Each member of the self-involved Bliss family invites a special guest to their country estate for a weekend without knowing there will soon be a full house. The trouble is, none of them seems to care much about the company once they arrive in Coward's savvy skewering of the English leisure class.

THE LION IN WINTER
By JAMES GOLDMAN
Masquer Theatre | February 22-26, March 1-5, 2011 | 7:30 PM
Sibling rivalry, romantic jealousy, and spousal bickering are just as rampant now as they were during the reign of Henry II. Political maneuvering becomes high art in this literate comic drama. King Henry, his authoritative Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine, and their sons—the indelible characters of England's first Plantaganet family—are keenly realized in this great American play.

BRIGHTON BEACH MEMOIRS | By NEIL SIMON
Montana Theatre | October 6-10, 13-17, 2009
"In most ways, Eugene Jerome is like any other hormone-addled Brooklyn teenager of the 1930s. At 15, his fantasies are split between girls and baseball. Living in the midst of a messy family, he muddles through, even as he imagines that his small world is the center of something bigger."
