November 7, 8 / 14, 15, 2003 at 8 pm Sunday, November 16, 2003 at 3 pm "HAY FEVER" By NOEL COWARD John J. DiMita, director "We're a beastly family and I hate us." Described as the 'Osbournes' of 1924, Hay Fever treats its audience to a wild visit with the Bliss family, eccentric artists living in grand style in the English countryside. Written by Noel Coward when he was only 24, this madcap comedy begins with the unexpected arrival of four guests, each with hopes for a weekend liaison. Things soon go delightfully haywire, as good manners collide with bohemian madness, leaving guests and hosts to play a game of romantic musical chairs. Campus Theatre $10

Friday/Saturday April 2, 3 / 9, 10, 2004 at 8 pm Sunday, April 4, 2004 at 3 pm "BRIGHTON BEACH MEMOIRS" By NEIL SIMON Ron Scarlata, director In Neil Simon's darkly funny memoir of his family in 1930's Brooklyn, fifteen-year-old Eugene is preoccupied by his passion for the Yankees and his lust for his beautiful cousin Nora. Eugene lives in crowded, lower middle-class surroundings with his father, mother, and older brother but also the mother's widowed sister and two daughters - circumstances realistically described by the father as … "if you don't have a problem, you wouldn't live in this house!" Eugene's comic growing pains contrast with the darker issues troubling his family: poverty, illness, and the growing Nazi threat to relatives in Europe. Simon looks back not with anger but with affection creating a Brooklyn universe full of memorable characters, humor and truth. Winner of the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award for Best Play. Campus Theatre $10 |
