When they gather to celebrate a wedding anniversary, four New York power couples experience a severe attack of Farce. At a tastefully appointed townhouse, the Deputy Mayor of New York has just shot himself. Though only a flesh wound, the host lies bleeding in the other room, and someone must get "the story" straight. As the confusions and mis-communications mount, the evening spins off into classic farcical hilarity. Tony Award winner!

This adaptation of the play that inspired several movies (You've Got Mail & The Shop Around the Corner) and a Broadway musical (She Loves Me), is a warm, gentle comedy that follows the tangled tale of Parfumerie employee George Horvath. Just days before Christmas, George's boss fires him after suspecting him to be his wife's lover. Meanwhile, George's own love life goes awry when he discovers that the pen pal he has fallen in love with is a co-worker with whom he constantly feuds. Only the truth can lead to a happy resolution in this old-fashioned, romantic Christmas tale.

In this uproarious Southern-fried comedy, three of the Verdeen cousins could not have picked a worse time to throw their family reunion. As a parade of wildly eccentric Verdeens gather on the hottest day of July, smackdab in the middle of Texas tornado season, things spin hilariously out of control and a jaw-dropping high-stakes wager is made on who bakes the best red velvet cake. You’ll wish your own family reunions were this much fun!
