This Tony award winning play was the basis for the Oscar winning movie of the same name. It explores the relationship between an older couple, Ethel and Norman Thayer, and their daughter, Chelsea. The often-turbulent relationship Chelsea shared with her father growing up, as well as the difficulties faced by Ethel and Norman in the twilight years of a long marriage, make for a thoroughly enjoyable evening of entertainment.

Charlie- Norman – John Nordan
Ethel – Carolyn Taylor*

The Women is an acidic comedic commentary on the pampered lives and power struggles of various wealthy Manhattan socialites and up-and-comers and the gossip that propels and damages their relationships. While men frequently are the subject of their lively discussions and play an important role in the action on-stage, they are strictly characters mentioned but never seen.

"A little song, a little dance, a little eggnog down your pants" is the slogan of A Broadway Christmas Carol. Dickens' classic is brought to life by three actors, one piano player, many witty song parodies, split second costume changes and a breakneck pace. "Kathy Feininger's fractured fable is the funniest holiday show around. Wild and wacky takes and take-offs on the original tale remain faithful to the core of the Dickens plot." -AOL City Guide, Atlanta.

The multi-Tony award winning Titanic is based on the true story of the great ship's maiden voyage from departure in Southampton, England to the sinking in the Atlantic by an iceberg. The show touches on issues such as class, immigration and mankind's vulnerability in the face of nature. The story follows passengers and crew members who actually existed and were aboard the Titanic back in 1912.
