Escape from Applebee’s
Theater
Written by Anthony Mercado
Escape From Applebee’s depicts a painfully typical night in the lives of Tim and Michele Hagner, a cute but harmless suburban couple enjoying a night out at their local Applebee’s with their fresh baby. But when they attract the (un)wanted attention of a beautiful waitress, who is definitely not from around here, their casual dinner becomes anything but. Save room for a triple chocolate meltdown in this new comedy about the politics of sex, marriage, and dessert.

The Playboy of the Western World
Theater
Written by John Millington Synge
Directed by Mark Mallecoccio
The Playboy of the Western World is a comedic romp through turn-of-the-century Ireland, written by J.M. Synge. Set in Michael James Flaherty’s public house it tells the story of Christy Mahon, a young man running away from his farm, claiming he killed his father. The locals are more interested in vicariously enjoying his story than In condemning the immorality of his murderous deed, and in fact, Christy’s tale captures the romantic attention of the bar-maid Pegeen Mike, the daughter of Flaherty.
