YEAR ZERO
by Michael Golamco
How do you move forward
in life when you’re stuck where you are? In Long Beach, CA, two young
Cambodian-Americans search for an answer. Vuthy is a lonely 16-year-old
who loves hip hop and Dungeons & Dragons. His ambitious older
sister is starting to veer from her steadfast path to higher education
and assimilation. With great humor and a modern sensibility, Year
Zero sensitively explores how to escape a painful past while
honoring the legacy of one’s own history. It’s a contemporary comedic
drama about reinvention, redemption, and finding where we belong.
[Contains Strong Language]
“A
very smart, sweet, honest and uncommonly moving new play. Michael
Golamco is a significant new dramatic voice.” – Chicago

SHOOTING STAR
by
Steven Dietz
Elena and Reed had a passionate love
affair when they were in college. It ended badly, and they haven’t seen
each other since. It’s now 25 years later, and they have an unexpected

cancelled. She is still a flower child. He is a buttoned-down corporate
executive. Is it ever too late for a second chance? Filled with
laughter and heartache, Shooting
Star is a bittersweet
romantic comedy about the middle days of our lives and how we got
there.
“‘Shooting Star’ is that
rare romantic comedy that is funny,

OLD WICKED SONGS
by Jon Marans
Stephen is a young, brilliant American pianist who has come
to Vienna with the hope of regaining his shattered confidence. His
teacher is a lonely, eccentric, elderly professor with a shadowy past.
As the glorious music of Robert Schumann floods the professor’s studio,
the past collides with the present, deep secrets are revealed, and the
men slowly discover they have more in common than just the music they
love. Nominated for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Old Wicked Songs travels
an emotional journey that weaves together profound sorrow, boundless
joy, and soaring inspiration. “
One of the best plays of the
year, a
fascinating exploration of art, guilt, compassion, and identity.” –

DAMES AT SEA
Book and lyrics by George Haimsohn and Robin Miller
Music by
Jim Wise
Small-town
girl Ruby arrives in the Big Apple with only her tap shoes, a prayer in
her heart, and a wish to become a Broadway star. She falls in love with
Dick, a sailor who just happens to be a songwriter. They can sing a
lovely duet – but can they save a Broadway musical when calamity
strikes? An affectionate spoof of the grand and glorious Busby Berkeley
movie musicals of the 1930s – with a cast of only 6 – Dames at Sea is
an all-singing, all-dancing, old-fashioned tap extravaganza that charms
and delights.
“A real winner! A little
gem of a musical.” –

As always, you may exchange
your tickets as many times as you need to, as long
as you
call us by 1/2 hour before your scheduled performance. You may request
a change by phone, email or FAX. Changing your
date, however, will not guarantee the same seat assignment. We will
reassign
you the best seats available at the time of exchange. Exchanged tickets
will be picked up at Will Call.
If
I change my date, will
I need to mail back my original tickets?
No - Just throw them away.
How
will I
know where
I'm sitting?
When you send in your
subscription,
the best available seats will be assigned to you. Those will be your
seats
for every show in the season, as long as you attend on the dates you
are
assigned.
What
if we lose
our tickets?
Lost tickets are replaced
free of charge and will be held for pick-up at Will Call
What
if I want
to bring
guests?
If you know you will be
bringing
guests to most shows, you should purchase extra subscriptions (much
less
expensive than guest tickets), so you will always have the best
available
seats for you and your guests. If you don't use the tickets, they can
be
donated back to the theatre. Otherwise, you may order guest tickets at
any time (at a discount off of single ticket prices) and you may either
sit with them by giving up your season seats and letting us assign you
the next best seats available, or you may keep your season seats and we
will assign your guests the next best available seats for the same
performance.
What
if I miss my
date?
If you miss a show, you may
go to the box office one half-hour before another performance of the
same
play and exchange your unused ticket for any available seat.
If
I change my
date, do
I lose my seats?
Yes. If you change your
confirmed
date, we will assign you the next best available seats for your new
confirmed
date.
How
do I
make sure
I get seats next to my subscriber friends on the same date?
You'll need to send in your
subscriptions together in order to be guaranteed season seats together.
Since all seats are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, there
will be no way to put you together if we receive the subscriptions at
different
times.
What
If I
require handicapped
seats?
If you are unable to climb
stairs, you need to tell us that on your form and we will assign you
ground
level seats.
What if I want
to cancel my subscription?
Just let us know and we will cheerfully refund
the balance of
your subscription, no questions asked.
