The Comedy of Errors
By William Shakespeare
Get ready for Shakespeare’s most hilarious family reunion at the Cyrano’s Theatre! In a whirlwind of mistaken identities and madcap mix-ups, two sets of twins, separated at birth, find themselves unknowingly in the same city, setting off a cascade of confusion. As chaos erupts in the streets of Ephesus, family ties are stretched to their limits with uproarious misunderstandings and heartfelt reunions.
Through all the laughter and slapstick, Shakespeare reminds us that even the wildest of circumstances can’t break the bonds of family. The Comedy of Errors promises laughs and love for everyone.

Outside Mullingar
By John Patrick Shanley
Anthony and Rosemary are two introverted misfits who despite mutual attraction, cannot seem to get together. With Anthony’s father threatening to disinherit him and a land feud simmering between their families, Rosemary has every reason to fear romantic catastrophe. But then, in this very Irish story with a surprising depth of poetic passion, these yearning, eccentric souls fight their way towards some kind of happiness. Their journey is heartbreaking, funny as hell, and deeply moving. OUTSIDE MULLINGAR is a compassionate, delightful work about how it’s never too late to take a chance on love.

Hay Fever

Hoping for a quiet weekend in the country with some guests, novelist David Bliss, and his wife Judith, a retired actress, find quiet an impossible dream when their high-spirited children, Simon and Sorel, appear with guests of their own. A houseful of drama waits to be ignited as misunderstandings and tempers flare. With Judith’s new flame and David’s newest literary “inspiration” keeping company as the children follow suit, the Bliss family lives up to its name, as the “quiet weekend” comes to an exhausting and hilarious finale! Noel Coward at his most festively funny!
