BAD DATES by Theresa Rebeck
This wildly popular comedy about a single mother's search for love, which involves the Romanian mob, a Buddhist rainstorm, 600 pairs of shoes, and, of course, some very, very bad dates, is a feel-good charmer.

NO WAY TO TREAT A LADY by Douglas Cohen
A theatrically charged musical comedy thriller about a publicity crazed actor turned killer and the endearing detective who pursues him. A devilish blend of humor, romance and murder: the killer adopts a myriad of disguises including a tango instructor, French waiter, female barfly and priest "Terrific! Hilarious! Dynamic! An unabashedly histrionic romp with plenty of laughs, a fair share of romance and a welcome abundance of drollery." -The Los Angeles Times

ONE SLIGHT HITCH by comedian Lewis Black
"There's more than a touch of Neil Simon in the morose Mr. Black." —NY Times. "If you think of Lewis Black solely as a curmudgeonly comedian whose default setting is a state of apoplexy at the imbecility of his fellow man, you might be surprised by ONE SLIGHT HITCH. It's not unexpected that HITCH should abound in snappy wisecracks and keen social observation. Those, after all, are hallmarks of Black's stand-up act and his appearances on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. But what is that we detect on Black's sleeve at the end of his play? Is that his…heart?" —Boston Globe.

RAPTURE BLISTER BURN by Gina Gionfriddo
