Laughter abounds in Neil Simon’s Plaza Suite, a comic collage of three couples occupying a suite at New York’s Plaza Hotel in the swinging 1960s: a suburban couple who are revisiting their honeymoon suite for their anniversary, in an attempt to “rekindle the flame”; a Hollywood producer on the prowl who reunites with his childhood sweetheart (now a suburban housewife); and the parents of a nervous bride who has locked herself in the bathroom with the wedding waiting downstairs. The original Broadway production was hailed as “an avalanche of hilarity” (Time) that “set the town laughing” (New York Times).

DRIVING MISS DAISY
by Alfred Uhry

March 21-24, 2013
“As you might expect, it’s a daisy. Buy a ticket and see this show. You’ll laugh, you’ll tear up, and you’ll feel like you’ve known these characters all your life. Something happens with live theater that never happens watching a big screen whether at the movies or at home. You change. Following an evening with a great play, you’re never the same person when you leave. Somehow live theater changes the air, as it has for thousands of years. Don’t miss it.” –John Chappell, The Pilot (Pinehurst, NC)
