OUR 2024-2025 SEASON
ABSENT FRIENDS
By ALAN AYCKBOURN • Directed by ERIC ALMLEAF
What could be worse than getting no help from your friends when you most need it? Well... perhaps getting “help” from those friends!
In this serio-comedy, Colin needs comfort after his fiancée’s death, so his friends arrange a tea party. But with their mixed-up lives, perhaps they’re not the best ones to offer comfort. When Colin arrives, their tenseness contrasts dramatically with his air of cheer, he being the only happy one among them. Fun and thought-provoking! More information.

ROMANTIC FOOLS
By RICH ORLOFF • Directed by DEBORAH MARTIN
12 two-character comedies examining love, lust, dating, and romance -- from a date with a caveman (Find Me a Primitive Man) to the joys of dull sex (One Man's Secret Desire) to the surprise frustrations of having a perfect mate (The Stepford Guy). With influences of Monty Python, Saturday Night Live, Jules Feiffer, the Marx Brothers, and classic vaudeville comedy, these sketches vary in style but all celebrate the inherent comedy of male-female relationships.
