This is a wonderful revue featuring all the great Mitchell Parish songs from the 1920’s-the 1950’s. Sit back and enjoys such greats as: Ciao, Ciao, Bambino, Sweet Lorraine, Moonlight Serenade, Sleigh Ride, Volare, Deep Purple, and of course, Star Dust.

The Sunshine Boys
 By Neil Simon

Willie Clark and Al Lewis are two Vaudevillians who although partners for years, now no longer speak to each other. Willie’s nephew, Ben Silverman, an agent, wants to bring the twosome back together for a big television special about the golden age of comedy. Is it possible for two old men to be more stubborn and cantankerous than Willie and Al? Each puts up the most comedic roadblocks possible to their reunion. One of Simon's finest plays.

Going to St. Ives
By Lee Blessing


May N’Kame, the mother of an African dictator, travels to England to see Dr. Cora Gage about medical treatment for her failing eyesight. Dr. Gage uses the consultation as an opportunity to raise the issue of the imprisonment of some of her colleagues. May’s true motive in visiting the doctor is to obtain poison with which to kill her murderous son. These impressive women brought together by that which is personal and divided by that which is political both seek to accomplish the greatest good. Beautiful writing and captivating characters. Emotionally and intellectually engrossing.
