This is a comedy about ten women and one man trying to conquer their inhibitions and an overabundance of left feet in a seedy dance studio in North London. An ex-professional chorine tries her hardest to teach the bumbling amateurs some dancing skills for an upcoming recital. Sometimes it is hard for Mavis, the instructor, to get her pupils to stop quarrelling long enough to dance. Her students are truly a hilarious, motley but loveable crew who finally triumph at their recital.

Around the turn of the century in the small town of Grovers Corners, folks were never afraid to leave their doors unlocked. This classic American play is about the simple but rather pleasant lives of the Gibbs family, the Webb family, and their neighbors in Grover's Corners, New Hampshire, early in the 20th century. Winner of the 1938 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Our Town has become a much beloved classic and is, perhaps, the most frequently produced play by an American playwright. Interweaving past and present, Wilder's stark and simple masterpiece chronicles small town life and reveals the universal truths that connect us all.

"Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it?—every, every minute?"

The pointed, passionate and profound songs of Belgian songwriter Jacques Brel are brought to vivid theatrical life in this intense musical experience. Song by song, Jacques Brel’s music tells individual stories of love and loss…being young and growing old…living with memories and looking to the future…craving adventure and longing for home. Presented in the style of a Parisian cabaret, Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris is one of the most enduring musical revues ofall time.
