Set on the beachside deck of a house on Fire Island during the 1990 Fourth of July weekend, McNally’s story imagines a gathering between two mismatched couples. Debate, discussion, and disclosure (including secrets, a mystery, and an affair) follow.

Lips Together, Teeth Apart is presented by special arrangement with Broadway Licensing, LLC, servicing the
Dramatists Play Service collection. dramatists.com

“Two straight couples — sister and brother Chloe and Sam, and their spouses John and Sally, spend the Fourth of July at a beachside home on Fire Island. Sally inherited the house from her late gay brother, and the four spend the holiday surrounded by friendly, partying gay neighbors on either side. The four characters reveal — through quick, funny, heartbreaking dialogue and intensely personal monologues — that they are essentially completely alone with their pain. It’s a grimly funny examination of marriage, hopes and dreams, and of life in the presence of death.”

Characters

John Haddock, head of admissions at a boy’s prep school

Chloe Haddock, John’s wife, Sam’s older sister

Sam Truman, self-employed businessman

Sally Truman, Sam’s wife

Into the Breeches!
By George Brant
Directed by Christine Crawfis

A laugh out loud comedy | Main Stage
Delicious celebration of love, art, and community.

That time-honored adage, “The Show Must Go On,” takes on new meaning in this endearing and moving comedy set at a small theater in Wappingers Falls, NY in 1942. With the actors and director off at war, a group of passionate women face the daunting challenge of preserving the theatre’s reputation for mounting outstanding Shakespearean productions. Crammed with laughs and an abundance of visual humor, their fierce determination and unbridled enthusiasm will have audiences cheering as they prove that art and community triumph, even in times of peril.

Perfect Arrangement
By Topher Payne
Directed by Sydnie Grosberg Ronga

A comic tale of closeted lives.
Contemporary Comedy | Main Stage

It’s 1950, and new colors are being added to the Red Scare. Two U.S. State Department employees, Bob and Norma, have been tasked with identifying sexual deviants within their ranks. There’s just one problem: both Bob and Norma are involved in a carefully constructed cover-up.

Inspired by the true story of the earliest stirrings of the gay rights movement, Perfect Arrangement merges madcap sitcom-style laughs with provocative drama as two U.S. State Department employees struggle to maintain their cover – and their sanity – in mid-century America.

Perfect Arrangement is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals, on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. concordtheatricals.com
