EXTENDED THRU FEBRUARY 13TH!
In a world of systematic, high-speed technology, some people expect to live life as efficiently as the machines they depend on... and when a machine breaks down, there is usually someone with the skills to fix it. But in an age where things that don't work and can't be mended are thrown away, what do we do with something as human and messy as love?

- ONE FUNNY MOTHER: I'M NOT CRAZY!! with Dena Blizzard
Showbliz
Thursday, February 18 through Saturday, February 20 · Thurs 7pm, Fri-Sat 7-9pm
“One Funny Mother: I’m Not Crazy” is an uproarious, truthful look at the daily life of the American woman. Dena’s comedic perspective on marriage, motherhood and the unrealistic perfection that is thrust upon women is hilarious. Through stand-up, music and video Dena describes a life that you will swear is your own.
“One Funny Mother: I’m Not Crazy” exposes the craziness that women and mothers feel every day; the craziness that is rarely talked about but is universal to all women. A great Girl’s Night Out that promises to make you feel better about yourself, or Date Night that will show your husband how normal you really are! If you’ve ever gone unshowered for days at a time, stayed up all night with a sick kid, fought your husband over who works harder, cleaned pudding off a wall, picked a child’s nose, or had a kid pee on you, then this show (and Vodka) are for you!!!

- BROKEN GLASS by Arthur Miller
Isis Productions
Thursday, March 11 through Sunday, April 4
The show is Arthur Miller's Broken Glass. It is November 1938, Brooklyn, New York. Sylvia Gellberg has suddenly mysteriously become paralyzed from the waist down. This happens right after she reads reports in the newspaper on Krystallnacht and an accompanying photograph of two old men forced to clean the streets of Germany with toothbrushes. She feels something should be done to stop the Nazis while most Americans believe the Germans won't allow them to get out of hand. The atrocities in Germany and her husband's denial of his Jewishness and her own realization that she threw her life away have overcome her. Arthur Miller peels away at the layers of the characters' lives in this exploration of what it means to be Jewish and American in 1938.
Thursdays through Saturdays at 8PM. Sundays at 7PM.

- 516 {five sixteen} by Katharine Clark Gray
Philadelphia Theatre Workshop
Saturday, May 15 through Sunday, June 6
WORLD PREMIERE!
Don't call her a ghostwriter; Annalee is a professional term paper auteur. Then she meets Sigurd, a cocky grad student who hires her to pen his "chore" assignments while he works on a mysterious thesis. When the two become lovers, they find themselves embroiled in a blood-sport romance that leads to betrayal. When a stricken Annalee exposes their arrangement, they must both confront Sigurd's professor Martie Hodge. They strike a deal saving their skins, but Martie is exacting in her price. Driven by pride, desire, and intellectual longing, "516 (five sixteen)" is a revenge romance for brainiacs, a mash note to the mind.
