Nov 25 – Dec 17, 2011 CLOSED Whether you celebrate Christmas or not, you'll enjoy this hilarious one-man show. Based on the outlandish (and true) chronicles of NPR humorist and best-selling author David Sedaris' experience as Crumpet the Elf in Macy's Santaland display; this hilarious cult classic features comic encounters during the height of the holiday crunch.

Feb 3 - 25, 2012 CLOSED A riveting play with music. It's 1927 in a rundown studio in Chicago where Ma Rainey is recording new sides of old favorites. More goes down in the session than music in this riveting portrayal of rage, racism, the self hate and exploitation. The New York Times calls the play "searing ... funny, salty, carnal and lyrical"! Recommended for mature audiences.

Apr 13 – May 5, 2012 ON STAGE NOW A biting comedy. Barry Champlain, Cleveland's controversial radio host is on the air doing what he does best: insulting the pathetic souls who call in the middle of the night to sound off. Tomorrow, Barry's show is going into national syndication and his producer is afraid that Barry will say something that will offend the sponsors. This, of course, makes Barry even more outrageous. Recommended for mature audiences. |
