Two African-American blood brothers, named Lincoln and Booth as a joke by their father, share a one-room apartment with a bathroom down the hall. Booth aspires to be a successful three card monty hustler and Lincoln is proud to hold down a legitimate job. This brilliant script illuminates the African-American experience, locked in the embrace of history and family. New York Times critic Ben Brantley called it a "thrilling comic drama." Winner of the 2002 Pulitzer Prize.

By Noel Coward Directed by Lee Gundersheimer
It is 1941 and it's the Battle of Briton. Laughing in the face of death and destruction, Noel Coward writes on of the most enduring and endearing comedies of our time by conjuring up an entire play that minimizes the great divide between life and death. Charles is a novelist in need of background material for the character of a medium in his new book. A complete skeptic, he nevertheless invites the infamous Madame Arcati to his home for a seance. Modern drama's funniest ghost story.

In the small town of Altamont, North Carolina, in 1916, matriarch Eliza Gant makes the Dixieland Boarding House the center of her life. Her husband, W.O., carves marble tombstones, engages in displays of public drunkenness and takes solace in a tender friendship with the local Madame. When two of their sons, Eugene and Ben confront life and love simultaneously, the entire family is forced to face the truth of their lives in one of the most explosive finales in American theater. This is Thomas Wolfe's fictional autobiography and our American Classic for this season. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1958.
