THE BOYS NEXT DOOR


An Off-Broadway success, this very funny yet very touching play focuses on the lives of four developmentally disabled men living in a communal residence under the watchful eye of a sincere but increasingly despairing, social worker. Filled with humor, the play, written by Tom Griffin, is marked by compassion and understanding as it peers into the work of its protagonists. We are reminded that the disabled, like the rest of us, want only to love and laugh and find some real meaning and purpose in life.

25th ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE

Summer 2010 show
 

This hilarious play chronicles the angst of six adolescent outsiders vying for the spelling championship. In the process of the spelling bee, the young people in the throes of puberty, overseen by grown-ups who barely managed to escape childhood traumas themselves, learn that wining isn't everything and that losing doesn't necessarily make you a loser. The musical, written by William Finn, Rachel Sheinkin and Rebecca Feldman, received two Tony Awards in 2005.
