Fuddy Meers
- by David Lindsay-Abaire
- August 3-20
- Directed by David Smith-English
Fuddy Meers is a wild ride with Claire, a "memory -challenged" woman and her alleged family. Kidnapped by one husband and pursued by another, Claire cheerfully seeks the truth. There's the all-too-good husband, a mysterious limping, lisping, half-blind stranger, the pot-smoking son, an ex-con with a foul-mouthed puppet, a stroke victim who can only speak gibberish and a tough woman who may, or may not be a cop. Fuddy Meers is a roller coaster ride through the day of an amnesiac trying to decipher her fractured life, while being surrounded by alarmingly bizarre characters.

Moon Over Buffalo
- By Ken Ludwig
- Directed by David Smith-English
- July 21 -- August 7
"Hilarious . . . Ludwig stuffs his play with comic invention, running gags . . . and a neat sense of absurdity."--N.Y. Post
Moon Over Buffalo, set in 1953, follows the antics of George and Charlotte Hay, two aging actors with a second-rate acting company. When they think Frank Capra will be attending the matinee, all mayhem breaks loose and everything in the world that could go wrong, does--and much, much more! This fast-paced, door-slamming farce by the author of Lend Me a Tenor, brought Carol Burnett back to Broadway!
