Barbara Cook in MOSTLY SONDHEIM
October 9 - 14, 2001
Broadway legend Barbara Cook sings Mostly Sondheim, offering selections written by the influential composer Stephen Sondheim (celebrating his 70th birthday) combined with pieces from the Great American Songbook that "he wishes he had written" - sung with the flawless delivery that has earned Ms. Cook rare reviews and legions of fans. Her silvery soprano and purity of tone have delighted audiences around the world. The recipient of a Tony Award®, a Grammy, a Drama Desk Award, and most recently inducted into the Broadway Hall of Fame, Cook was considered "Broadway's favorite ingénue" during the heyday of the Broadway musical. "The chemistry of Ms. Cook's voice and Mr. Sondheim's songs, which take a long view of life and death in the midst of furious emotional turmoil, is quietly shattering." - The New York Times.

YOU NEVER CAN TELL
September 20 - October 13, 2001
By: George Bernard Shaw
High comedy, true romance and seaside dentistry! Dip your big toe into the waters of George Bernard Shaw's social comedy, set in a seaside town on the coast of England. A chance encounter with a dentist named Valentine foils Mrs. Clandon's attempts to shield her children… from their father! Witty and whimsical, this farce is one of the world's greatest playwright's most beloved works. Winning, graceful, and charming!" -The New York Post
