The Love Seat is a laugh-out-loud comedy with plenty of physical action, excited characters, and four busy doors. Each time someone sits on a certain love seat, romance blooms. Alex and Ned see this as good news in their efforts to woo Emily and Junie. But then everything goes fruitcake when The Great Fredini shows up. A crazy comedy with romance, mixed up lovers, and mad magic. Does Junie truly see a Quadruped? Will scary Mrs. Castleberry show up? And what’s up with Freddie’s nutty lamp?

7 women, 1 male
America’s premier comic playwright makes another hilarious foray into the world of modern relationships. Jake, a novelist who is more successful with fiction than with life, faces a marital crisis by daydreaming about the women in his life. The wildly comic and sometimes moving flashbacks played in his mind are interrupted by visitations from actual females. Jake’s women include a revered first wife who was killed years earlier in an accident, his daughter who is recalled as a child but is now a young woman, his boisterous and bossy sister, an opinionated analyst, his current wife who is leaving Jake for another man, and a prospective third wife.

In the middle of the Middle Ages, Morton Montesque’s troupe of traveling players happily believe they’ve volunteered to perform their play about a dragon for King Stanley The Stern. Actually, they’ve volunteered to slay a real dragon! When they discover their mistake, it’s too late to back out – but how can they succeed where so many brave heroes have failed? And this is one nasty, scary dragon! Fortunately, they’ll get help from a bookish prince who knows the secret of dragon snot, a high-born lady disguised as a peasant, a con woman and a pair of stinky shoes! But will it all be enough to keep them from becoming dragon food? This play is full of humor and excitement, thrills, danger, laughter and true love. What more could you ask for? It is… a play about a dragon!

5 Women 5 Men
Ms. Mystrie, the famous and prolific mystery writer, gathers a group of the world’s finest (and most peculiar) detectives at her home for a weekend of rollicking and relaxation. Her guests include Nancy Sketch, Sherlucky Holmes, Clues II, The Hardly Brothers (though they’re hardly brothers), and Rob Remington, Private Investigator. Once all together, Ms. Mystrie convinces them all to solemnly promise not to solve any mystery for two whole days. Everyone, though at first skeptical, complies. But when the body of a mysterious guest is found, everyone must decide whether to keep their promise. Unbeknownst to Ms. Mystrie (and everyone else), each of them has decided to find a way to find the murderer without solving the mystery. This play is full of frenzied one-liners and comic wordplay.
