Sugar Plum Fairy

by Sandra Tsing Log

The Madwoman in the Volvo is back-and Scrooge isn't the only one bitter about the holidays!

Show times: Tuesday-Sunday evenings at 7:45 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday matinees at 2 p.m.

Shakespeare in Love

music by Paddy Cunneen

directed by Marc Masterson

Young Will Shakespeare is desperate. He has writer's block and owes two demanding producers a new comedy-a half-baked mess titled Romeo and Ethel, the Pirate's Daughter. Enter his inspiration: Viola. Smart, beautiful and Will's greatest admirer, she will stop at nothing-including breaking the law-to be in his play. As their love blossoms, so does his greatest masterpiece.

Showtimes: Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday at 7:30 p.m.; Friday, Saturday at 8 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday at 2:30 p.m.
