This is a highly entertaining romantic play with wonderful signature songs, laced with intriguing World War II history, written with infectiously charming style and much research. We are privy to the romance and challenges of two world entertainment giants. Having met in 1932 in Hollywood (each married to others) they would remain lovers and friends for life. Dietrich, the stunning movie goddess of Germany, and Chevalier, the singing idol of France, had many wartime complications. As the inspiring and intimate true story unfolds, we learn as well as enjoy. (Senior, Student and group rates are available) |

Returning by popular demand is this side-splitting reinvention by the incomparable Steve Martin of Carl Sternheim’s turn-of-the-century satire on sex, in which he focuses his zany eye on the relation-ship between a prudish government clerk and his delectably voluptuous young wife, Louise. Set in 1910, when a glimpse of stocking was something shocking, two very different men face cardiac arrest when they are witness to the full descent of luscious Louise’s lingerie during an outdoor celebration. Louise becomes something of an instant celebrity and a magnet for romantic intrigue in this hilarious, frothy, naughty comedy. |

In 1661 the most famous portrayer of female roles on the London stage was the performer “Kynaston”. Like every other player permitted by law to portray such roles, Kynaston was a man. Edward Kynaston is applauded on stage and off for his interpretations of Shakespeare’s tragic ladies, Ophelia and especially his Desdemona with it’s famous ‘death scene’. He’s the toast of the town and the very secret “mistress” of the powerful Duke of Buckingham. But when the unknown Margaret Hughes plays Desdemona at an illegal theatre, instead of stopping the show, the ever game King Charles II changes the law to allow women, to act and Kynaston’s world is turned upside down. He loses his cachet, his livelihood, his lover and his sense of self. Nell Gwynn, King Charles’ mistress, even Kynaston’s former dresser, Maria, become stars, his own light disappears until fate and his desire for revenge give him the chance to take the stage again. |
