"Love's Lonely Highway"
June 7 - June 30
Written by New Mexico Playwright Patricia Crespin
Directed by Maggz Gallegos
Do you believe in love at first sight? Well, Benito Gutierrez did, ever since he met the alluring but enigmatic Suzie on a lonely New Mexico highway while on his way to basic training. She was everything Benito was looking for in a woman. Polite, yet strong. Respectable, yet passionate. He swears to return to marry her after his training, but when he returns three months later, he finds Suzie’s mother and discovers that Suzie died years before he ever saw her. After seven long years in Vietnam, Benito finds himself back at the lonely highway where he meets Malakai, another victim of the Vietnam war, and a raging alcoholic but an intelligent man with a knack for poetry and philosophy. Benito also manages to befriend Suzie’s alcoholic mother, Viola, who has never recovered from losing her daughter. The three of them embark on a journey together, each one helping the other heal from their own private wounds and accept the harshness of life’s cruel game of poker, while discovering that love, equally agonizing, appears in the most peculiar places.

"Holiday For Lovers"
August 16 - September 8
Written by Ronald Alexander
Directed by: TBA
The carefree story of the Dean family—Father, Mother and twenty-year-old daughter, Betsy—from Minneapolis, who embark on their first European holiday, to soak up some old world charm and visit with a twenty-three-year-old daughter, Meg, who's been studying music abroad for three years. The situation becomes hysterical when they arrive in Paris, and the quick tempered Mr. Dean finds he doesn't speak enough French to make the elevator man understand he wants to get to the lobby. His wife discovers the fabulous fashions; Betsy encounters a handsome American painter—and love; and the plot complicates when beautiful Meg arrives with a charming, suave, French maestro who, Father is certain, has taken romantic advantage of his daughter. We follow the family to Spain, where Mr. Dean sees his first bullfight and is booed out of the stadium. We travel with them to Rome, where Mr. Dean learns to understand Europe—and his own family! The romance of the two girls in the atmosphere of Latin Europe supplies the chief involvement of the comedy.

"Love Diatribe"
October 25 - November 17
Written by Harry Kondoleon
Directed by: Chris Boros
Orin, a disenchanted librarian, arrives at his parents' home for dinner to find that his sister, Sandy, left her husband, moved back home and began an affair with Mike, the next-door neighbor, and an old childhood friend Orin used to taunt. Mrs. Anderson, Mike's mother, pops in and out of the action, constantly offering food and reminding Orin's family that she still blames them for her other son's death. Orin's parents, Gerry and Dennis, return home, having forgotten they invited Orin for dinner. With everyone together, crazy accusations, witty retorts and hilarious remembrances fill the scenes. Into this melee comes Frieda, a foreign exchange student destined for Mrs. Anderson's, but getting the wrong house. Underneath the farcical tone, the play is a provocative call to recognizing and using the healing power of love.

Four O. Henry Musical Cocktails
Short stories by O. Henry have never been so charmingly and hilariously staged. The Gift of the Magi, The Last Leaf, The Love Philtre of Ikey Schoenstein and The Marry Month of Mayare interlinked into a series of overlapping tales. Each is introduced with a mini overture of seasonal music. The finale, with all characters filling you in on what happened to them after their tales ended, is worth the price of admission. The characters are unforgettable, the dialogue is sparkling with wit, and the songs are sensational.
