“A compelling evening of theatre”

In the hunt for a human interest story that will break the silence on the crisis in Darfur, a New York Times reporter’s life becomes intertwined with an aid worker’s mission to save lives and a Darfuri woman’s quest for safety at a refugee camp.

A sparkling comedy-drama about fighting the dirt in your life, finding true love at any age, and the importance of a good joke. Matilde, a Brazilian housekeeper, hates to clean and instead spends her days trying to dream up the perfect joke. As her employer Lane’s perfectly rational life and marriage collapses around her, the world begins to look like a mysterious and magical place. A life-affirming story that explores the humor and sadness of one household and reminds us that we may never fully understand the jokes life plays, but the wisest response is to have a good laugh anyway

“High-octane entertainment”
- Talkin’ Broadway

N’Sync could learn some moves from this heavenly boy band, apostles of pop who praise the Lord with funk and rhyme. This long-running, critically-acclaimed musical comedy is the hilarious story of a small-town Christian boy-band (with one nice Jewish boy). Matthew, Mark, Luke, Juan and Abraham are nearing the end of their “Raise the Praise” tour of church halls and picnics. Now they have their chance to break into the big time, bringing their soul-saving tour to Atlanta. Armed with sharp wit, sinfully spectacular dance moves and angelic harmonies, the Altar Boyz aim to rock the masses of all denominations. A hilarious, holy hit for the whole family!
