By Ken Ludwig. Tenor Tito Morelli is booked to perform Othello on a September night in 1934, and General Manager Saunders knows that it will be the biggest night in the history of The Cleveland Grand Opera Company. But when the boffo-voiced opera star shows up drunk as a skunk, the harried manager does what any self-respecting producer would do: PUNT! This hilarious farce is full of unbelievable mishaps, mistaken identity, and romantic high jinks.

One of Shakespeare’s most tragic heroes squares off against literature’s greatest villain in a visceral, sexy, hard-driving story of intrigue, betrayal and vengeance, as Iago leads Othello to the edge of jealous madness by sewing seeds of doubt about his wife’s fidelity. Culminating in one of Shakespeare’s most powerfully dramatic scenes, this classic revenge tragedy comes to life in a modern and edgy adaptation set in the world of motorcycle gangs.

By William Inge; In the middle of a howling blizzard, four passengers become stranded overnight in a small-town diner 40 miles west of Kansas City. At the center of the storm is Bo, a rambunctious young rodeo rider, who comes crashing in like a headstrong bull with Cherie, the nightclub chanteuse he’s kidnapped and is planning to wed. Full of Inge’s trademark insight into ordinary people in sexually charged circumstances, this uproarious comedy from 1955 still stands the test of time. Directed by Lisa Kornetsky.
BUS STOP will be a collaborative effort with UW-Parkside.

By Richard Conlon. I'll tell you mine if you'll tell me yours. A World Premier Production! A man, a woman, one park bench and the need to share secrets forms the basis of an unusual and charming friendship. But in between the entertaining anecdotes that pepper the stories of two lifetimes, Sonia and Mason allude to past attractions, longings, desires, even dangers which suggest that the biggest secret has yet to be divulged. How much of yourself do you reveal before that "one time" turns into one time too many?
