Our 2012 Main Stage Season

I Hate Hamlet by Paul Rudnick

JAN 20-21-22, 27-28-29

A young and successful television actor relocates to New York, where he rents a marvelous, gothic apartment. With his television career in limbo, the actor is offered the opportunity to play Hamlet onstage, but there's one problem: He hates Hamlet! His dilemma deepens with the entrance of John Barrymore's ghost. The contrast between the two actors leads to a wildly funny duel over women, art, success, duty, television, and yes, the apartment.

Nana’s Naughty Knickers by Katherine DiSavino

MAR 23-24-25, 30-31, APR 1

Bridget and her Grandmother are about to become roommates. However, what Bridget saw as a unique opportunity to stay with her favorite Nana in New York for the summer quickly turns into an experience she’ll never forget. It seems her sweet Grandma is running an illegal boutique from her apartment, selling hand-made naughty knickers to every senior citizen in the five borough area! Will Bridget be able to handle all the excitement? Will her Nana get arrested - or worse! - evicted?

I Remember Mama by John van Druten

JUN 8-9-10, 15,16,17

Mama, with the help of her husband and Uncle Chris, brings up the children in their modest San Francisco home during the early years of the century. Mama's sisters and uncle furnish a rich background for a great deal of comedy and a little incidental tragedy, while the doings of the children manage to keep everyone in pleasant turmoil. No description can do justice to the rich characterizations that fill the author's canvas. One of the most heartwarming stories of American family life yet to reach the stage.

City of Angels by Larry Gelbart, Cy Coleman, David Zippel

SEP 28-29-30, OCT 5-6-7

The setting is Hollywood in the late 1940s. An author, Stine, is adapting his novel into a screenplay. In the novel, a wealthy socialite hires a detective, Stone, to find her step-daughter. The relatively simple missing daughter case turns complicated, possibly because Stine keeps rewriting it. The movie scenes appear in black and white, and the real-life scenes are in Technicolor. Apart from Stine and Stone, the actors portraying the characters in Stine's movie double as executives and actors in Stine’s life.

White Christmas: the Musical by Irving Berlin

NOV 30, DEC 1-2, 7-8-9

Based on the beloved, timeless film, this heartwarming musical adaptation features seventeen Irving Berlin songs and a book by David Ives and Paul Blake. Veterans Bob Wallace and Phil Davis have a successful song-and-dance act after World War II. With romance in mind, the two follow a duo of beautiful singing sisters en route to their Christmas show at a Vermont lodge, which just happens to be owned by Bob and Phil's former army commander. The dazzling score features well known standards including Blue Skies, I Love A Piano, How Deep Is the Ocean and the perennial favorite, White Christmas.
