Broadway's greatest farce is light, fast-paced, witty, irreverent and one of the funniest musicals ever written. A crafty slave will stop at nothing to win the hand of a beautiful (if slow-witted) courtesan for his young master, hoping to win his own freedom. Winner of nine Tony Awards.

Two young gentleman in Victorian England both use the same pseudonym, Ernest, and each falls in love with a different woman. The result is Wilde's classic comedy of mistaken identities.

Each comedy is rehearsed in a single day, then performed as a concert reading. A rare opportunity to see new work as it is being developed.
July 17 - Murphy's Law by Kenneth L. Stilson. In Sopranos-like fashion, filled with humour and violence, this play recounts the unusual evolution of the twenty-nine year friendship of two "made" members of an organized scrime syndicate, leading to a surprising discovery and an unexpected conclusion.
July 24 - Sexiversary! by Gabrielle Roman. Damon is on a mission to impress his girlfriend, but Portia just isn't in the mood. Jordan is on a mission to keep is mother in the dark, but Fatima isn't having it. A comedy that captures the difficulty of relationships of all kinds, teh strange and turbulent age of "20-something," and the realization that sooner or later we have to admit the world doesn't revolve around us.
Both readings begin at 7:30PM in the Corner Playhouse
