Hang on to your seats and don’t forget to duck the flying pasta. This comic masterpiece is set in a dockside ristorante in Naples, and begins with a song made up from the menu. Two friends, whose fathers’ threaten their natural love by arranging their marriages, turn to Scapino, a wily servant, to fix the dire situation. An extraordinary production, it received rave reviews from every critic on Broadway! Chases, word play, mistaken identities and, of course, a happy ending make this play a rip-roaring good time!

“A wonderful new work…of serious whimsy, of glittering style and dark substance…THE VIOLET HOUR balances heights of wit with depths of feeling.” —NY Times. “May just be Greenberg’s finest…The play is continually amusing, but also deeply touching.” —Variety. “Richard Greenberg’s luminous, mysterious, emotionally churning tragicomedy, THE VIOLET HOUR, is a wondrous piece of work…This is the kind of bewitching play that makes theater a world unto itself.” —Chicago Sun-Times.

THE ROBBER BRIDEGROOM is a funny, rowdy, sexy musical adaptation of Eudora Welty's famous novel set in Natchez, Mississippi, about a "gentleman robber," the girl he wants, the greedy, sex-crazed stepmother who wants to seduce him and kill her, the idiot thieves who mistakenly kidnap the stepmother, and lots more zaniness, all set to an infectious Broadway/bluegrass hybrid of a score.

Sam Shepard's A LIE OF THE MIND is a brilliant theatrical rendering, a play of enormous emotional power and intellectual strength." —The Hollywood Reporter.
