RUMORS

By Neil Simon

October 17, 18, 19, 23, 24, 25, 26

As their tenth wedding anniversary party commences, Charley Brock, the Deputy Mayor of New York has just shot himself. Charley lies bleeding in another room, and his wife Myra is nowhere in sight. Though it's only a flesh wound, Charley’s self-inflicted injury sets off a series of events causing his guests to scramble to get “the story” straight before the authorities arrive. As the confusions and miscommunications mount, the evening spins off into classic farcical hilarity. We suggest PG13

Optimistic Personality Disorder

November 7th @ 7 PM


 

What do you get when you mix a stand-up comic, a master storyteller, and a woman who’s been through some things? You get Optimistic Personality Disorder — a hilariously healing one-woman show that proves laughter really is the best therapy (no co-pay required).


From cringe-worthy parenting moments to wildly inappropriate dating stories, Merit Kahn turns 50 years of life into a comedy cocktail of real talk, raw emotion, and razor-sharp wit.


You’ll laugh. You might cry. You’ll definitely leave feeling better about your own life.
It’s part stand-up, part theater, part TED Talk — all heart.
Grab your girlfriends, your grown-up kids, or come solo and meet your new favorite people.


Just don’t miss it!
