 Side
Man
a comedy-drama by Warren Leight
February 21 - March 15, 2003
1999 Tony Award for Best Play
Smoothly gliding between present and past, SIDE MAN tells the story of a time before The Beatles and Elvis, when jazzmen were as heroic as ball players and there was no shortage of Saturday night gigs. SIDE MAN is both a tribute to the men whose lives were their music and a sober look at a broken family left in the wake of that passion.
"Leight does full justice both to the sordid side of the jazz world
and to the moments of pure joy that the players experience
when they kept time so well it stood still for them.'"
- Fintan O’Toole, New York Daily News

 A
Hotel on Marvin Gardens
a comedy by Nagle Jackson
March 28 - April 19, 2003
K.C., the no-nonsense publisher of ME magazine, is hosting her annual all-day Monopoly game party.
"All I want is to run everything and always be right. Now is that so much to
ask?" K.C. declares. Monopoly references delight audiences who know the game by heart and the double meaning of corporate gamesmanship rings wickedly true, as America’s favorite board game becomes the metaphor for American greed.
"Smart interplay of character... sparkling
dialogue..."
- Variety
