 Lend me a Tenorwritten by Ken Ludwig directed by Betty Detamore This night in September 1934 is the biggest in the history of the Cleveland Grand Opera Company. World famous tenor Tito Morelli is to perform Otello, his greatest role, at the gala season-opener. Saunders, the General Manager, hopes this will put Cleveland on the operatic map. Morelli is late; when he finally sweeps in, it is too late to rehearse with the company. Through a hilarious series of mistakes, the tenor is given a double dose of tranquilizers which mix with the booze he has consumed and he passes out. His pulse is so low that Saunders and his assistant Max believe he is dead. Max is an aspiring singer and Saunders persuades him to get into Morelli's Otello costume and try to fool the audience in thinking he's the famous tenor. Max succeeds admirably, but Morelli comes to and gets into his other costume. Now two Otellos are running around in costume and two women are running around in lingerie, each thinking she is with the famous tenor. A sensation on Broadway and in London's West End. Rave reviews call it "Uproariously funny", "hysterical", "Rib tickling", "non-stop laughter", "Screamingly funny", etc.  Done to Deathwritten by Fred Carmichael directed by Sutton and Smith Once famous mystery writers involve the audience as they apply their individual methods to solving various murders. They include a couple who write sophisticated murders, a young author of the James Bond school, a retired writer of the hard-hitting method and an aging queen of the logical murder. Ingeniously packed into the script is a parody of each mystery plot, hero and villain created in the past fifty years. The story alternates between reality and imagination as five mystery writers wrestle with the problem of writing a television mystery series. All around them murders occur. Critics call it "skillful and fast-paced game of guess again with the audience... clever and rewarding".
written by Jerry Sterner directed by Betty Detamore Wall Street takeover artist Lawrence Garfinkle's intrepid computer is going tilt over the undervalued stock of New England Wire & Cable. If the stockholders back Garfinkle's take-over, they will make a bundle, but what will happen to the 1200 employees and the community when he liquidates the assets? Opposing the charmingly rapacious financier are Jergenson, who has run the company since the year one, and his chief operations officer who understands, unlike the genial Jergenson, the threat Garfinkle poses. They bring in Kate, a young lawyer who specializes in fending off takeovers. She must convince Jorgenson that decisive action is needed. Should they use green mail? Try to find a white knight? Employ a shark repellent? This compelling drama about Main Street vs. Wall Street provides an inside perspetive on whether corporate raiders are creatures from the Black Lagoon of capitalism or the ultimate realists who save business from itself. Critics call it "Funny, serious, suspenseful, involving, disturbing and above all, expertly crafted".  Squabbles (aka Your House or Mine)written by Marshall Karp directed by Laura Zavadsky This hilarious play pits a father-in-law against a mother in a comedic succession of squabbles. Jerry Sloan is a successful writer of advertising jingles married to an equally successful lawyer. Living with the happy couple is the not-so-happy Abe (Jerry's curmudgeon father-in-law). Abe is a funny guy...to the audience, not to Jerry. The situation is exacerbated when Jerry's mother Mildred's house burns down and she needs a place to stay. Abe and Mildred can't stand each other. The play is one hilarious confrontation after another until the heart-warming finale in which the oldsters discover that, really, each is not so bad. Critics say, "A surefire funny hit".
written by Charles Lederer and Luther Davis directed by Joseph Angelieri Set in ancient Baghdad, the action in this "musical Arabian Nights" occurs during a 24 hour dawn-to-dawn period in which a roguish public poet assumes the identity of a beggar, and becomes the subject of a series of unlikely adventures (and misadventures). | ||||||||
