladies" aren't exactly who they say they are. Thelma is actually Delilah and Delilah is actually Delilah's gay son, Devin. By the time Bhuvan discovers their ruse, Devin has fallen head-over-high heels for him. But that's just the beginning. In a case of life imitating art, Delilah helps their romance along by borrowing from the outrageous plot of one of her old B-movies. Along the way, Delilah also finds her own true love. Reviewers of the original non-musical film hailed it as "Sunset Boulevard with a gay and Indian twist" OR, as we like to dub it, "Sunset Boulevard meets La Cage Aux Folles."
