Marriage is Murder
by Nick Hall

Ex-spouses Paul and Polly Butler wrote murder mysteries together... and tested the realism of their novels by trying out their murder methods on each other. Recently estranged, the couple reunites to write one more novel - as long as they don't kill each other in the process! Acting out the crimes in Paul's apartment, the couple's delightfully fast paced dialogue keeps audiences on the edge of their seats. Poisoned food and drinks, alibis and fingerprints, tied-up bodies in a trunk, daggers, guns and even an axe all contribute to the hilarity. Nobody gets hurt, but their egos take some hits as they find that their marriage was mixed up with their work. As they attempt to outdo and surprise each other, they learn that marriage, like murder, is in the details. The final witty complication is a real murder that they, and the audience, will have to solve.

The Importance of Being Earnest
by Oscar Wilde

Wilde's most beloved and successful play combines a labyrinthine plot, the seemingly irresolvable narrative of a farce, and some of the most comic and wittiest lines ever written.

Into the Woods
by Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine

The story follows a Baker and his wife, who wish to have a child; Cinderella, who wishes to attend the King’s Festival; and Jack, who wishes his cow would give milk. When the Baker and his wife learn that they cannot have a child because of a Witch’s curse, the two set off on a journey to break the curse. The Brothers Grimm hit the stage with an epic fairytale about wishes, family, and the choices we make.
