With the success of David Cromer’s 2009 Off-Broadway production of Thornton Wilder’s 1938 Pulitzer-Prize winning play, Our Town has been even further cemented in history as an American classic. With themes illuminating the stages of life and conventions commenting on the nature of theater, this work is as revolutionary for its time as it is relevant for today. “Wilder sought to make sacraments of simple things. In Our Town he cautioned us to recognize that life is both precious and ordinary, and that these two fundamental truths are intimately connected.” — NY Times

The time-shifting comedy by the author of Top Girls created a sensation when it opened Off-Broadway in 1981 under the direction of Tommy Tune. It tells a story of many different relationships -- between men and women, men and men, women and women. Cloud 9 is about sex, work, mothers, Africa, power, children, grandmothers, politics, money, and Queen Victoria. “Intelligent, inventive, and funny.”— NY Times

Georg and Amalia are two feuding clerks in a European parfumerie during the 1930’s who secretly find solace in their anonymous romantic pen pals, not knowing their respective correspondents are none other than each other! She Loves Me is a warm romantic comedy with an endearing innocence and a touch of old world elegance and nostalgia, though still as relevant today as ever. “She Loves Me turns out to be one love affair that, against Broadway’s odds, has grown only deeper with time.” — NY Times
