A young bride of a few weeks, living above a bank with her husband who is the assistant manager, innocently sends a mail order off for some Scandinavian glassware.  What arrives is Scandinavian porn.  What to do with the floods of photos, books, films, and finally, girls, is complicated by the arrivals of the husband’s mother, his boss, a bank inspector, a police superintendant and a muddled friend.  Many doors open, close and slam in this titillating farce in the best tradition of sexual onslaught and mischevious fun.

Travels With My Aunt
By Giles Havergal from the novel by Graham Green
 
When teenager Ren and his mom relocate from Chicago to a small rural town, he is not prepared for the rigorous local laws which include “NO DANCING.”  FOOTLOOSE  is propelled by the rockin’ rhythm of its Oscar nominated  Top 40 score, the Soundtrack album having hit #1 on the Billboard charts.  Absolutely exhilarating!

The Star Spangled Girl
By Neil Simon
 
In this hilarious comedy two English Shakesperean actors are so down on their luck that they are  performing “Scenes from Shakespeare” on the Moose Lodge circuit in the Pennsylvania Amish countryside. Hearing that an old lady in York, PA is about to die and leave her fortune to her two long lost English nephews, they resolve to pass themselves off as her beloved relatives and get the cash.  Arriving in York, they learn that the relatives are not nephews but nieces.  Jack and Leo thus become Maxine and Stephanie in the Ludwig highly combustible and continuously hilarious new comedy.

Leading Ladies
By Ken Ludwig
 
They’re Baaack!  It’s the Futrelle sisters, Frankie, Twink and Honey Ray.  It’s  Christmas time in Faro, Texas and Honey Raye is desperately trying  to keep the Tabernacle of the Lamb’s Christmas program going. The program and the Futrelles spin hilariously out of control as  sisters squabble and family secrets are revealed in the company of  a surly Santa, a vengeful sheep and a reluctant Elvis impersonator.  Good, clean, family insanity!

Christmas Belles
By Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope & Jamie Wouten
 
Based on the novel  The Man Who Broke the Bank at MonteCarlo, LUCKY STIFF is a musical farce in the best sense of the word.  The complicated hysterically funny plot involves one dead body, a nerdy English shoe salesman, six million bucks in diamonds, and a lot of  dogs. Irreverent, zany , madcap farce.
