VISITING MR. GREEN by Jeff Baron

Directed by Jerry Castillo featuring Don Pearlman

One of the most widely performed plays around the world, Visiting Mr. Green is a poignant, at times hilarious, and heartwarming portrayal of the collision of two men — one a devout Jewish widower, the other a young hot-shot American Express executive — each of whomharbors painful secrets. What starts out as a comedy about two men who do not want to be in the same room together beautifully evolves into a gripping and emotional drama.

THE PHILADELPHIA STORY by Philip Barry

Directed by Fred Helsel

Rich, haughty and spoilt, Tracey Lord is about to get married for the second time. But she’s reckoned without her former husband, and the reporter sent to cover her wedding. The presence of both men at her pre-nuptial party, the collision of the volatile emotions of the trio, combined with a drunken midnight swim, provokes Tracy into learning some painful lessons, and taking an uncharacteristic look into her heart. Glamorous and sophisticated, Philip Barry’s The Philadelphia Story is a compelling mix of wit, satire and romance, with a freewheeling heroine who delights, exasperates and moves us in equal measure. It was performed on Broadway in 1939, and became one of the great movies of the golden age starring Katherine Hepburn & Cary Grant.
