ART
by Yasmina Reza
Winner of the 1998 Tony Award for Best Play
Winner of the 1996 Olivier Award for Best Comedy

How much would you pay for a white painting? Would it matter who the painter was? Would it be art? Three old friends square off over a painting that one of them has bought, using it as an excuse to relentlessly batter one another over
various failures. As their arguments become less theoretical and more personal, they border on destroying their friendships.

“. . .wildly funny, naughtily provocative. . .”
- The New York Post

“. . .a nonstop cross-fire of crackling language, serious issues of life and art are expressed in outbursts that sound like Don Rickles with a degree from the Sorbonne. . .Reza is a fiendishly clever writer. . .ART sounds like a marriage of
Moliere and Woody Allen. . .”
- Newsweek

Nuncrackers
A musical comedy by Dan Goggin
Event Sponsor: Bethart Printing Solutions

This holiday favorite takes up where the award-winning musical Nunsense left off. It tells the story of a holiday TV special being taped in the basement of a convent for a local cable access channel. Hilarious antics follow as the cast and members of the convent learn the true meaning of Christmas.

“Nuncrackers” is immensely entertaining. It doesn’t get any better!”

“This is a must see for anyone who can’t suppress a giggle.”

I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change
Book and lyrics by Joe DiPietro
Music by Jimmy Roberts

This celebration of the mating game takes on the truths and myths behind that contemporary conundrum known as “the relationship.” Act I explores the journey from dating and waiting, to love and marriage, while Act II reveals the agonies
and triumphs of in-laws and newborns, trips in the family car, and pick-up techniques of the geriatric set. This hilarious revue pays tribute to those who have loved and lost, to those who have fallen on their face at the portal of romance,
to those who have dared to ask, “Say, what are you doing Saturday night?”

“. . .unadulterated fun. . . downright adorable!”
- Boston Globe

“It’s funny, it’s witty! Hip antics in the age of safe sex!”

Queen of Bingo
by Jeanne Michaels and Phyllis Murphy
Event Sponsor: Judge John and Shirley Moser

Where can two sisters on the other side of 50, who want to add a little zest, fun, and excitement to their lives, find it? Bingo! On any Bingo night at St. Joseph’s you can find Father Mac, Lonnie and Cindy Conklin, Marge Meranski, Coach Andersen, and themany other off-beat, colorful regulars who we meet through the eyes of Sis and Babe. They dish the dirt, giggle like school girls, and share old memories. On this particular night Babe and Sis share something new.
They each confess a secret and find a kind of redemption.

“. . .a 90-minute charmer.”
