Written by the same playwright that brought us VAMPIRE LESBIANS OF SODOM and PSYCHO BEACH PARTY, this comic melodrama that evokes the 1960’s films that featured aging stars such as Bette Davis, Joan Crawford and Lana Turner. DIE, MOMMIE, DIE features ex-pop singer, Angela Arden (played by Saxon Murrell), who is trapped in a hateful marriage to Sol Sussman. She is desperate to find happiness with her young lover, and, in a plot that reflects Greek tragedy as well as Hollywood kitsch, you will see the hilarity unfold.

Boston Marriage"By: David Mamet
January 11th ~ February 3rd, 2007
All shows 8:00pm...Thursday, Friday, and Saturdays
Only $17
The term "Boston Marriage" described New England women, often intellectuals and/or feminists, who lived together without men. They either had independent income or careers of their own. Whether their relationships were sexual or not, they were certainly dependent on each other for emotional support.
Anna and Claire are two bantering, scheming "women of fashion" who have long lived together on the fringes of upper-class society. Anna has just become the mistress of a wealthy man, from whom she has received an enormous emerald and an income to match. Claire, meanwhile, is infatuated with a respectable young lady and wants to enlist the jealous Anna's help for a rendezvous.
As the two women exchange barbs and take turns taunting Anna's hapless Scottish parlor maid, Claire's young lady friend suddenly appears, setting off a crisis that puts both the valuable emerald and the women's futures at risk. To this wickedly funny comedy, David Mamet brings his trademark tart dialogue and impeccable plotting.

Claire: Jill Marlar

"The Big Bang"
April 26th ~ May 26th, 2007
All shows 8:00pm...Thursday, Friday, and Saturdays
Only $20
Have you ever dreamed of getting involved in a big-time Broadway production? Join us in the elegant Park Avenue apartment of Dr. Sid and Sylvia Lipbalm as two wannabe producers, Jed and Boyd (Cris Morriss and Will Harrell), try to line up backers for The Big Bang, the most expensive and lavish Broadway musical ever written.
Set in a borrowed Park Avenue Apartment, this two-man circus sing and clown their way from creation to the present, running through the history of the universe in a record 90 minutes. Using all resources and playing all the roles, including Adam and Eve and Queen Isabella and Columbus, they have their talents put to the test as they try to convince potential theatrical backers (the audience) that this frivolity is somehow worthy of the largest cast, most expensive budget and the longest running time of any known Broadway show. Will Broadway ever be the same? Surely, the Lipbalm apartment won't!
The Big Bang, a mad-capped, two-man musical tour of history, features music by Jed Feuer and book and lyrics by Boyd Graham.

The Lady With All the Answers,

For decades, renowned advice columnist Ann Landers answered countless letters
from lovelorn teens, confused couples, and a multitude of others in need of

motorcycle helmet, sibling rivalries, addiction, and wandering spouses. Always,
Landers regaled her readers with direct, insightful, and often humorously honest
responses.
In The Lady With All the Answers, we find Ann late on a 1975
night in her Chicago apartment, struggling to write the column that would become
one of the most famous she would ever compose. Come spend an evening with the
woman who seemed like family to millions of readers who had breakfast with her
-- or at least her advice -- every morning.
