A Christmas Story

A Christmas Story

November 29-December 2, 2012, Madison Square Center for the Arts

The Beverly Hillbillies

February 28, 2013 and March 1-3, 2013, Madison Square Center for the Arts

The lovable Clampett family rides onto your stage for an evening of hillbilly hilarity. Starting in the Clampett’s mountain cabin, the play follows them through the discovery of oil, their improbably invasion of hi-falutin’ Beverly Hills society and the absurd adventures and ridiculous romances they encounter there. They and the people they meet in “Californy” provide challenging characterizations for your cast.

Sweeney Todd:  The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

June 13-16, 2013, Madison Square Center for the Arts

Sweeney Todd returns from an unjust prison sentence handed down to him by a crooked judge who wanted Todd’s wife for himself.  Many years later, Sweeney gets out of jail and learns that the judge has discarded his wife to a life of shame, and kept Todd’s daughter for his own.  Sweeney Todd sets out to get revenge, reopening his Fleet Street barber shop hoping to one day get the judge in his barber chair and under his razor!  The frivolity and mayhem that follow leaves one both amazed and surprised.  Come see this wonderful, original version of the show, which is much lighter and with more laughs than the recent movie.  It will move you, make you laugh, and leave you breathless in its macabre plot line.
