In this hilarious farce, an incredibly shy young man tries to avoid social interactions by pretending to be a foreigner who speaks no English. As people speak freely around him, he learns a variety of secrets—some frivolous and some dangerous. He also discovers an adventurous extrovert hidden within himself, setting up the wildly funny climax in which things go uproariously wrong for the wicked, while the virtuous emerge triumphant. “I laughed start to finish at one comic surprise after another.” —The New Yorker

This beloved American holiday classic comes to captivating life as a live 1940s radio broadcast. The ensemble brings dozens of characters to the stage for one fateful Christmas Eve when the idealistic George Bailey considers what his town would be like if he’d never been born. A wonderful way to experience the season through the magic and imagination of an old-fashioned radio show. “A well-loved tale told with style, charm and a heart so big it could burst the ribcage of the harshest Grinch.” Kerry Reid, The Chicago Tribune

It’s 1942, and two feuding Hollywood divas have descended upon the luxurious Palm Beach Royale Hotel. Everything seems to be in order for their performances at a wartime benefit…that is, until they are somehow booked into the same hotel suite. Close encounters, mistaken identities, overblown egos, double entendres, and a lap dog named Mr. Boodles round out this hilarious riot of a love note to the classic farces of the 30s and 40s.
