The Old Jew

The Still Alarm

by George S. Kaufman
Directed by Teri Solomon

 

Synopsis: Set in the bedroom of a hotel which is on fire. The fun lies in the manner in which it is put out. In the face of most exciting danger, the characters play in the well bred manner of English drawing room actors. All amenities are preserved, even when two firemen come in. One of these might be called a practicing professional, but the other is an amateur musician. Although the fire under them becomes hotter every moment, he begins to tune his fiddle. Against a background of flames seen outside, he advances to the center of the stage and begins to play "Keep the Home Fires Burning."

The Bald Soprano

by Eugene Ionesco
Directed by Kerin Ashley

 

Synopsis: A hilarious, unique satire on the ordinary English middle class, in which "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" talk to each other at cross purposes, while their guests, "Mr. and Mrs. Martin" fail to understand, and the Maid and a Fire Chief enter the absurd fray, getting nowhere at all.
