Woody Allen's "Honeymoon Motel" - Let's just say this wasn't what the groom had in mind - a hilarious farce reminiscent of "Room Service". Directed by Colin Johnson, who directed our fantastic "Noises Off" from 2012.
Elaine May's "George is Dead" - Doreen has just lost her husband. Carla may qualify as her only friend. But really she's just the daughter of Doreen's favorite nanny. Directed by Susannah Wood, most recently in "Fortinbras" and a woman of many talents.
Ethan Coen's "Talking Cure" - Larry is the patient, but thinks he's in charge. And his mother and father get a word in as well. Directed by Michael Cohen, who most recently directed our 2013 production of "Fortinbras" in John Hinkel Park.
