Wait Until Dark

by Frederick Knott

Susy Hendrix, a blind Greenwich Village housewife who becomes the target of three thugs searching for the heroin hidden in a doll, which her husband transported from Canada as a favor to a woman who since has been murdered.

The Odd Couple

by Neil Simon

The Odd Couple

This classic comedy opens as a group of the guys assembled for cards in the apartment of divorced Oscar Madison. And if the mess is any indication, it's no wonder that his wife left him. Late to arrive is Felix Unger who has just been separated from his wife. Since he is very fastidious and none too tense, they fear he might commit suicide and go about locking all the windows. When Felix arrives, he is scarcely allowed to go to the bathroom alone. As the action unfolds, the clean-freak and the slob ultimately decide to room together with hilarious results as The Odd Couple is born.

Performance Dates – July 18 – 20, 24 - 27, 31 – August 3

Times – Thursdays through Saturdays: 8 p.m.; Sundays: 2 and 7 p.m.

Tickets – $35
