Hilarious and macabre spoof of 50’s sci-fi movies, this off- Broadway classic is one of the most popular American musicals of the past 30 years. From the creators of Beauty & the Beast and Aladdin.

Run For Your Wife
By Ray Cooney
JANUARY 15-FEBRUARY 3, 2008
One of the classic British sex farces, with lots of slamming doors, mistaken identity, a snooping policeman, and lots and lots of mayhem.
A taxi driver gets away with keeping two wives in different parts of London, thanks to his complicated work schedule…. until he has an accident. Complication piles upon complication as he tries to keep his double life from exploding.
Run for Your Wife
My Fair Lady
Book & Lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner.
Music by Frederick Loewe.
FEBRUARY 19-MARCH 16, 2008
This Lerner and Loewe musical is one of the world’s favorites. From Get Me To the Church on Time to I Could Have Danced All Night, every song is a gem.
As an experiment, Professor Henry Higgins takes on cockney girl Eliza Doolittle as a reclamation, to get her to pass as a high English society lady. But, of course, love and nature work their magical complications.

Mark Hollman. Music by Mark Hollman.
APRIL 1-20, 2008
The Number One Show in Town! Winner of two Tony Awards, this hilarious, quirky musical satire spoofs one of the few things we always take for granted.
In the middle of a great drought, the Urine Good Company controls water supply by controlling output. Private toilets are outlawed, and bathroom privileges come at a price. Then a young hero rises from the public to challenge this cruel system.
Come Blow Your Horn
By Neil Simon
MAY 13-25, 2008
The great comic writer’s first Broadway hit, a delightfully simple story about leaving home and sampling life, sibling rivalry, and pleasing the parents…all at the same time.
Sheltered younger brother Buddy leaves home to live with his older playboy brother. The trouble is, he only left a letter to his parents to explain. He soon finds that the carefree life has more cares than he wishes.

Annie Wilson, Director of Fundraising for Public Broadcasting Channel 68, is faced with a series of dilemmas in her personal and professional life.

Should Annie threaten to pull the plug on Sesame Street's lovable Big Bird if the phones don't ring during the station's pledge drive? Will the innocent lunch date with her co-worker, Elliot, prove to be more than they can handle? All of these questions are answered in Apartment 3A.
