A Comedy by by Paul Rudnick
Directed by Lisa Malloy
Andrew Rally has it all – celebrity; a rich, beautiful girlfriend; a glamorous, devoted agent; the perfect New York apartment; and the chance to play Hamlet in Central Park. There are, however, a couple of glitches in paradise. When Andrew’s agent visits him, she reminisces about her brief romance with John Barrymore many years ago, in Andrew’s apartment. This prompts a seance to summon his ghost. From the moment Barrymore returns, dressed in high Shakespearean garb, Andrew’s life is no longer his own. The laughs are nonstop as Andrew wrestles with his conscience, Barrymore, his sword, and his role as Hamlet in Central Park.

A Romantic Play by A. R. Gurney
Directed by David O’Hara
Andrew Makepeace Ladd III and Melissa Gardner, both born to wealth and position, are childhood friends whose lifelong correspondence begins with birthday party thank-you notes and summer camp postcards. Romantically attached, they continue to exchange letters through the years. Life takes them both in different directions but eventually, she and Andy do become involved in a brief affair, but it is too late for both of them. Andy’s final letter makes it eloquently clear how much they really meant and gave to each other over the years—physically apart but spiritually as close as only true lovers can be.
