Take three delicious,
malicious wives, add three miserable, unloving husbands and chill.
That's the recipe of Michele Lowe's tantalizing new comedy that
had Broadway audiences cheering. The Smell of the Kill revolves around
Nicky, Debra and Molly who have tolerated one another during once-a-month
dinners for years. While their unseen spouses play golf in the dining
room, the women exchange confidences for the first time revealing that
all three marriages are on the brink of disaster and all three women are
facing the challenges of their lives.

Andy has a sweet Catholic mother,
a sour Catholic father and a severely retarded younger brother named Mickey.
When he brings his Jewish atheist fiancé to meet the folks on Christmas Eve, his
worst fears about family blow ups are realized. But Mickey, whose entire
vocabulary is "oh boy" and "wow," suddenly says "Greetings!" An ancient, wise
and witty spirit who is set upon healing the family has borrowed Mickey's body.
Though a play for all seasons, Greetings! is ideal for groups wanting something
special to put on at Christmas/Hanukkah time.
A quartet of black women spanning
four generations makes up this heartwarming dramatic comedy. The four, plus a white woman, friend of the youngest, come together to celebrate
the matriarch's ninetieth birthday. It's a wild party, one that is a lovable
lunatic glance at the exhilarating challenge of growing old amidst the
exasperating trials of growing up.
In roles originated
by Uta Hagen and David Hyde Pierce, this two-character comedy opens as a aging
but still formidable woman hires an acerbic dance instructor to give her lessons
in St. Petersburg Beach, Florida. Antagonism between a gay man and the widow of
a Southern Baptist minister gives way to profound compatibility as they swing
dance, tango, foxtrot and cha-cha while sharing more than dance steps. During
the sixth and final lesson, she reveals a closely guarded secret-she is
terminally ill-and he shares his greatest gifts-loyalty and compassion. As
Michael takes Lily in his arms on the final meeting, they both transcend fear
and mortality while the sun sets on their last dance.
