‘Twas the night before Christmas…
and there’s a burglar in the house.
Or is it someone with an unusual attachment to reindeer!!?
From the writer of Making God Laugh comes a new two-person, one-piano family musical comedy about a right jolly old elf, a less jolly young woman, and an old wish finally coming true.
Find the true meaning of Christmas…
or maybe just laugh like a bowl full of jelly!

At age 72, Daisy Werthan has crashed her car for the last time. Her son hires her a driver, and for the next 25 years, Hoke drives Miss Daisy. Daisy is a wealthy Jewish southerner with a sharp tongue, while Hoke is a thoughtful, employed Black man, whom Daisy regards with disdain and who, in turn, is not impressed with his employer’s patronizing tone and, he believes, her latent prejudice. Driving Miss Daisy is the warm-hearted, humorous, and affecting sorry of the development of their unlikely friendship. The 1989 movie featured Jessica Tandy, Dan Akroyd and Morgan Freeman, who also played the driver on Broadway in 1987. The play won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, three Outer Circle Critics Awards and an Obie award. The movie was nominated for nine Oscars, including for the three principal actors, and won for Best Picture, Best Actress and Best Writing.

Unger and Madison are at it again! Neil Simon’s revision of his hugely successful play, The Odd Couple, sees the lead characters transformed into Olive Madison and Florence Unger. Olive and their group of girlfriends are enjoying their weekly Trivial Pursuit night in Olive’s messy and ill-equipped apartment. As the game continues, Florence arrives, fresh from being dumped by her husband. Olive invites her to move in as her roommate. However, Olive and Florence discover they have very different personalities. Olive’s easy-going outlook on life soon clashes with Florence’s highly-strung neurotic tendencies, testing their friendship to the limit. When Olive organizes a double date with the Costazuela brothers, their differences come to a head and sparks fly. This updated version of this classic comedy is even funnier than the original!

During an ostentatious wedding reception, five reluctant bridesmaids have their own reasons for hiding out in an upstairs bedroom. Frances is a painfully sweet but sheltered fundamentalist. Mindy is the cheerful, wise-cracking lesbian sister of the groom. Georgeanne is coping badly with the heartbreak of her own failed marriage. Meredith, the bride’s younger sister, has a dark secret. And Trisha may have to reconsider her die-hard cynicism about men when she meets Tripp, a charming bad-boy usher. As the afternoon wears on, these five very different women discover a common bond, in this wickedly funny, irreverent and touching celebration of women’s spirit.
