Just for the fun of it.

Before James Bond, before Austin Powers, before Clouseau, there was Captain Hugh “Bullshot” Crummond. An irreverent spoof of cliché detective B-movies, this hilarious comedy ambitiously stages wild thrills and spills traditionally reserved for the screen: plane crashes, car chases, icy mountain cliff hangers, sword fights, and even a naval sea battle.

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

Change is on the menu.

Set in the dining room of a typical mid-20th century household, this brilliantly conceived and richly humorous theatrical tour de force showcases the now neglected room which was once the vital center of family life. In a mosaic of interrelated scenes—some funny, some touching—an ensemble of actors creates an in-depth portrait of a vanishing lifestyle. A theatrical experience of exceptional range, compassionate humor and abundant humanity, The Dining Room displays the neglected room in all its splendor, with the glassware, silverware and tablecloth used by generations past.
