This wildly warm-hearted theatrical experience (winner of five 1986 Tony Awards® including Best Musical, Best Book and Best Original Score) kicks off when the Music Hall Royale “puts on” its flamboyant rendition of an unfinished Charles Dickens mystery. The story itself deals with John Jasper, a Jekyll-and-Hyde choirmaster who is quite madly in love with his music student, the fair Miss Rosa Bud. Now, Miss Bud is, in turn, engaged to Jasper's nephew, young Edwin Drood. Our title character disappears mysteriously one stormy Christmas Eve — but has Edwin Drood been murdered? And if so, then whodunnit? The giddy playfulness of this play-within-a-play draws the audience toward one of this musical’s most talked-about features, which allows the audience to vote on the production’s ending as prelude to the most unusual and hilarious finale!

An ingenious and theatrically dazzling new adaptation of this great holiday classic by one of the theatre's most inventive and respected playwrights. Dickens himself narrates his tale of the miserly Scrooge and his journey from damnation to redemption, stepping into the story as various characters to move the story along in a fresh and exciting manner. Mr. Horovitz's adaptation follows the Dickens original story scrupulously but, in bringing it to life on the stage, adds elements of inventiveness and brilliant theatricality which enhance and strengthen its timeless virtues. The end result is a theatre piece of unique eloquence, which will be an “award-winner” for audiences of all ages!

The wit and timeless perceptions of America's greatest humorist are celebrated in this brilliant revue. Twain's talent for documenting the chronic and comic weaknesses of human nature is the focus of this two-act revue of his upbeat stories, sketches and monologues. Sprinkled throughout the show are opportunities for audience interaction, all in the spirit of the famously comical writer. Act I features Dennis Snee and Gregg Saeder’s Twain By the Tale, as Act II features their brilliant sequel, Mark Twain Again.

Immerse yourself in the Irish land of the Blarney Stone with Dancing at Lughnasa, 1992’s Tony Award® winning Best Play. Written by Brian Friel, this memory play was also transferred to the Hollywood screen in 1998 and starred Meryl Streep. Set in Ireland's County Donegal in August 1936, the story is told from the point of view of Michael, who recounts the summer in his aunts' cottage when he was seven-years-old. Chosen by Time Magazine as one of the ten best plays for 1991 saying it was "The most elegant and rueful memory play since The Glass Menagerie," it is also widely recognized as Brian Friel's masterpiece.
