THE DRUNKEN CITY
By Adam Bock
On the bar crawl to end all crawls, three twenty-something brides-to-be find their lives going topsy-turvy after a chance encounter with a handsome stranger. The Drunken City is a wildly theatrical take on the mystique of marriage and the ever-shifting nature of love and identity in a city that never sleeps.

A great girls' night out!

"A playful and hopeful comedy. Like the best episodes of 'Sex and the City,' a little heartache always goes well with hilarity. The cast is appealing, adorable, and top-shelf. There's only one response to something as pleasing as The Drunken City — another round!" —Daily News

THE LARK (L'Alouette)
By Jean Anouilh

The classic Jean Anouilh play about Joan of Arc. Scenes from Saint Joan's life are played out during her trial as the politicians of the Church struggle to turn her simplicity into heresy. But it is the glory of her life rather than the tragedy that is the triumphant climax of the play.

Two performances on Easter Sunday! Book now to avoid disappointment.

SHIRLEY VALENTINE
By Willy Russell
By popular demand! Shirley is back!

A surprise hit of the 2005-06 season, revived for your pleasure.

Bridget Bean plays Shirley — a middle-aged Liverpool housewife who is offered a chance to take a Greek vacation. Will she accept the opportunity of a lifetime and take a leap into the unknown? Brimming with forthright comedy and pithy observations.

"Shirley shows us how to be who we are, and how to embrace life."
