This refreshingly literate comedy is concerned with the hilarious lengths gone to by a brilliant (but broke) scientist to land a much-needed job with a large corporation. What seems to be starting out as a shopworn target—individuality versus conformity—turns out to be an ingeniously conceived comical discussion of honesty and truth.
“…a cheerfully venomous comedy about the mysterious monster called the Corporate Image.”

In this hilarious comedy by the author of Lend Me A Tenor and Moon Over Buffalo, two English Shakespearean actors, Jack and Leo, find themselves so down on their luck that they are performing “Scenes from Shakespeare” on the Moose Lodge circuit in the Amish country of Pennsylvania. When they hear that an old lady in York, PA, is about to die and leave her fortune to her two long-lost English nephews, they resolve to pass themselves off as her beloved relatives and get the cash. The trouble is, when they get to York, they find out that the relatives aren’t nephews, but nieces! Romantic entanglements abound, especially when Leo falls head-over-petticoat in love with the old lady’s vivacious niece, Meg, who’s engaged to the local minister. Meg knows that there’s a wide world out there, but it’s not until she meets “Maxine and Stephanie” that she finally gets a taste of it.

Jack Goldberg loves movies. He loves them so much he can’t keep a job and still lives with his parents. His mother forces him to see “The Shrink To The Stars” whose idea of therapy is to have Jack play the leading man in his own romantic comedy. Things spiral out of control with an over-the-top director, his crazy family, his best friend Samantha, and the romantic interest—the beautiful, but engaged Maggie, whom Jack has fallen head over heels in love with. Through a script that combines humor and heart, laughter and love, the audience is treated to a romantic comedy for the stage that will leave everyone feeling wonderful.

Brooklyn Boy is a witty and insightful look at what happens to a writer when his novel hits the best-seller list. Eric Weiss is suddenly famous, but his personal life is unraveling. His wife is out the door, his father is in the hospital, and his aunt tells him he should have worn a tie on the “Today” show! Then Hollywood beckons, and it looks like all that glitters really could be gold. But Eric has a lot to learn in this funny and emotionally rich look at family, friends and fame.

Real estate broker Susan Strathcona wants to hold an open house, sell a condo and earn her commission. Frustrating her attempts are the owner’s fiancé who is bursting to prove his masculinity; the little old sexpot next door with her deadly herbs and a scorpion named “Shirley”; the international police on the trail of the mysterious “Phantom” and a rival real estate agent who will don any disguise in his attempts to steal the listing. Oh, yes. And the owner—is dead and laid out on the sofa! An uproariously funny farce.
