City of Angels is the rarest of musical comedies; one that is not only loaded with music and written in the contemporary jazz idiom, but also filled with sidesplitting comedy. Set in the glamorous, seductive Hollywood of the 40's, the world of film studios and flimsy negliges, the show chronicles the misadventures of Stine, a young novelist, attempting a screenplay for movie producer/director, Buddy Fidler.

One day, inexplicably, Tilly becomes happy, and wreaks havoc on the lives of her paramours. Frances, Tilly's hairdresser, becomes so melancholy that she turns into an almond. It is up to Tilly to get her back.

Senior Director Showcase
by Heiner Mueller\Translated by Marc von Henninga
Brown Theatre's production of Maller's Hamletmachine is an exploration into a young generation's attempt to stimulate social change while confronted by the conformity of consumerist culture. Written in 1977, Hamletmachine revisits the Western Canon's representation of the intellectual faced with revolutionary change. Here, Shakespeare's Hamlet is seen as a man at the threshold of two distinct eras: The movement between Ice Age and Heat Death, between the failure of real existing socialism and the accession of capitalism. In the year 2008, what marks our own transition as the Bush presidency comes to an end, when the ruins of Maller's Europe have become the ruins of the World Trade Center?

With his family searching for him, Peer wanders into the mountains thus beginning his epic journey in the search of the answer to the age old question - "What is it to be one self?"

Demeter is old enough to die wise. She is Black, her hair as silver as a rainbow trout and her skin just as smooth. She is built like a good man, one whose been fighting all her life. She even walks like a good man, women notice her. Men pretend not to. She wears a tattered petticoat, ripped slacks and a cold, black fedora.
