HAPPY DAYS by Samuel Beckett 
August 25 – September 25
Wednesdays – Sundays, 8 pm
In "Happy Days", award-winning playwright Samuel Beckett pursues his relentless search for the meaning of existence, probing the tenuous relationships that bind one person to another, and each to the universe, to time past and time present. Once again, stripping theater to its barest essentials, "Happy Days" offers only two characters: a married couple, Winnie and Willie, a mound of dirt as the set, and a bag of props containing a few earthly possessions. Returning from 2009's hit comedy, "Social Security", Lynn and Ron Cohen star in this compelling production.

TOPDOG/ UNDERDOG by Suzi Lori Parks 
September 29 –October 23, 2010
Wednesdays – Sundays, 8 pm
"Topdog/Underdog" is the 2002 Pulitzer Prize winning play about two African American brothers, named Lincoln and Booth. Given these names as a "joke" by their father, the two men cope with women, work, poverty, gambling, racism, and their troubled upbringings. Using three-card monte as a metaphor, this play is ultimately about the Great American Con. Like the title suggests, "Topdog/Underdog" is a play about competition, reversals, and mirror images that reflect the true self.

THE COMPLETE WORKS OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (ABRIDGED) by the Reduced Shakespeare Co.
October 27 –November 20
Thursdays – Saturdays, 8PM Saturdays & Sundays, 3 pm
You've never seen Shakespeare like this - 37 plays and 154 sonnets by 3 actors in less than 2 hours! This fast-paced comedy offers a hilarious and irreverent take on the Bard's timeless tales. Imagine portraying Titus Andronicus as a cooking show, Othello in old-school rap style and all of Shakespeare's tragedies transformed into a giant football game. This zany tribute uses puns and pop culture to create a rollercoaster ride of a show that is hysterically funny and slightly naughty.
