Leader of the Pack (December 6 - 9, 2007)
Journey back to a time when life was simple and the bee-hive hairdo
was all the rage, a time when rock and roll was still at its beginning.
This is the story of songwriter Ellie Greenwich, one of the most successful
songwriters of this era, whose songs earned 25 gold and platinum records,
thanks to hits such as "Chapel of Love," "Da Doo Ron Ron," "Be My Baby"
and... "Leader of the Pack." This musical revue offers a chance to remember
the songs made popular by groups like The Shangri-Las, The Ronettes and The
Shirelles. Whether you grew up in the '60s or were only born 20 years ago,
you know these songs.
Plaza Suite (February 14 - 17, 2008)
Neil Simon's Plaza Suite is actually three different stories. The singular
constant is the hotel room, which serves as the backdrop for all three
storylines. Although vastly different, all share the theme of love, with
all of its complexities and poignancies, which will make you, laugh, cry,
sigh and mostly... glad it isn't happening to you. The Plaza represents
success, wealth, and status. Staying there can make you feel like a hero
when you really feel like a bum.

an upper class boy whose life she saves after a car crash. Central to the

of Love, Earth, Water, and Death cause the lives of the young lovers to
intersect, and send Ti Moune on the fateful journey that tests the strength
of her love.
