ALMOST, MAINE
By John Cariani
This delightful romantic comedy has been called “a
charming midwinter’s night’s dream.”
Through a series of vignettes that hilariously capture
the joys and perils of romance, we meet the residents
of Almost, Maine – a village in the far northern
part of the Pine Tree State, where folks seem to be
falling in and out of love at an alarming rate.

FAT PIG
By Neil LaBute
A smash hit during its Off-Broadway
run, this sharply drawn comic-drama by the ever controversial
Neil LaBute concerns a young man forced to stand up and
defend the plus-size woman he loves when friends call
into question his new relationship. The play not only
critiques our slavish adherence to Hollywood ideals of
beauty, but also boldly challenges us to stand up for
what we believe in and change what we dislike in ourselves.

PARADE
Book by Alfred Uhry

This 2000 Tony Award-winner (Best Book,

(“Driving Miss Daisy”) and music and lyrics
by Jason Robert Brown (“Songs for a New World”,
“The Last Five Years”). Daring, innovative
and bold, this compelling musical tells the tragic,
true story of Leo Frank, a Brooklyn-born Jew living
in Georgia, who was put on trial for the murder of a
13 year-old girl.
