This right–on satire was Gilbert & Sullivan's biggest hit,

characters in this hilarious "Japanese" operetta with verve and style.

John Amos in
HALLEY'S COMET
The star of Roots and Good Times appears in his own creation: a one–man
tour–de–force that takes you on a hilarious and touching journey. Amos,
as an 87 year old man, relates to the Comet he first saw as an 11 year
old boy and the remarkable life he has lived in between.

HELLO, DOLLY!
She's pushy, she's meddlesome, she's irritating, she's
a know–it–all; but above all else, she's delightful. She's Dolly! A new
touring production of the enduring hit show – winner of a record 10 Tony
Awards – brings the matchmaker extraordinaire to life on the Marsee Auditorium
stage.

A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM
by William Shakespeare
Directed by Tom Bradac. Shakespeare's most magical and
enchanted of plays combines fairies, fools and lovers into a wonderland
of poetry, prose and slapstick comedy. Featuring the adventures of Bottom
and the 'mechanicals', four lovers lost in the woods, Titania, Oberon
and the fairy kingdom – all cast in a magical spell of love, lust and
nonsense by that master of revels – Puck. One of Shakespeare's most popular
plays that appeals to lovers of all ages.

MARISOL
by
Jose Rivera
Directed by Robert G. Leigh. This Winner of the 1993 Obie
Award follows Marisol Perez, a young woman, who is copy editor for a Manhattan
publisher. Although she has elevated herself into the white collar class,
she continues to live alone in the dangerous Bronx neighborhood of her
childhood. An apocalyptic urban fantasy which urges society to "wake up"
and somehow find a way to recover the long lost and much–needed compassion
for our fellow man, as this is the only way to save our world.
