WHEN SHAKESPEARE'S LADIES MEET Directed by Carolyn Burmedi
Here are the Production Photos Here are the Cast & Crew Photos
WHEN SHAKESPEARE'S LADIES MEET is a delightful comedy with a bite of satire. Juliet has just fallen for Romeo. Six of the Bard's most noted heroines descend on the Capulet household to offer their oh-so-helpful opinions on men, love, men, marriage, men and more men. Juliet is visited by Portia from The Merchant of Venice, Katherine from The Taming of the Shrew, Desdemona from Othello, Ophelia from Hamlet, and Cleopatra from Antony and Cleopatra. Portia's advice is very legal; Katherine suggests the ways of a shrew bring results; Desdemona tells how Othello smother her with affection; Ophelia is as mad as a March hare, and Cleopatra imparts her methods with the stalwart Anthony. In the end, they all learn that the innocent Juliet can give them all lessons in love, despite her extreme youth.

The suburbs – for decades, the suburbs have been eulogized or vilified. Now the suburbs hit the musical theater stage. Suburb takes an insightful and witty view of the world of the lawnmower, the barbecue, and the mall, exploring the suburb's rites and rituals. “[O]n the surface, this award-winning musical is about one Manhattan couple’s housing decision. On all the important levels, it’s about the courage to make change.” — The New York Times SUBURB is about a newly married couple, Stuart and Allison, who are expecting their first child and simultaneously considering a change of residence. Stuart envisions a suburban paradise of backyard ball games and cookouts. Allison has her doubts: she like the city and fears a bland, ordinary suburban life that will turn her into a mother. With the assistance of Rhoda, their velvet steamroller of a realtor, Stuart and Allison find their dream house (well, Stuart’s dream house- Allison is undecided.) Yet Tom, the owner, starts having second thoughts about selling the house he shared with his recently deceased wife. The rest of the show is Stuart trying to persuade Allison they should take the house and Rhoda trying to convince Tom it’s time to let the house go and move on – especially since she has developed a romantic interest in this eligible widower. A quartet of suburbanites thread through the action with a succession of numbers celebrating or lamenting various aspects of suburban life including the barbeque, commuting, the shopping mall, walking to school and moving day.
