Other People's Money             July 2-11
By Jerry Sterner
Directed by Keith Langsdale

Part drama, part romantic comedy, OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY premiered in 1989 when Wall Street's bull market and corporate greed was in full flower. Twenty years later we're all kind of scratching our heads as to why we didn't learn more from those times. Winner of the Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Off Broadway Play, Sterner's themes are timeless and almost prophetic. Meet Larry the Liquidator, a Wall Street takeover artist who's got his eyes on the struggling New England Wire & Cable company. The company's founder brings in a hot young lawyer to fend off Larry. What ensues is a true "David and Goliath" story of Wall Street versus Mainstreet. N.Y. Magazine calls OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY "Funny, serious, suspenseful, involving, disturbing, and, above all, expertly crafted....[with] both epic grandeur and intimate titillation."

All Lane and Charles want is a clean house but they end up with much more than they bargain for when they hire Matilde.

This whimsical and wondrous comedy was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in 2005 and received the prestigious Susan Smith Blackurn Prize.  It is an exuberant, funny, and deeply moving play unlike anything you have ever seen.

Arcadia             July 30-August 8
By Tom Stoppard
Directed by Sam Rush

When it opened in 1995 THE NEW YORK TIMES dubbed ARCADIA "The richest, most ravishing comedy to date." Fourteen years later Stoppard's play has aged beautifully, achieving an almost cult-like status among theatre lovers. It is, simultaneously, a comedy of manners set in England at the start of the 19th century and a present-day mystery of academia and historical research. The play is one part lesson in chaos theory and three parts laugh-out-loud comedy. Winner of the 1995 Drama Critic's Circle Award ARCADIA is a play so rich in thought, complexity and stunning connections, you'll want to see it more than once.

New York City, 1969. After 23 years of a somber and uneventful marriage, Barney Cashman is in the midst of a mid-life crisis.
