New York and Regional Premiere!
We’re thrilled to begin the 2010-2011 season
with the New York premiere of The Agatha
Christie BBC Murders! The BBC Murders
comprises four lost Agatha Christie radio plays,
two of which have never been published: “Butter
in a Lordly Dish”, “Three Blind Mice” (a short
radio play on which The Mousetrap was
based), “Personal Call” and “Yellow Iris”. First
produced as individual BBC radio programs in
Great Britain decades ago, The Agatha
Christie BBC Murders had its theatrical
debut at the International Mystery Writers’
Festival in 2009, and an upcoming Broadway
production is currently planned as well. An
exciting, unique treat for all Christie fans!

November 4 – 28
One of Off-Broadway’s longest running
musicals of all time, this celebration of
courtship takes on the truths and myths behind
that contemporary conundrum know as “the
relationship”. From the journey of dating,
waiting, love and marriage, to the agonies and
triumphs of in-laws and newborns, this tuneful
revue pays tribute to those who have loved and
lost, to those who have fallen on their face at
the portal of romance, to those who have dared
to ask, “What are you doing Saturday night?”. A
hugely popular hit musical from the author of
Over the River and Through the Woods.
NOTE: Adult Content.

January 27 – February 20
“The
funniest two hours of theatre I have seen in
several years…hilarious”—Syracuse
Post Standard.
Two cops. Three crooks. Eight doors. Go! In a
cheap motel room, an embezzling mayor is
supposed to meet with his female accountant,
while in the room next door, two undercover cops
wait to catch the meeting on videotape. But
there's some confusion as to who's in which
room, who's being videotaped, who's taken the
money, and why the accountant keeps taking off
her clothes. Add in a ruthless Scottish hit man
whose accent becomes thicker the angrier he
gets, and you have one of the zaniest and most
outrageous new farces in years!
NOTE:
Adult language and content.

“Gold-standard farce”—San
Francisco Chronicle.
Leipzig, Germany, 1722: Johann Kuhnau,
revered organist of the Thomaskirche, suddenly
dies, leaving his post vacant. The town council
invites musicians to audition for the coveted
position, among them young Johann Sebastian
Bach. In an age when musicians rely on patronage
from the nobility or the church to pursue their
art, the post at a prominent church in a
cultured city is a near guarantee of fame and
fortune—which is why some of the candidates are
willing to go to any lengths to secure it. A
fugue-like, often hilarious web of bribery,
blackmail, and betrayal!

“I can only
call it one of the most involving, beautiful,
funny, touching and profound plays I have ever
seen…”—NY Daily News.
When Greg and Kate move to Manhattan after
twenty-two years of child-raising in the
suburbs, Sylvia, a street-smart mixture of lab
and poodle, becomes a major bone of contention
between them. She offers Greg an escape from the
frustrations of his job and the unknowns of
middle age. To Kate, Sylvia becomes a rival for
affection. And Sylvia thinks Kate just doesn't
understand the relationship between man and dog.
A waggish comedy!
Note: Adult language.

“Outrageously funny”—The
New York Times.
“A
winning experience for everyone!”—USA
Today.
This Tony award-winning musical celebrates
six wacky misfits who, with steely ambition, are
trying to win the spelling bee championship of a
lifetime, overseen by adults who barely managed

spelling, because at each performance of
Spelling Bee, audience members have a chance
to volunteer to participate on stage. An
irresistibly entertaining musical comedy, one
that’s sure to please audiences of all ages!
