| Jest A Second | Comedy by James Sherman Directed by James Rice |

| Bunbury | A Serious Play For Trivial People by Tom Jacobson Directed by Robert Craig |
|
| When he finds out that he is only a fictitious character who never appears in The Importance of Being Earnest, Bunbury uses his double anonymity to infiltrate and alter classic literature, starting by accidentally giving Romeo and Juliet a happy ending. The resulting transformation of such classics as The Three Sisters, A Streetcar Named Desire, Waiting for Godot, and even Edgar Allan Poe’s The Raven spawns a new sub-discipline in literary criticism and may even change the world. A comedy that proves everyone’s life means something—even if they don’t exist. | April 18— May 31, 2008 Sun. 2pm Mat.: Apr. 27 May 18, 25 |

| Blithe Spirit | Farce by Noel Coward Directed by Yvonne Robertson |
|
| Noel Coward’s Blithe Spirit is a classic farce in which a novelist invites a medium to conduct a séance in his home, hoping to expose her as a fraud and gather some material for his next book. Instead, the medium succeeds in summoning the spirit of the writer’s temperamental late first wife, much to the annoyance of his current one. | July 18— August 23, 2008 Sun. 2pm Mat.: Jul. 27 Aug. 3, 17 |

| How The Other Half Loves is an ingenious, funny and brilliantly crafted masterpiece, which juggles time and space to present the lives and loves, passion and panic of three married couples in a play of love and laughter, meals and mayhem. Like all of Ayckbourn’s comedies it is about the precise interaction of sex and class in modern English society. | August 29— October 4, 2008 Sun. 2pm Mat.: Sep. 7, 14, 28 |
