Synopsis
Playwright and provocateur Neil LaBute's newest play takes off from George Bernard Shaw's quote: "All truths begin as blasphemies." And then we meet John Smith. He's a selfish, philandering liar - or at least he was. After hearing the voice of God during a tragic office shooting, this imperfect man reforms himself and goes on a mission to spread the word about a better way of life. But is Joe's divine encounter merely a ploy for celebrity, a chance to escape his rocky past, or is it part of an infinite and almighty plan? In The Break of Noon, LaBute explores the trials and tribulations of a modern day prophet - and what he signifies in a jaded world that is thousands of years removed from burning bushes and stone tablets.

Synopsis
Jon and Leslie (both men) have been roommates for years. To save money, Jon has filed tax returns listing the pair as married, with Leslie as his wife. Too bad the I.R.S. informs the "couple" they're going to be investigated by their agent, Mr. Spinner!
Jon convinces his fiance Kate to help Leslie play along as his wife, and things unravel from there...
Kate is a little too close to Leslie, the landlord doesn't approve of unwed couples living together, Jon's mother drops in to meet his fiance, and Leslie's ex-girlfriend demands to know why he won't see her!

Synopsis
Richard Brinsley Sheridan's 18th Century masterpiece is a sparkling comedy of manners that made its debut in 1777 - but its comic look at human frailty and hypocrisy is as relevant today as it was then. Brimming with witty dialogue, mistaken identities, supposed infidelity, eavesdropping and scandal, both real and invented, The School For Scandal is a delightful, madcap and maliciously catty romp. After all, slander and gossip never go out of style.
