Mauritius
By Theresa Rebeck
Directed by Mark Krikstan

Danger, betrayal, deceit and unimaginable wealth—stamp collecting is far more risky than you think. After their mother's death, two estranged half-sisters discover a book of rare stamps, but when three seedy, high-stakes collectors enter the sisters' world, no one seems to be certain of the truth. In Theresa Rebeck’s twisting thriller, things are not always as they appear.

Holiday

By Philip Barry
Directed by Dawn McAndrews
Written just before the stock market crash of 1929, Holiday follows the whirlwind romance of Johnny Case and Julia Seton, eldest daughter of a prominent New York family. When Johnny announces he wants to “retire early and work late” sparks fly, igniting younger sister, Linda, who longs to break out and pursue a dream of her own. Barry’s sophisticated comedy elegantly explores the clash of love and money, eerily preceding the financial doom that will force millions to examine their greed and humanity.

The Mousetrap
By Agatha Christie
Directed by Jessica Lefkow
A charming couple opening a new guesthouse, an array of whimsical guests, in the brink of a terrible blizzard, a murder is committed. Once a radio play commissioned by the Queen, now the longest running full length play in London, Agatha Christie’s playremains the crown jewel of the murder mystery genre. See if you can discover the murderer before another innocent victim dies in The Mousetrap, where everyone is a suspect and no can be trusted.

Fuddy Meers

By David Lindsay-Abaire
Directed by Lee Mikeska-Gardner
Everything seems fuzzy in Pulitzer Prize winning playwright, David Lindsay-Abaire’s dark comedy about family, memory, and the futility of communication. Amnesiac, Claire awakens each morning as a blank slate on which her husband and teenage son dutifully imprint the facts of her life. When Claire is abducted by a limping man in a ski mask claiming her husband wants to kill her, the threads of her life story unravel. When you can’t remember anybody where do you go for answers? Claire pieces together the mystery with the help of a dirty puppet, an ex-criminal and a fake cop, taking control of her life and wiping the slate clean.
