Sex, food, and money keep you laughing in this adapted classic Italian comedy

Brighton, England. 1963. Change is in the air, and Francis Henshall is looking to make his mark. In search of work, he finds himself employed by small-time gangster Roscoe Crabbe. But Roscoe is really Rachel, posing as her own dead brother, herself in love with Stanley Stubbers who, in turn, becomes our hero’s other ‘guvnor’. Fighting a mounting sense of confusion, Francis goes out of his way to serve both bosses. But with the distractions of a feminist book keeper, a self-important actor, and select members of the criminal fraternity (not to mention his own mammoth appetite) to contend with, how long can he keep them apart? This hilarious comedy received 5-star reviews from every London newspaper and was the hit of the 2012 Broadway season. 

Recommended for Ages 12+

The world’s most successful and longest-running play comes to the TLT stage

After a murder, the guests and staff at Monkswell Manor find themselves stranded during a snowstorm. It soon becomes clear that the killer is among them, and the strangers grow increasingly suspicious of one another. A detective interrogates the suspects: the newlyweds running the house; a spinster with a curious background; an architect who seems better equipped to be a chef; a retired Army major; a strange man who claims his car has overturned in a drift; and a jurist who makes life miserable for everyone. When a second murder takes place, tensions and fears escalate. This record-breaking murder mystery features a brilliant surprise finish from Dame Agatha Christie, the foremost mystery writer of her time.

The perfect mix of audience-pleasing humor and heart for the holidays  

Set in the little village of Anatevka, the story centers on Tevye, a poor milkman, and his five daughters. With the help of a colorful and tight-knit Jewish community, Tevye tries to protect his daughters and instill them with traditional values in the face of changing social mores and the growing anti-Semitism of Czarist Russia. Rich in historical and ethnic detail, Fiddler on the Roof’s universal theme of tradition cuts across barriers of race, class, nationality, and religion, leaving audiences crying tears of laughter, joy, and sadness. Winner of nine Tony® Awards when it debuted in 1964, Fiddler is a classic not to be missed!

He debuted on Broadway in Les Miserables; among his eight other Broadway credits are Driving Miss Daisy (with James Earl Jones), The Scarlet Pimpernel, Damn Yankees (with Jerry Lewis), and 42nd Street. He was the stand-by for John Lithgow in Sweet Smell of Success, directed by Sir Nick Hytner.  Allen shared an Emmy Award for his contribution to Passion: Live from Lincoln Center, in which he appeared opposite Patti LuPone. He starred opposite Petula Clark in Sunset Boulevard, with Keith Michell in Lloyd-Webber's Aspects of Love, and with Marlo Thomas in Six Degrees of Separation. He has appeared in 28 productions at Seattle’s 5th Avenue Theatre, was featured in several Broadway national tours, and played a leading role in the premiere of Whistle Down the Wind directed by Hal Prince.

TLT and UWT bring Pulitzer Prize-winner, Nilo Cruz’s surrealist play to life

Lorca in a Green Dress pays homage to Federico García Lorca, writer of Gypsy Ballads, Mariana Pineda, and Play Without a Title.  Lorca was killed by fascist forces on August 19, 1936 in the opening days of the Spanish Civil War. Upon his death, the great Spanish poet arrives in the “Lorca Room” in purgatory where he learns he will be quarantined for the next 40 days. With dramatic and sensual flamenco flair, Lorca in a Green Dress is a spellbinding exploration of the life and death of Lorca. Five different actors portray aspects of the poet’s personality in a surrealistic landscape that questions what it means to die, to live, to create and to love.

The line between reality and delusion blurs in this thriller

The play centers on the meeting between Agnes, a lonely divorcee, and Peter, a soft-spoken Gulf War drifter. Agnes stays at a seedy motel in hopes of avoiding her abusive ex-husband, Jerry. At first, she lets Peter sleep platonically on her floor, but not long after he is promoted to the bed. Matters become more complicated as Jerry eagerly returns expecting to resume their relationship. On top of that, there’s a hidden bug infestation that has both Agnes and Peter dealing with scathing welts and festering sores—which has Peter believing this is the result of experiments conducted on him during his stay at an Army hospital. Their fears soon escalate to paranoia, conspiracy theories and twisted psychological motives.
