Having munched their way through most of the population in rural Transylvania, Count Dracula and his minions have set their sights on the bright lights of London and all the tasty morsels who live therein. The Count must be stopped before all of London becomes his personal buffet! But, alas, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson, the renowned sleuthing duo are vacationing and won’t return for weeks. What to do?

Orphaned as an infant, young Jane Eyre has known a lifetime of cruelty. First at the hands of her tyrannical Aunt Reed and then during her education at a dreary charity school for impoverished children.
Yet through it all, she yearns for something greater – a life free from the expectations and restrictions of poverty and girlhood that have shackled her.
Join Jane on her eponymous journey into young adulthood, as she crafts an independent life that she can be proud of. Faithfully adapted by Dr. Davey, Charlotte Brontë’s rich and remarkable novel takes center stage and sparkles with new life, love, and energy.

This witty Tony Award-winning play, filled with music, dance, and comedy sketches, introduces us to Chauncey Miles, a gay burlesque performer at the Irving Place Theater. The Nance recreates the naughty, raucous world of burlesque’s heyday, telling the backstage story of Chauncey and his fellow performers. At a time when it was easy but dangerous to be gay, Chauncey’s uproarious antics on the stage stand out in marked contrast to his offstage life.

The King and Queen have decided that it’s high time for their son Prince Dillon to find a wife. They task the Court Jester with finding a suitable bride, but what he unleashes is a never-ending line of young women with serious flaws – one is an egomaniac, one is a maniac, and one has an unnatural attraction to ketchup. Finally, one stormy night, a young woman knocks on the castle door seeking shelter. Is she the match he is seeking? His mother’s ridiculous test of worthiness involving a pea, and some magical help from the local wizard reveal the answer.
