ACCOMPLICE
by Rupert Holmes
directed by Neill Hartley
Accomplice: where nothing is quite what it seems. A devilishly-clever thriller that takes the audience on a thrill ride of plot twists and turns guaranteed to keep you guessing until the end. Winner of an Edgar for Best Play, Accomplice springs from the mind of Rupert Holmes, the writer behind the Tony-winning mystery The Mystery of Edwin Drood.

House of Blue Leaves
By JOHN GUARE
March 1st – March 25th, 2012
Directed By Neill Hartley
The House of Blue Leaves is a zany comedy centered on the day the Pope made his visit to New York City in 1965. The play’s author, John Guare, uses his characters to accentuate the elusive search for fame, and also begs the question: What is normal?
Every wonderfully wacky character, from Artie to Bunny, to Bananas to Ronnie, to Billy to Corinna, and to a group of crazy nuns, are all searching for that ambiguous something that fame represents. They make us question: Which of these characters are really normal? And the question continues to linger at the end of the play.
But, what is normal? In today’s world of reality television, creating fame out of normal people makes The House of Blue Leaves more relevant now than ever before!
