Performance dates: May 4 - May 22, 2011

The Show: Book by Norman Panama and Melvin Frank; Based on Characters Created by Al Capp;
Original Direction and Choreography by Michael Kidd; Lyrics by Johnny Mercer; Music by Gene de Paul
Al Capp's world famous characters have been placed in an upbeat musical extravaganza. It is a satisfying mixture of down-home nonsense and sharp, critical humor that appeals to the sophisticated theatregoer as well as the child within us all. The great songs include: "I'm Past My Prime", "The Country's In The Very Best of Hands", and the hilarious, "Jubilation T. Cornpone"!
Tim Perrino, Director; Brian Hoffman, Music Director; Emily Brinkman, Choreographer

GOD'S FAVORITE

The Show: By Neil Simon
Successful Long Island businessman Joe Benjamin is a modern-day 'Job' with a high-maintenance wife, ungrateful children and wise-cracking household help. Just when it seems things couldn't get any worse, he is visited by Sidney Lipton aka A Messenger from God (and compulsive film buff) with a mission: test Joe's faith and report back to "the Boss". The jokes and Tests of Faith fly fast and furious as Neil Simon spins a contemporary morality tale like no other in this hilarious comedy.
Bob Brunner, Director
