The Servant of Two Masters
by Carlo Goldoni
Directed by Mathew Green
Performance dates run from September 27–Oct. 7, 2018
Second Stage Theatre
“A modern mash-up between traditional Italian commedia del’arte and modern day sit-coms, this new version of Goldoni’s classic pits the madcap servant Truffaldino against masters, mistresses, lovers, lawyers and twenty-seven plates of fast food. Imagine a Bob Hope comedy written by Monty Python and performed with likes of Chaplin or Keaton.”
The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940
by John Bishop
Directed by Michael O'Brien
Performance dates run from November 8–18, 2018
Harold and Jean Miner Theatre
When their latest Broadway musical closes after the murder of three chorus girls, the writers and stars escape to Westchester to work on their next hit. Unfortunately, the murderer has followed them upstate! A comedy about murders, secret identities, and the Golden Age of Broadway, The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940 is a modern classic in the vein of Clue and Murder by Death.
