Once upon a time, the young prince Pippin longed to
discover the secret of true happiness and fulfillment.
He sought it in the glories of the battlefield, the temptations
of the flesh and the intrigues of political power
(after disposing of his father King Charlemagne the
Great). In the end, he found it in the simple pleasures
of home and family. This hip, tongue-in-cheek, anachronistic
fairy tale captivated Broadway audiences and
continues to appeal to the young at heart everywhere
(the show has become a staple on high school and
college campuses). The energetic pop-influenced
score by three-time Oscar®-winning composer/lyricist
Stephen Schwartz (“Godspell,” “Children of Eden” and
the animated films “Pocahontas,” “The Hunchback Of
Notre Dame” and “The Prince Of Egypt”) bursts with
one show stopping number after another, from soaring
ballads to infectious dance numbers. |

Welcome to the Home Sweet Home Boardinghouse, where life is anything but normal. Miss Harriet runs a clean, cozy home with the help of the none-too-bright and perpetually terrified Tweenie, and accompanied by as zany a cast of boarders as you are likely to meet. There's Mr. Richards, the poet who practices dying to spark his inspiration. Gladys Klotz is a taxidermist who has a direct line to the spirit world and prefers her men stuffed, while Martha Willis has every imaginable illness, from leprosy to pneumonia to heart palpitations... and loves every minute of it. Poor Hortense tries her best to keep up with Ivy, a free spirited "artist" who enjoys painting people's faces, whether they want to be painted or not. Finally, the suave and mysterious Dirk Shadow and his sister Veronica have just arrived on the scene to hunt for Captain Schnook's pirate treasure buried in the basement... or is it really just something left over from dinner? Leave it to the clever and ever-vigilant Dr. Sni-fell to unravel the mystery that will have audiences laughing from beginning to end.

Milo was bored. Nothing really interested him – least of all the things that should have. Then, one day, Milo received the mysterious gift of an assembly-required toy turnpike tollbooth and magically enters the Lands Beyond, where he embarks on a quest to rescue the Princesses Sweet Rhyme and Pure Reason from exile and thereby reconcile the estranged kingdoms of Dictionopolis and Digitopolis. Milo’s adventures in the Land of Wisdom forces him to think about many new things. Milo is dispatched to rescue the Princesses from the Land of Ignorance. The knowledge and skills Milo picks up on his journey help him save the Princesses. When he must return home, Milo’s sorry to leave his friends—but is enriched by his experiences. He realizes his attitude towards learning will never be the same. |

This winner of the 1978 Pulitzer Prize, which originally starred Jessica Tandy and Hume Cronyn and later revived with Julie Harris and Charles Durning, uses a game as a metaphor for life. Weller Martin is playing solitaire on the porch of a seedy nursing home. Enter Fonsia Dorsey, a prim, self righteous lady. They discover they both dislike the home and enjoy gin rummy so they begin to play and to reveal intimate details of their lives. Fonsia wins every time and their secrets become weapons used against one another. Weller longs for a victory to counter a lifetime of defeats but it doesn't happen. He leaves the stage a broken man and Fonsia realizes her self-righteous rigidity has led to an embittered, lonely old age.
"A thoroughly entertaining lesson in the fine art of theatrical finesse. The closest thing the theatre offers to a duel at 10 paces."-The New York Times
"Extremely intelligent..fine bittersweet comedy...Funny, sad, profane, eloquent, touching, beautiful."-WABC-TV
"Perfect...A vibrant study on loneliness, disillusion, old age and death yet fiercely funny."- The Boston Globe |
