Ivan Menchell
(Comedy)
Three Jewish widows meet once a month for tea before going to visit their husband's graves. Ida is sweet tempered and
ready to begin a new life, Lucille is a feisty embodiment of the girl who just wants to have fun, and Doris is priggish and

Rabbit Hole
David Lindsay-Abaire (Drama)
"David Lindsay-Abaire has crafted a drama that's not just a departure but a revelation-an intensely emotional examination
of grief, laced with wit, insightfulness, compassion and searing honesty." -Variety. "Grade: A! A transcendent and deeply
affecting new play, which shifts perfectly from hilarity to grief." -Entertainment Weekly. "RABBIT HOLE presents a tragedy
and its consequences with utter candor, and without sentimentality. The dialogue is most impressive for capturing the
awkwardness and pain of thinking people faced with an unthinkable situation-and eventually, their capacity for survival,
and even hope." -USA Today. "With RABBIT HOLE, David Lindsay-Abaire has crafted the most serious, simply told work of
his career-a painstakingly beautiful, dramatically resourceful, exquisitely human new play." -BackStage. "A thoroughly
absorbing, profoundly affecting and painfully touching examination of grief." -Bergen Record. "The highest praise to playwright
David Lindsay-Abaire! RABBIT HOLE is an entertaining and satisfying play-it might just be the year's best." -
Show Business Weekly. "A perceptive and poignant study in the day-to-day aches of bereavement: problems with personal
intimacy, the uneasy friends who don't call, the emptiness in a house packed with reminders…Heartbreaking in its theme and
details, RABBIT HOLE is a beautifully crafted work of great sensitivity." -Star-Ledger.
THE STORY: Becca and Howie Corbett have everything a family could want, until a life-shattering accident turns their
world upside down and leaves the couple drifting perilously apart. RABBIT HOLE charts their bittersweet search for comfort
in the darkest of places and for a path that will lead them back into the light of day.

Barefoot In The Park
Neil Simon ( Comedy)
After a six day honeymoon a spanking new lawyer, who has just won his first case 6 cents in damages, and his young bride,
who is as pretty and addled as they come, move into the new, high rent apartment that she has chosen for them. But the difficulty
is, in order to enjoy the charming character of this apartment, one has to climb six wheezing flights. And the apartment is
absolutely bare of furniture, the paint job came out all wrong, the skylight leaks snow, there isn't room for a double bed, and
an outlandish gourmet who lives in a loft on the roof uses it and the window ledge as the only access to his padlocked premises.
The situation is enough to break the heart and burst the lungs of any stylish young lawyer; and indeed it does, on the night he
flatly refuses to join his wife in a barefoot walk through the snow in the park. She kicks him out, but he comes back not for
reconciliation, but because he figures that since he's paying the rent she should be the one to go. "The merriest evening
Broadway has enjoyed in years." N.Y. World Telegram & Sun. "A bubbling, ribtickling comedy." N.Y. Times. "Critic weeps
joyfully.... I don't think anybody stopped laughing while the curtain was up last evening." N.Y. Daily News.
