THE PREVALENCE OF MRS. SEAL
Otis Bigelow
directed by Michael Spellman
Oct 30 - Nov 15, 2009
Can all the money in the world buy you happiness? You bet it can. Just ask Mrs Seal. She uses her wealth to assemble a crack team of spiritualist, doctor and vam… well, let's say Count, and challenges them to find a way for her to live forever – or at least for a very long time.
When she opts for a brain-transfer, things begin to go haywire. With her brain going one way and her body another, she inhabits enough characters to constitute a nuclear family all by herself.
Come and see if you can keep track of "Mrs. Seal".

GASLIGHT
(Angel Street)
Patrick Hamilton
directed by Sherrionne Brown
Jan 15 - Feb 14, 2010
One of the longest running non-musicals in Broadway history, this Victorian England psychological thriller, also known as Angel Street, spawned a new generation of stage thrillers and led to the 1944 Academy Award Winning film, starring Ingrid Bergman.
The tale follows Bella Manningham, a sensitive woman, whose husband has almost convinced her that her sanity is disintegrating. When a mysterious police inspector arrives and suggests that Jack Manningham is suspected of a black-hearted murder committed fifteen years ago in the very same house, the game of uncovering the necessary evidence begins....

PARTITION
Ira Hauptman

Mar 5 - Mar 28, 2010
Ramanujan, a young, self-taught mathematical genius has been invited to Cambridge, England by the great professor of mathematics, G. H. Hardy. Although separated by differences in culture and personality, they develop a unique relationship through their passion for mathematics---with the assistance of an Indian goddess and a seventeenth century ghost.
This wonderful fantasy about the nature of art and creativity, science and religion, the clash of cultures, and human relationships is based on real historic figures and events in the early twentieth century.

- a winning new musical
Michael Hertzman
Ilene Reid
David Holcenberg
directed by FUZZ Roark
musical direction by Michael Tan
April 23 - May 23, 2010
Bingo is a splashy, zippy, outrageously funny new musical. Come meet Vern, Honey and Patsy - three pals that have driven through a terrible storm in the name of their weekly passion. In between the number calling, strange rituals and fierce competitions, love blossoms and long lost friends reunite!
“Bingo is not only a mu
sical comedy - it’s a study in friendship, of people who have played and talked together for years. It is an opportunity for us to see how people can know so much about one another, and yet realize how much more they need to learn.”
- Kevin McCollum (Producer of Rent, Avenue Q, and In the Heights.)

ARMS AND THE MAN
George Bernard Shaw
directed by Brad J. Ranno
July 9 - Aug 1, 2010
Arms and the Man is George Bernard Shaw's witty comedy of questionable manners. Decadent chivalry meets modern manners when, having deserted from his regiment, Capitan Bluntschli takes refuge in the apartment of a beautiful young Russian girl, Raina Petkoff. Raina is all for turning in the captain until he wins her over with the Shavian logic of his argument against warfare.
When Bluntschli returns to the house after the war with Raina's fiancé, Major Sergius Saranoff the hero of the war, Raina must decide who she really loves, the military hero she idolizes or the rough speaking solider she hid and fed chocolates.
