Play Frank McGuiness

Tickets: $20 in advance - $25 at door
*Contains Strong Language
This powerful and moving play, set in Beirut, Lebanon in the 1980s, is based on a true story. In the perma-darkness of a windowless room, with one ankle shackled, English academic Michael, Irish journalist Edward, and American doctor Adam wonder what they have done to deserve captivity and when, if ever, they might see their loved ones again. Having little contact with their unseen captors, and none whatsoever with the outside world, the men use dark humor and their vivid imaginations to forge their own reality within the walls of their cell. As victims of political action, powerless to initiate change, what can they do? How do they live and survive? Filled with humor and pathos, Someone Who'll Watch Over Me is ultimately a remarkable celebration of the human spirit. This play was first staged in July 1992 at the Hampstead Theater in London. It was later produced on Broadway at the Booth Theater and ran for almost 300 performances. This production is directed by Amanda Urbaniak.
Private Lives
By Noel Coward
January 20-21, 27-28 at 7:00 PM
January 22 and 29 at 3PM
Tickets: $20 in advance - $25 at door
Private Lives is one of the most sophisticated, entertaining plays ever written. Elyot and Amanda, once married and now honeymooning with new spouses at the same hotel, meet by chance, reignite the old spark and impulsively elope. After days of being reunited, they again find their fiery romance alternating between passions of love and anger. When discovered by their jilted lovers, all four individuals find themselves in the midst of the most compromising of situations.
Brilliant and witty, Noel Coward's comedy of manners is a delightful romp. Since its premiere at the Kings Theatre in Edinburgh in 1930, this uniquely humorous play boasts numerous successful Broadway runs with such as stars Coward himself, Laurence Olivier, Tallulah Bankhead, Gertrude Lawrence, Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor. This production is directed by Susan Voorhees.
