Neil Simon’s The Odd Couple
February 6 – 25, 2007
“Neil Simon at his very, very best.” – NYTheatre.com 
Obsessive neatnik. Disheveled slob. Probably not the ideal pairing of roommates — unless the matchmaker is the irresistibly clever Neil Simon. Those loveable New York bachelors, Felix Unger and Oscar Madison, are back slinging zingers and rapid-fire one-liners in this hilarious Tony Award-winning play by Broadway’s king of comedy. Both recently thrown out of marriages and sharing an apartment, the two friends quickly begin to get on each others nerves and that of their poker-playing pals. Oscar, a fun-loving sportswriter, revels in his sloppiness. To him, a ketchup stain on a white shirt is a mark of distinction. Felix, on the other hand, is a finicky photographer obsessed with purifying the air and removing every speck of dust from Oscar’s eight-room apartment. But despite their quirky habits and dissimilar lifestyles, their friendship endures. Simon’s most celebrated comedy, The Odd Couple will have you howling out of the theater!
Fiddler on the Roof
April 25 - May 27, 2007
“One of the great works of American musical theatre.” – Daily News 
Tevye … he is like a fiddler on a roof, teetering between a deep respect for tradition and an unconditional love for his daughters, he struggles to hold on to his beliefs in the face of changing social mores and tumultuous times. The story of this Jewish dairyman eking out a living in a little Russian village at the turn of the century, has touched audiences around the world with its humor, warmth and honesty. Winner of nine Tony Awards, including Best Musical, this classic of American theater radiates with such rousing musical numbers as “Tradition,” “Matchmaker,” “If I Were a Rich Man” and “Sunrise, Sunset.” You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll be on your feet dancing with your arms raised high. La Chaim!
A Chorus Line
June 19 – July 29, 2007
“Innovative, sensationally successful …the kind of coup de theatre that seems to have been created in a single burst of breathtaking inspiration.” — The New York Times 
One of America’s longest-running musicals, that singular sensation that swept away audiences with its poignant portrayal of a chorus audition, remains a marvel of musical theater. Deftly mixing showbiz razzmatazz with compelling true-to-life drama, this landmark show garnered nine Tonys, five Drama Desk Awards and a Pulitzer Prize for drama, one of the few musicals ever to receive this honor. Its memorable score, written by Marvin Hamlisch and Edward Kleban, is packed with stunning production numbers like “One (Singular Sensation),” “Dance: Ten; Looks: Three” and “What I Did for Love.” Set in a New York theater, the curtain rises to find a stage full of young hopefuls dancing “The Opening” combination. Soon 16 dancers are left to vie for eight spots on the chorus line. Relive the unrelenting enthusiasm and the dogged determination of those unsung heroes of musical theater —the chorus dancers.
