Blithe Spirit
Featuring Wendy Lehr as Madame Arcati
by Noel Coward

February 12 - March 28
When English novelist Charles Condomine hires an eccentric medium to perform a séance at his house party in order to gather material for his next book, she winds up accidentally summoning the ghost of his first wife, Elvira, who is out to seek revenge on Charles and his new wife, Ruth.

Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
By Edward Albee
April 23 - May 30

When George, a disillusioned academic, and Martha, his caustic wife, invite a handsome young
professor and his mousy wife home for a nightcap, an innocent night of fun and games quickly turns dark and dangerous. Long-buried resentments are unleashed as George and Martha turn their razor-sharp wits against each other, using their guests as pawns in their verbal sparring. Winner of the Tony®Award for Best Play, and considered by many to be Albee's masterpiece. Bain Boehlke directs a stellar cast in an electrifying Jungle production.

By Charles Ludlam June 18 - August 1

A sympathetic werewolf, a vampire and an Egyptian princess brought to life when her tomb is opened make this a comedy that has everything!

Joel Sass (Hedwig and the Angry Inch) directs this high-camp classic.

The Glass Menagerie
By Tennesse Williams September 10-October 17

In a rundown apartment in a St. Louis ghetto, erstwhile Southern belle Amanda Wingfield, her
painfully shy daughter, Laura, and her aspiring writer son, Tom, form a triangle of quiet desperation. Amanda, an overbearing single mother, lives on memories of her glorious flower-scented youth, while her children bear the weight of her unrealistic dreams for their future. But when a gentleman caller offers false hope to the family, their precarious world shatters with haunting results.

Fully Committed
Starring Nathan Keepers
By Becky Mode November 5 - December 19

The spectacular Nathan Keepers returns to the Jungle in this devastatingly funny play about a day in the life of Sam Peliczowski, an out-of-work actor who mans the red-hot reservation line at
Manhattan's number-one restaurant. While juggling scheming socialites, name-dropping wannabes,
fickle celebrities and egomaniacal bosses, can Sam manage to make it home for the holidays?
