The
Boyfriend
Directed by Jo Mahoney
Polly,
an English heiress attending Mme. Dubonnet's Finishing School,
falls in love with Tony, a delivery boy. Recalling her father's
warning to beware fortune seekers, she poses as a working girl,
unaware Tony is in fact the missing son of the wealthy Lord
Brockhurst. Things get complicated with the unexpected arrival
in Nice of Polly's parents and Lord and Lady Brockhurst
but not to worry, a happy ending is in store for all. With
a winning sense of humor, The Boy Friend is a sparkling,
tongue-in-cheek 1920's romp in the spirit of No, No, Nanette.

Pippin
Directed by Amado Hernandez
Once upon a time, the young
prince Pippin longed to discover the secret of true happiness
and fulfillment. He sought it in the glories of the battlefield,
the temptations of the flesh and the intrigues of political
power (after disposing of his father King Charlemagne the Great).
In the end, he found it in the simple pleasures of home and
family. This hip, tongue-in-cheek,
anachronistic fairy tale is captivating. The energetic pop-influenced
score by three-time Oscar®-winning composer/lyricist Stephen
Schwartz (Godspell, Children of Eden
and the animated films Pocahontas, The Hunchback
Of Notre Dame and The Prince Of Egypt) bursts
with one showstopping number after another, from soaring ballads
to infectious dance numbers.
