This hilarious British farce of marital mix-up
by the author of Run for Your Wife gives
parliamentary procedure a whole new
meaning. A conservative government junior
minister plans an evening in a London hotel
with one of the opposition's typists. A
conniving waiter, suspicious hotel manager,
alert private detective, angry wife, furious
husband, bungling secretary, unconscious
nurse and a dead body ensure the evening
will not go as planned. (Adult themes)

Working
August 4*, 5, 6, 10**, 11, 12, 13
The hopes, dreams, joys and concerns of
the average working American inspire this
unique, eye-opening musical. A series of
portraits of “common” men and women
weave together to create a timely landscape
of workers from the assembly line to the
grocery store, from teachers and salesmen
to firemen and housewives. The result is
both surprising and inspiring. Created from
the book of real life interviews by Studs
Terkel it features a contemporary score by
Stephen Schwartz (Godspell, Wicked), Micki
Grant, James Taylor and others.
