Check, Please

(The Best of Check, Please & Check, Please: Take 2)

by Jonathan Rand

Dating can be hard.  Especially when your date happens to be a raging kleptomaniac, or your grandmother’s bridge partner, or a mime.  Check, Please follows a series of blind dates that could get any worse – until they do.  In Check, Please: Take 2, Guy and Girl are forced to plunge back into the dating pool.  Unfortunately that pool is filled with foot-reading psychics, frustrated polygamists, and extreme accountants.  And pirates.  Are blind dates really that unbearable?  Yes.  Yes, they are.

Brighton Beach Memoirs

by Neil Simon

 

In Neil Simon's darkly funny memoir of his family in 1930s Brooklyn, 14-year-old Eugene is preoccupied by his passion for the Yankees and his lust for his beautiful cousin, Nora. Eugene's comic growing pains contrast with the darker issues troubling his family: poverty, illness, long-held sibling resentment, and the growing Nazi threat to relatives in Europe. With a deft and compassionate hand, Simon creates a Brooklyn universe full of memorable characters, humor, and truth.

Cinderella

Music by Richard Rodgers  Book and Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II

The timeless enchantment of a magical fairy tale is reborn with the Rodgers & Hammerstein hallmarks of originality, charm and elegance.  As adapted for the stage, with great warmth and more than a touch of hilarity, the hearts of children and adults alike still soar when the slipper fits.

Father of the Bride

by Caroline Francke   From the novel by Edward Streeter, illustrated by Gluyas Williams

 

Mr. Banks learns that one of the young men he has seen occasionally about the house is about to become his son-in-law. Daughter Kay announces the engagement out of nowhere. Mrs. Banks and her sons are happy, but Mr. Banks is in a dither. In the end, the father of the bride is a happy, proud man, glad that the wedding is over, but knowing too that it was worth all the money and aggravation to start his daughter off so handsomely on the road to married life.
