SPECIAL

OLD WICKED SONGS

by

Jon Marans

An emotionally charged and extremely satisfying drama about a young American piano virtuoso suffering from creative burnout and the equally emotionally fragile voice teacher assigned to help him. Theatre goers will be moved by way the subtleties of Schumann's "Dichterliebe" song cycle assumes a front-and-center role.

Nominated for Pulitzer Prize in Drama 1996.

THE SISTERS ROSENSWEIG

by

Wendy Wasserstein

"Artie" award for
best play of '06-07 season in Buffalo

A captivating comedy about the transformative power of love, sisterhood and life -- sharp, scintillating and sparkling. Ms. Wasserstein wrote this comedy as a tribute to her sisters and "for all women who have endured and triumphed with the love of their sisters." Nominated for five Tony Awards, this endearing and intelligent play is, as The New York Times wrote, "a captivating look at three uncommon women and their quest for love, self-definition and fulfillment."
