OUR 2002-2003 SEASON Now we're rolling... "Glengarry Glen Ross"
by David Mamet Winner of the 1984 Pulitzer Prize, David Mamet's scalding comedy concerns a crew of small-time, cutthroat real estate salesmen trying to grind out a living by pushing plots of land on reluctant buyers in a never-ending scramble for their fair share of the American dream. Mamet's bitter wash-outs cajole, connive, wheedle, and wheel and deal for a piece of the action--where closing a sale can mean a brand new Cadillac, but losing one can mean losing it all. "Crackling tension... ferocious comedy and drama. A
top American playwright in bristling form." "Other People's Money" by Jerry
Sterner The Outer Critics Circle’s Best Off-Broadway Play of 1989 is a dazzlingly sharp comedic drama combining the dizzying workings of big business with a classic battle of the sexes. Lawrence Garfinkle—aka “Larry The Liquidator”—is a corporate raider who meets his match when his attempts to take over a New England wire and cable company are thwarted by sexy attorney Kate Sullivan, whom he immediately falls for. Both Kate and her smitten adversary are first-class manipulators—but how far will they go to close the deal? “Funny, serious, suspenseful, involving, disturbing, and above all,
expertly crafted… Epic grandeur and intimate titillation combined.
It is the most stimulating kind of entertainment.” "Prelude To A Kiss" by Craig
Lucas This Valentine's Day treat was nominated for the 1990 Drama Desk Award and Tony Award for Best Play. Newlyweds Peter and Rita find their promise to love each other forever tested in ways that could never have imagined. Just moments after they exchange wedding vows, an elderly man appears and asks for a kiss from the bride. Rita agrees and before long Peter notices that his bride is not the girl she used to be. When he realizes that Rita and the old man have somehow exchanged souls, Peter knows he must find him to get back the woman he loves. "Prelude To A Kiss is a charming and highly original fantasy
comedy about the wonder and confusion of love." "Boys' Life" by Howard
Korder & A double-bill of darkly funny, brutally truthful examinations of the male/female dynamic. "Boys' Life" traces the misadventures of three former college buddies now seeking to make their way in the big city--and with various women of their acquaintance. "Sexual Perversity" concerns two young men and two young women, trying to sort out their sex lives amid filing cabinets and the nervous regimentation of the singles bar scene. Told in a series of fast-paced, sharply etched scenes, with biting. satirical humor, "Boys' Life" and "Sexual Perversity In Chicago" dissect and anatomize the male narcissism--and protracted adolescence--which characterize its protagonists. And, our special summer fund-raiser production... "The Odd Couple" by Neil
Simon This special summer production of Neil Simon's comedy classic was presented as a fundraiser for Theatre On Consignment and the historic Orpheum Theatre. Opposites attract... or so they say... when the carefree Oscar invites his down-and-out neurotic friend, Felix, to move into his less than spotless apartment. What at first seems to be a simple solution to living arrangements takes a hilarious turn as Oscar and Felix discover that good friends do not necessarily make good roommates.
