By Tom Stoppard; Adapted from Gerald Sibleyras’s Le Vent des Peupliers;
Henri, Gustave and Philippe, a trio of cantankerous World War I veterans, spend their days on the terrace of a remote French hospital exchanging barbs. Although their bodies might not be cooperating fully, they become rejuvenated by dreaming up an escape plan to the poplars beckoning in the distance. As Stoppard is the master of scintillating language and magnificent wit, his adaptation of Sibleyras’s play is at once funny and poignant, clever and whimsical. Directed by C. Michael Wright, featuring Richard Halverson, Dan Mooney & Robert Spencer.

By A. R. Gurney. For the dog lover in all of us. Greg brings home Sylvia, a stray he found in Central Park, and finds in her a loving escape from job frustrations and the dog days of middle age. Greg's wife Kate doesn't take kindly to her man's new best friend and rival for his affections. With their marriage in the balance, a series of hilarious and touching complications encourages Greg and Kate to compromise. If all goes well, Sylvia just might become a bone-a-fide member of the family, freshly healed by puppy love.
