Forever Plaid

October 8, 2009 - March 28, 2010

Five years after they won your hearts at the CLO Cabaret, the boys are back by popular demand from the great beyond. Don't miss their hysterically nostalgic return as this 1950s all-male singing group is miraculously revived to fulfill their dreams and perform the show that they never got to when they were alive! Audiences will be rolling in the aisles and tapping their toes as "The Plaids" perform some of the 1950s greatest hits: "Catch a Falling Star," "Three Coins in the Fountain," "Love Is a Many Splendored Thing" and "Magic Moments."

Nunsense

April 8, 2010 - June 27, 2010

Sister Julia, Child of God, the convent cook, has accidentally poisoned 52 of her fellow sisters at the Little Sisters of Hoboken nunnery. Heartbroken and in dire need of funds to bury their last four dearly departed sisters, the five surviving "Little Hobos" take over the school auditorium to raise money showcasing their hysterically hidden talents. Featuring star turns, tap dancing nuns, an audience quiz and comic surprises, this is one talent show that is truly heaven sent! Winner of four Outer Critics Circle Awards including Best Off-Broadway Musical, Nunsense has become a must-see international phenomenon.
