GREASE
Musical Comedy
June 8 – 18
Book, music and lyrics by
Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey
Dust off your leather jackets, pull on your bobby-socks and take a trip to a simpler time as Danny and Sandy fall in love all over again.
It’s the original high-school musical, featuring all the unforgettable songs from the hit movie including “You’re The One That I Want,” “Grease Is The Word,” “Summer Nights,” “Hopelessly Devoted To You,” “Greased Lightnin’,” and many more.
Head “greaser” Danny Zuko and new (good) girl Sandy Dumbrowski try to relive the high romance of their “Summer Nights” as the rest of the gang sings and dances its way through such songs as “It’s Raining on Prom Night,” and “Alone at the Drive-In Movie.”

GOD OF CARNAGE
Comedy
July 20 – 30
Written by Yasmina Reza
Translated by Christopher Hampton
What happens when two sets of parent’s meet up to deal with the unruly behavior of their children? A calm and rational debate between grown-ups about the need to teach kids how to behave properly? Or a hysterical night of name-calling, tantrums and tears before bedtime?
Winner of the 2009 Tony Award! “A streamlined anatomy of the human animal…delivers the cathartic release of watching other people’s marriages go boom. A study in the tension between civilized surface and savage instinct, this play is itself a satisfyingly primitive entertainment.” —NY Times.
