FOUR QUEENS IN HAWAIIAN SHIRTS
By Steven Dawson; Director: Jay McCullough
We are excited to present the US Premiere of Steven Dawson’s new comedy FOUR QUEENS IN HAWAIIAN SHIRTS. Getting your friend over a broken heart has never been harder in this wicked romp through the tropics. Four of our boys head off for fun and frolic only to find that their private beach resort has had a change of management and clientele. When it’s queens against nature there can be only one winner. Four talented actors playing everything from flight attendants and loud mouth tourists to an all-girl volleyball team. Very funny and very filthy. SUN, SAND AND NO SEX. IT’S ENOUGH TO DRIVE YOU MAD.

ALTAR BOYZ
Music and Lyrics by Gary Adler
and Michael Patrick Walker
Book by Kevin Del Aguila
Director: Shon M. Stacy
ALTAR BOYZ is a foot-stomping, rafter-raising, musical comedy about a fictitious Christian boy-band on the last night of their national “Raise the Praise” tour. The Boyz are five all-singing, all-dancing heartthrobs from Ohio: Matthew, Mark, Luke, Juan and Abraham. With their tight harmonies and spectacular choreography, the ALTAR BOYZ are sure to delight. As they perform their signature hits such as “Rhythm In Me,” “The Calling,” and “I Believe,” the Boyz question their loyalty to each other and ask whether or not faith is really holding them together. They finally deliver a message of unity, that “there is no star as bright as its constellation, no harmony in a single voice.”

PULP
By Patricia Kane; Director: TBA
A noir parody of old movies and the lesbian pulp fiction of the 1950’s. Join the girls at “The Well,” a lesbian bar that features nightly cabaret jazz and drag kings. Set in the post WWII era of female malaise and ablaze with the punchy style of the pulp fiction genre, PULP is a stylish, fast-paced ride. Love Barbara Stanwyck, Strangers on a Train, Lana Turner and Dashiell Hammett? Then get wrapped up in this comic homage full of intellect and passion. It’s sexy, sassy, clever and totally over the top!

TAKE ME OUT
By Richard Greenberg; Director: TBA
Darren Lemming, an iconic baseball star living the life of an all-American hero, calls a press conference and ‘comes out’ to the waiting world. Through the eyes of the star slugger’s smitten financial consultant, TAKE ME OUT is a gay fantasia on the national pastime — riffs on the infield fly rule mix with deeper musings. After Lemming comes “out”, the fallout pits him in a catastrophic struggle with a racist relief pitcher called up from the minors, with tragic results. Winner of the Tony award for best play in 2003.
