Judson Theatre Company 2015 Season!

As Executive Producer of Judson Theatre Company, I'm excited to announce our 2015 Season! 

Our fourth season opens with Neil Simon’s comedy smash Plaza Suite, starring Eve Plumb (best known as “Jan” on The Brady Bunch). Laughter abounds in this portrait of three couples in the swinging 1960s occupying a suite at New York’s Plaza Hotel: a suburban couple who are revisiting their honeymoon suite in an attempt to rekindle the romance in their relationship; a much-married Hollywood producer who reunites with his childhood sweetheart, now a suburban housewife, who has idolized him from afar over the years; and the parents of a nervous bride who’s locked herself in the bathroom with the wedding waiting downstairs. Time magazine declared the original Broadway production “An avalanche of hilarity!” and indeed, Plaza Suite is a clever comic meditation upon the effects of time upon love. Show dates: June 18-21.

In the fall, the laughter continues with the beloved Pulitzer Prize winning hit Harvey by Mary Chase. It’s the story of Elwood P. Dowd–one of the modern theatre’s most beloved characters. Charming and kind, Elwood has one quirk: an unwavering friendship with a 6’3 1/2″ invisible rabbit named Harvey! It’s a classic comic fantasy about losing your mind–and finding your real (and imaginary) true friends. Show dates: September 24-27.

Broadway's OF MICE AND MEN recoups!

Investors make theatre possible. It’s one thing to say “I believe in what you do” and still another to take the plunge and say “I’m investing in this show.”  People invest in shows for lots of reasons; it’s a personal thing. A sincere thank you to those who joined us and invested in Of Mice and Men.

And though this news was just published today, I've already received lots of congratulatory messages.  So fortunate to have true friends who genuinely share the happiness that comes with this good news.
