The Bliss family is ultra Bohemian. Mother is a retired actress who makes a crisis out of every scene and father is a novelist. The daughter and son are handsome and ill mannered. One weekend all announce they are expecting a guest: mother has invited an athletic youth who is in love with her, Sorel a diplomat, Simon an intense young woman and David a flapper (a type he is studying for a novel). The guests receive an unusual and rude reception. Soon mother is paired off with the diplomat, Sorel with the athlete, Simon with the flapper, and father with his son's young woman. Dramatizing for all it is worth, Judith first fears she must tell her husband about her romance, then realizes her daughter is younger and more attractive to young men so she enacts a scene of noble sacrifice, and, noticing her husband's flirtation, she follows with a poor unhappy wife scene. The family is used to such displays, but the guests are bewildered.

"An evening of intoxicating escape." —N.Y. Times

"Light, luminous, and charming... and hilariously funny." —N.Y. Post

Announcing Our 2010 Season

On the Main Stage:

Lend Me A Tenor by Ken Ludwig
A sensation on Broadway and in London’s West End this madcap, screwball comedy is guaranteed to leave audiences teary-eyed with laughter.
 
“One of two great farces by a living writer.” —The New York Times

“A furiously-paced comedy with more than a touch of the Marx brothers… A marvelous combination of wonderfully farcical moments and funny lines.” —Time Out

January 8 - 24

Dinner With Friends by Donald Margulies
Full of humor, warmth, insight and wisdom, Dinner With Friends is a funny yet bittersweet examination of the married lives of two couples who have been extremely close for dozens of years. Margulies keeps changing the perspective to show how one couple’s breakup can have an equally devastating effect on another’s stability.
 
Dinner With Friends is entertaiment as succulent as it is sobering.” —New York Magazine

April 2 - 18

Deathtrap by Ira Levin
Filled with startling twists, turns and reversals, the characters of Deathtrap struggle with greed, plagiarism, blackmail and murder. The play will shock and delight by the playwright’s clever dramatic manipulations.  

“Two-thirds a thriller and one-third a devilishly clever comedy… Suspend your disbelief and be delighted. Scream a little. It’s good for you.” —Cue Magazine

June 11 - 27

Hay Fever by Noel Coward
The Bliss family is ultra Bohemian. Mother is a retired actress who makes a crisis out of every scene and father is a novelist. The daughter and son are handsome and ill mannered. When each invites a guest for the weekend, the family amuses themselves in their normal eccentric manner, much to the consternation of the bewildered guests!

“An evening of intoxicating escape” —N.Y. Times

“Light, luminous, charming... and hilariously funny.” —N.Y. Post

September 10- 26

A Nice Family Gathering by Phil Olson
A Nice Family Gathering is a story about a man who loved his wife so much, he almost told her. It’s Thanksgiving—the first family gathering since the Patriarch died. Dad comes back as a ghost with a mission; to tell his wife he loved her, something he neglected to tell her during their 41 years of marriage. Mom can’t hear or see him but the trouble really begins when her dinner date arrives!

“Hilarious and touching!” —LA Weekly Pick of the Week
