"Barefoot in the Park"

April 18-20, 25-27


Neil Simon's hilarious look at a young lawyer and his new bride. Problems surface in their marriage immediately after moving into their new apartment, a wheezing six-flight climb from the street. And the apartment is absolutely bare of furniture, the paint job came out all wrong, the skylight leaks snow, there isn't room for a double bed, and an outlandish gourmet who lives in a loft on the roof uses it and the window ledge as the only access to his padlocked premises.

Little Shop of Horrors

October 2-5, 9-12

A down and out skid row floral assistant becomes an overnight sensation whe he discovers an exotic plant with a mysterious craving for fresh blood. Soon "Audrey II" grows into an ill-tempered, foul-mouthed, R & B-singing carnivore who offers him fame and fortune in exchange for feeding its growing appetite, finally revealing itself to be an alien creature poised for global domination!
One of the longest-running Off-Broadway shows of all time, this affectionate spoof of 1950's sci-fi movies has become a household name, thanks to a highly successful film version and a score by the songwriting team of Howard Ashman and Alan Menken. Charming, tuneful and hilarious, with tongue firmly planted in cheek, "The Little Shop of Horrors" never fails to enteratin.

*Sunday Matinees: October 5, 11, 12 @ 2:00pm
