ONE’S TIDY. ONE’S MESSY. WHAT COULD GO WRONG?

This classic comedy opens as a group of “the guys” assemble for cards in the messy apartment of divorced Oscar Madison. Late to arrive is Felix Unger, who has just been separated from his wife. The two suddenly single pals — Oscar, a sloppy sportswriter and Felix, a fastidious news writer — strain their friendship by becoming roommates and unconsciously repeating the same mistakes they made in the marriages they just left.

By Neil Simon

FUNNY. SHARP. SMART.

Henrik Ibsen’s 1879 masterpiece A Doll’s House ends with a positively shocking one in its time: Nora Helmer, a housewife, leaves her husband and children behind in order to gain her independence. Now, Fifteen years after she infamously slammed the door on her stifling domestic life, she has returned with an urgent request. Before she can get what she needs, however, she must reckon with the family she left in her wake. Lucas Hnath’s funny, probing, and bold play is at once a continuation of Ibsen’s complex exploration of gender roles and a clever contemporary take on the struggles inherent in all human relationships.

That’s so Fetch!

Cady Heron may have grown up on an African savanna, but nothing prepared her for the wild and vicious ways of her strange new home: suburban Illinois. How will this naïve newbie rise to the top of the popularity pecking order? By taking on The Plastics, a trio of lionized frenemies led by the charming but ruthless Regina George. But when Cady and her friends devise a “Revenge Party” to end Regina’s reign, she learns the hard way that you can’t cross a Queen Bee without getting stung. Adapted from Fey’s hit 2004 film, Mean Girls was nominated for a staggering 12 Tony Awards. This queen-bee took Broadway by storm and has joined the musical in-crowd.
