A perfect balance between comedy and tragedy, this coming-of-age
tale won Neil Simon a Pulitzer Prize and a Tony Award. Set above a
candy store in New York during World War II, the story tells of
two young brothers who come to live with their strict German
grandmother while their widowed father is away earning money to
pay off debts. In addition to their hard-as-steel grandmother, the
household the boys are thrust into include a lovable child-like
aunt longing to be free of her intimidating mother, a tough-talking
but small-time hoodlum uncle on the lam, and another aunt with a
psychological breathing problem. The boys face their disruption
with wit, pain and an understanding of human differences that go
into the making of a family as sweet and as hard as the candy they
sell downstairs.

In this companion to their hit revue "Starting Here, Starting Now,"
Richard Maltby, Jr. and David Shire follow up their earlier "songs of
innocence" with twenty-four funny, wise and witty "songs of
experience."
As with their earlier revue, each song in "Closer Than Ever" is a
story: an intimate, insightful tale about love, security, happiness,
and holding onto them in a world that pulls you in a hundred
directions at once. Maltby and Shire aging, mid-life crisis, second
marriages, and role reversals with parents, as well as wicked satirical
jabs at Muzak, working couples and unrequited love.
Directed by Paul Virag

NOTE: "Bells Are Ringing" has again been cancelled due to circumstances beyond our control.
In a remote house on the marshes live two women, an ex-actress
and her companion. One day the companion is visited by her two
slightly mad sisters. The actress finds them intolerable and
demands that they leave her home. The companion knows that if
her sisters leave they will be committed to an asylum, so she
secretly tells them they can stay. Servants are sent away by the
companion and townspeople are told the actress is on an
extended trip. But then the arrival of a relative, with his own
shadowy past, adds to the suspense when he begins to suspect
foul play. A contest of wills begins to play out with passionate
and dramatic results. This thriller is based upon a true story
from France in 1886.
