Run For Your Wife
Taxi driver John Smith has two wives, Mary and Barbara. In a tireless effort to keep each wife from knowing about the other, John lives in two homes and stays with Mary in the mornings and with Barbara in the evenings. A strict adherence to this schedule enables John to maintain his idyllic double life. But when he is injured while stopping a mugging, helpful policemen return him to the right house at the wrong time. Or is it the wrong house at the right time? Either way, John's life will never be the same!. A farce written by Ray Cooney.

"A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM"
Pseudolus, a slave in ancient Rome, will do anything to win his freedom--including prying a young virgin from her protector and the great warrior to whom she is promised, because his young master has fallen in love with her from afar. Pseudolus lies, cheats, and bargains--nimbly and brilliantly--and wins the virgin for his master and freedom for himself. He is both helped and hindered along the way by a host of zany characters and unexpected twists.

- HOT MIKADO -
A sizzling musical full of explosive dance,cool jazz, rousing gospel and 40's swing!
HOT MIKADO is the story of young rock crooner Nanki-Poo and his quest to marry Yum-Yum, a doo-wah singer. Nanki-Poo comes to the burg of Titipu not only for sweet Yum-Yum but also to escape marrying a fearsome - and very unattractive - torch singer. His troubles are far from over as poor Nanki-Poo finds that Yum-Yum must marry The Lord High Executioner and that he has to dodge the executioner's blade. When The Mikado (ruler of all Japan) comes on the scene, the stakes get even higher.
Based on Gilbert and Sullivan's comic masterpiece, "The Mikado", HOT MIKADO sizzles with zoot suit flash while remaining just a jitterbug away from the original.
Bowman and Bell have created a new version of the Japanese satire that relocates it to the American jazz age era of the late thirties and early forties. "Giving it a jazz/swing/blues base warms up the material and makes it American- it heats it up in a way that you don't expect from Gilbert and Sullivan", says David Bell. Though entirely re-orchestrated, the score itself remains entirely intact.
