“There is no room for second place. There is only one place in my game and that is first place” So said Vince Lombardi, legendary coach of the Green Bay Packers from 1959 to 1967, the subject of Lombardi by Eric Simonson.

Directed by Cate Pappas

What could be more natural while biding their time in Purgatory, than for two lawyers to argue the case of God and the Kingdom of Heaven and Earth versus Judas Iscariot? Guirgis’ play is a thought-provoking and laugh-out-loud irreverent study of the “facts.” Witnesses include Satan, Mother Teresa, Sigmund Freud and a multitude of other saints and sinners. “This isn’t your grandmother’s gospel” –The Village Voice

Suburban New Yorkers Charley and Myra Brock are celebrating their wedding anniversary with a dinner party. As each pair of guests arrives, and the Brocks are conspicuously absent, the suppositions, assumptions and fabrications become increasingly complex and hilarious. Rumors: Online ProgramPrintable PDF Version of Program (4 pages)Our 2022-23 Online Advertisers Review by Ginger Agnew Director Patrick Martin gives the ensemble the tools to elicit audience delight. Leading the ensemble to breathe life into this door slamming, free-wheeling story of a ludicrous evening at home, Martin makes the most of the material. A lightheaded romp to end the season is a fun way to spend a sultry summer evening. Lisa Panzer, Delco Culture VulturesNever a dull moment on stage as a strong cast, directed [by] Patrick Martin, keeps the comedy coming with one-liners, well executed exits and entrances and increasingly frenetic action.”
