"Brooklyn Boy"
Wednesday, March 24, 2 p.m. – By Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Donald Margulies. Can we ever go home… and do we want to? Eric Weiss has finally made it big with a best seller and a shot at a Hollywood film. An inconvenient phone call brings him back to the Brooklyn neighborhood he grew up in and happily left behind. Witty and deeply touching, this story of growing up, coming home and making sense of it all is sure to warm your heart. A regional premiere. Runs March 19-April 17, previews March 17 and 18.

"Charley's Aunt"
Wednesday, May 26, 2 p.m. – By Brandon Thomas. By George! This is splendid! A quiet afternoon luncheon turns into a hilarious masquerade when college chums attempt to woo a pair of charming young ladies. After persuading a classmate to impersonate their missing aunt (and chaperone), mischief, high jinks and shenanigans ensue. This hilarious classic has been delighting audiences for over 100 years. Runs May 14-June 12, previews May 12 and 13.
