BOEING, BOEING

This 1960’s French farce adapted for the English-speaking stage features self-styled Parisian Lothario Bernard, who has Italian, German, and American fiancées, each a beautiful airline hostess with frequent “layovers.” He keeps “one up, one down, and one pending” until unexpected schedule changes bring all three to Paris, and Bernard’s apartment, at the same time.
Produced by special arrangement with Concord Theatricals.
DEAD MAN’S CELLPHONE
by Sarah Ruhl
Directed by Sarah Hanson
June 7 – 30, 2024
Fridays & Saturdays 8p/Sundays 2p
An incessantly ringing cell phone in a quiet cafe. A stranger at the next table who has had enough. And a dead man – with a lot of loose ends. So begins Dead Man’s Cell Phone, a wildly imaginative dramatic comedy Sarah Ruhl. A work about how we memorialize the dead – and how that remembering changes us.

AGATHA CHRISTIE’S
MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS
Adapted by Ken Ludwig
Directed by Lucy Stein
April 5 – 28, 2024
Fridays & Saturdays 8p/Sundays 2p
Just after midnight, a snowdrift stops the Orient Express in its tracks. The luxurious is surprisingly full for the time of the year, but by the morning it is one passenger fewer. An American tycoon lies dead in his compartment, stabbed eight times, his door locked form the inside. Isolated and with a killer in their midst, the passengers rely on Detective Hercule Poirot to identify the murderer – in case he or she decides to strike again.
