PLAY SYNOPSIS: This is a tale that we want to believe in, that creates a world we seem to desperately desire, free of the blatant commercialism that surrounds us, where love and decency and generosity of spirit are their own rewards. What we want Christmas to be all about, really." So writes the Santa Cruz Sentinel of this most heartwarming holiday story. By chance, Kris Kringle, an old man in a retirement home, gets a job working as Santa for Macy's. Kris unleashes waves of good will with Macy's customers and the commercial world of New York City by referring parents to other stores to find exactly the toy their child has asked for. Seen as deluded and dangerous by Macy's vocational counselor, who plots to have Kris shanghaied to Bellevue Psychiatric Hospital, Kris ends up in a court competency hearing. Especially at stake is one little girl's belief in Santa. It's up to Susan's mother, her boyfriend from across the hall, and the Post Office to convince a judge that Santa Claus really exists so that every child in New York City can continue to feel the joy and magic of Christmas.

STUDIO THEATRE
Edgy Director's Showcase
"Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?"
January 27 & 28 at 7pm 

Note: Director's Showcase productions may contain adult language and situations. 

George, a professor at a small college, and his wife, Martha, daughter of the college’s president, return home, drunk from a Saturday night party. Amidst bickering, Martha announces that guests are coming over — a new, good-looking professor and his naïve wife. Drinks flow and inhibitions melt. It seems Martha is determined to seduce the young professor and George couldn’t care less. Underneath the edgy banter lurks tragedy, despair and sadness, but there’s love there, too. The couples play bitter "games," meant to damage and destroy, and George and Martha finally agree to total war. Caught in a battle to the death, their deepest secrets are revealed, and no one leaves unscathed.

MAINSTAGE THEATRE   
"The Curious Savage"
May 5, 6, 11, 12, and          13 at 7pm &
May 13 at 2pm

PLAY SYNOPSIS: Mrs. Savage has been left ten million dollars by her husband and wants to make the best use of it, in spite of her grown-up stepchildren’s efforts to get their hands on it. Knowing that the widow’s wealth is now in negotiable securities, and seeing they cannot get hold of the fortune, the stepchildren commit her to a sanatorium hoping to “bring her to her senses.” In the sanatorium Mrs. Savage meets various social misfits, men and women who just cannot adjust themselves to life, people who need the help Mrs. Savage can provide. In getting to know them, she realizes that she will find happiness with them and plans to spend the rest of her life as one of them. But when the doctor tells her there is no reason why she should remain, she hesitates to go out into a hard world where people seem ready to do anything for money. The self-seeking stepchildren are driven to distraction by their vain efforts to browbeat Mrs. Savage, but she preserves her equanimity and leads them on a merry chase. At last her friends conspire to get rid of her stepchildren, and through their simple belief in the justice of her cause, they enable Mrs. Savage to carry out her plans to establish a fund to help others realize their hopes and dreams. The dominant mood is high comedy, and the audience is left with a feeling that the neglected virtues of kindness and affection have not been entirely lost in a world that seems at times motivated only by greed and dishonesty.
