A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM
Book by Burt Shevelove and Larry Gelbart. Music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
NOVEMBER 5 – 21, 2021
Broadway's greatest farce is light, fast-paced, witty, irreverent, and one of the funniest musicals ever written! “Forum” takes comedy back to its roots, by combining situations from time-tested, 2000-year-old Roman comedies, with the infectious energy of classic vaudeville and the music and lyrics of Stephen Sondheim. This non-stop laugh-fest features crazy plot twists and turns, with cases of mistaken identity, slamming doors and a showgirl or two! It’s "something for everyone, a comedy tonight!"
“A Funny Thing…Forum” is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.mtishows.com
BAREFOOT IN THE PARK
By Neil Simon
JANUARY 14 – 30, 2022
Barefoot in the Park is one of Neil Simon’s most beloved comedies. It tells the story of newlyweds Corie and Paul, who are over the moon to begin their life together in Manhattan. When they return from their honeymoon, they get a surprise visit from Corie's mother and decide to play matchmaker during a dinner with their kooky neighbor, where everything that can go wrong - does! A wild night ensues, and the young couple must learn how to accept and embrace their differences as they learn that marriage is no easy walk in the park.
“Barefoot in the Park” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com

PUFFS
or Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic & Magic
written by Matt Cox
APRIL 1 - 17, 2022
Puffs is a play for anyone who ever felt like they weren’t the hero in their own story. It takes a look at a rather popular boy-wizard’s story from the perspective of some of the less fortunate students who happened to join him for seven years of education. Follow the story of a young wizard named Wayne and the Puffs–a group of well-meaning, loyal rejects with a thing for badgers! Chock full of 90s references, Puffs celebrates the glory of the decade, from NSync to Spice Girls to Free Willy! Filled with hilarity, the play also touches on personal identity, relationships, and what it means to feel insignificant in the world (and there may even be a few tears shed by the end!) Get out your wands and grab your tickets for MET’s take on the hit Off-Broadway show!
“Puffs (Two Act Edition)” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc.

and some songs with STIG ANDERSON. Book by CATHERINE JOHNSON
MAY 20 – JUNE 5, 2022
ABBA’s hits tell the hilarious story of a young woman’s search for her birth father. This sunny and funny tale unfolds on a Greek island paradise. On the eve of her
wedding, a daughter’s quest to discover the identity of her father brings three men from her mother’s past back to the island they last visited 20 years ago. The story-telling magic of ABBA’s timeless songs propels this enchanting tale of love, laughter and friendship, creating an unforgettable show. A mother. A daughter. Three possible dads. And a trip down the aisle you’ll never forget!
