Bad Dates

By Theresa Rebeck

This wildly popular comedy about a single mother's search for love, which involves the Romanian mob, a Buddhist rainstorm, 600 pairs of shoes, and, of course, some very, very bad dates, is a feel-good charmer.

"...a poignant slice of urban life that also happens to be drop-dead funny" - The Wall Street Journal.

"Old style comedy: fast and furious." - The Wall Street Journal

"One of [Simon's] funniest...Comedy, comedy all the way." - Newsweek

By David Rambo

Faith and egos collide in this comedy that pits preacher against preacher.

No Way to Treat a Lady

by Douglas Cohen

A theatrically charged musical comedy thriller about a publicity crazed actor turned killer and the endearing detective who pursues him. A devilish blend of humor, romance and murder: the killer adopts a myriad of disguises including a tango instructor, French waiter, female barfly and priest.

"Terrific! Hilarious! Dynamic! An unabashedly histrionic romp with plenty of laughs, a fair share of romance and a welcome abundance of drollery." - The Los Angeles Times

One Slight Hitch

by comedian Lewis Black

It's Courtney's wedding day, and her mom, Delia, is making sure that everything is perfect. The groom is perfect, the dress is perfect, and the decorations (assuming they arrive) will be perfect. Then, like in any good farce the doorbell rings. And all hell breaks loose. So much for perfect.

Rapture, Blister, Burn

by Gina Gionfriddo

Hailed as a "genius" by Variety, playwright Gina Gionfriddo's latest comedy tackles feminism’s foibles in what The New York Times called an, "intensely smart and immensely funny," new play. Three generations of women share their raucous and refreshing approaches to navigating work, love and family. This new comedy takes a sharp look at how women, and men, find happiness and conquer disappointment.
