"The Lion In Winter":  Robb Mann!

Plot Summary:
When Elwood P. Dowd starts to introduce his imaginary friend, Harvey, a six-and-a-half-foot rabbit, to guests at a society party, his sister, Veta, has seen as much of his eccentric behavior as she can tolerate, and decides to have him committed to spare their family from future embarrassment. Problems arise, however, when Veta herself is committed when she explains to doctors that years of living with Elwood's hallucination have caused her to see Harvey also! When the truth comes out, the search is on for Elwood and his invisible companion.

Plot Summary
Aaronetta and Ida Gibbs have lived next door to each other most of their lives and along with Esther, all of the Gibb sisters are an open book to each other, but not to their husbands! Into the fray comes Myrtle Brown, perpetually engaged to Ida's son Homer. But Homer can't seem to pop the question. Taking matters into her own hands, Myrtle finally gets a proposal by compelling Homer to fly the nest. Sort of. This perennially charming portrait of small town America fifty plus years ago was revived on Broadway in 1980 and in 2002 to critical acclaim. "It comes back in total triumph...Absolutely entrancing...See this lovely play!- New York Post

Plot Summary:
Set against the backdrop of the late 1950s and told in the style of the social guidance films of that era, A CONTEMPORARY AMERICAN'S GUIDE TO A SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGE © 1959 follows two young couples from courtship to matrimony, and ultimately to what comes after. "In retrospect, the 1950s were a lot like Bizarro World: a period when much of what seemed right turned out to be wrong, and much of what was considered bad turned out to be wonderful. That's the very solid foundation for this play, which focuses on two Iowa couples who get married 'by the book' and then live to regret it…The script by Robert Bastron is funny and smart throughout." -HYReviews.com. "A hilariously compelling and earnest story." -NYTheatre.com. "A very funny play…Robert Bastron's script gets a lot of laughs." —CurtainUp.
