KING LEAR, Shakespeare's masterpiece, is one of the towering works of world literature.

When King Lear divides his kingdom among his three daughters, he sets in motion a cascade of violence that sweeps the civilized world to the brink of chaos, and Lear to the edge of madness. Featuring Academy Award nominee and Golden Globe and Emmy winner Sam Waterston in the title role.

Suffused with fancy and borne aloft on wild flights of poetic wit, LOVE'S LABOR'S LOST is one of the delights of the Shakespeare canon.

The King of France and his best buds swear off romance and withdraw into their studies...until some girls show up. As the young couples stumble their way toward love, the others in their circle -- a pedantic schoolmaster, a Spanish dandy, a streetwise con-man, and a cop with a few screws loose -- work through their own mad dilemmas. In the end, the real world intrudes and brings everyone back to earth, but not even a cold winter blast manages to chill the warmth of this beguiling play.

Cary Hoffman turns his celebrated PBS Special into a very true, hilarious, and poignant one man musical play about his love and idolization for his hero Frank Sinatra and the perils of wanting to become somebody else. He captivates the audience with his very personal journey of what it was like growing up fatherless with three musician uncles, who played on some of Sinatra’s greatest recordings, turning Sinatra into a fantasy father. Hoffman authentically sings just like his hero as he weaves in over 30 classic Sinatra songs, creating a musical score about his lifelong obsession.

 Brian Childers is "....magnificent as Danny Kaye. Childers makes you feel as if you're watching the real Mr. Kaye. Every gesture is perfect and he's mastered the mimicry and dialects that were such a great part of Kayes performances. It is no wonder that the Helen Hayes awards committee chose to honor Mr. Childers with "outstanding lead actor in a musical." - Washington Post

New York NY 10036

An ingenious tale of two Hollywood giants-- Orson Welles and Laurence Olivier, set in 1960 in a London West End theatre. Legendary critic Kenneth Tynan has made a startling proposal: Welles should direct Olivier and the young Joan Plowright in Rhinoceros, Ionesco's absurdist masterpiece. But it is the rehearsal process that brims with absurdity as titanic personalities, including Vivien Leigh, wrestle the muse in this witty and incisive depiction of the drama of theatre.
