Mao vs Manolo. BMW vs Buddha. Little Red Book vs Vogue. Don't call it a debate. Call it, a cautious friendship. Two young women -- one from the USA and the other from China -- duke out their loves, lives and emerging ideologies in this disarmingly funny coming-of-age epistolary smackdown. An award-winning play based on actual events, directed by the playwright who lived it.
Director: Elizabeth Wong

John Ford Noonan's long-running off-Broadway hit shows how worlds collide when uptight Maude meets her sexed-up neighbor Hannah Mae. Throughout this zany romp, the mismatched pair fight, scheme, cheat, laugh and love. When the play first premiered in 1980, THE NEW YORK TIMES hailed it as "an unusually smart sitcom" and it went on to run for two years, helping launch the careers of Susan Sarandon and Dixie Carter.
Director: Jackie Roberts

In this wildly funny play by acclaimed comedian, actor and playwright Steve Martin, Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein personify art and science as they duke it out in a local pub. Whose truth is the real truth? Who will have the greatest impact on the next century? Martin discusses this and more while mixing wit and absurdity with great aplomb. You will laugh your way into the modern age!

Ambition…Greed…Fame…Vision: What drives our leaders? Brace yourself this presidential election season with a highly charged original production to rattle you, if not your politics. The Bard's best scenes are assembled to illuminate what goes on in the minds of those in charge -- Shakespeare takes us into the very vortex of power.
Conceived and directed by Jeffrey Mousseau
