Written by Billy Van Zandt and Jane Milmore

Here is a wild farce with twists of fate, sight gags, mistaken identities and hilarious comic lines.  Jon Trachtman and Leslie Arthur are out of work musicians who room together in New York City.  To save money, Jon has been filing tax returns listing the pair as married.  The day of reckoning comes when the Internal Revenue Service informs the "couple" they're going to be investigated by a Mr. Spinner.  Leslie masquerades as a housewife, aided by Jon's fiancee, Kate.  Complicating matters further, Leslie and Kate are having an affair behind Jon's back.  Jon's mother drops in unexpectedly to meet her son's fiancee and Leslie's ex girlfriend shows up demanding to know why Leslie has changed and won't see her anymore.

Godspell

(July 20-22,  2012)

Written by Stephen Schwartz and John-Michael Tebelak

Directed by Sonja Redwine

Told almost entirely in song, Godspell presnet the gospel of St. Matthew updated to New York City of the late '60s/early '70s, featuring Jesus Christ as a wandering minstrel dressed like a circus clown.  By blowing on an instrument that reaches only the ears of a select few around the bustling city, John the Baptist summons nine simpatico hippies to a fountain in Central Park, where they revel in the waters of their baptism.  When Christ joins the group, the free-flowing fraternal love solidifies into a desire to spread the word of God around the city.  Outfitting themselves in a nearby junkyard that bursts with color, the lively group makes its way around a sparsley populated fairy-tale version of the city, re-enacting Biblical parables with great enthusiasm and flamboyance.  Opting for a ligher, yet more devout approach than its thematically similar Jesus Christ Superstar, Godspell features an equivalent number of hummable hit songs notably "Prepare Ye (The Way of the Lord)," "By My Side," and "Day by Day."
