But the difficulty is, in order to enjoy the charming character of this apartment, one has to climb six wheezing flights. And the apartment is absolutely bare of furniture, the paint job came out all wrong, the skylight leaks snow, there isn't room for a double bed, and an outlandish gourmet who lives in a loft on the roof uses it and the window ledge as the only access to his padlocked premises. The situation is enough to break the heart and burst the lungs of any stylish young lawyer; and indeed it does, on the night he flatly refuses to join his wife in a barefoot walk through the snow in the park. She kicks him out, but he comes back not for reconciliation, but because he figures that since he's paying the rent she should be the one to go. "The merriest evening Broadway has enjoyed in years." N.Y. World Telegram & Sun. "A bubbling, ribtickling comedy." N.Y. Times. "Critic weeps joyfully.... I don't think anybody stopped laughing while the curtain was up last evening." N.Y. Daily News. _____ RETURN TO THE FORBIDDEN PLANET June 12 – 22 By Bob Carlton Musical, Comedy, PG Blast off on a routine flight and crash into the planet D'Illyria where a sci fi version of The Tempest set to rock and roll golden oldies unfolds with glee. The planet is inhabited by a sinister scientist, Dr. Prospero; his delightful daughter Miranda; Ariel, a faithful robot on roller skates; and an uncontrollable monster, the product of Prospero's Id, whose tentacles penetrate the space craft. Winner of an Olivier Award for Best Musical. "A masterpiece.... Take one plot (Shakespeare's The Tempest), one B movie (Forbidden Planet) and for added flavor plunder the entire Shakespearean cannon for dialogue (the more pungent the plagiarism, the more piquant the final effect).... Your favorite blasts from the past ... ring out of the story with such unadulterated audacity that the cue lines themselves beg for mercy."-- What's On. "Prepare to dance in the aisles."-- Time Out. "The best rock and roll show in town.... You just have to laugh at the death defying puns ... and the way the songs are worked into the plot with perfect logic."-- Daily Express. "Tacky, camp, irreverent and-- frankly enjoyable..... A cult hit."-- Daily Mail. _____ PROJECT YOUTH July 17 – 26 By Stephanie Riggs and Adam Wright Musical, Drama, G (2nd Sunday will attend 1st Sunday, July 20th) A world premier musical produced in conjunction with FMPAT’s youth educational programs. What becomes of our world when all that remains is left in the hands of children. A look at the decay of our planets ecological system, and the effect it has on the future with an original script and music written by Stephanie Riggs and Adam Wright for some of the brightest young talent in the Metroplex. _____ DRIVING MISS DAISY October 16 – 26 By Alfred Uhry Play, Drama, PG Winner of the 1988 Pulitzer Prize and the Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Off-Broadway Play. A warm-hearted, humorous and affecting study of the unlikely relationship between an aging, crotchety white Southern lady, and a proud, soft-spoken black man. A long-run Off-Broadway success and an Academy Award-winning film. "The play is sweet without being mawkish, ameliorative, without being sanctimonious." —NY Times. "…a perfectly poised and shaped miniature on the odd-couple theme." —NY Post. "Playwrights Horizons has a winner in this one…gives off a warm glow of humane affirmation." —Variety. "DRIVING MISS DAISY is a total delight." —NY Daily News. _____ THE BEST CHRISTMAS PAGEANT EVER December 12 – 21 By Barbara Robinson Play, Family, G In this hilarious Christmas tale, a couple struggling to put on a church Christmas pageant is faced with casting the Herdman kids-- probably the most inventively awful kids in history. You won't believe the mayhem-- and the fun-- when the Herdmans collide with the Christmas story head on! "An American classic."-- McCall's Magazine. "One of the best Christmas stories ever-- and certainly one of the funniest."-- Seattle Times.
