The Boys Next Door is touching comedy that tugs at the heart as well as the funny bone – honest, original, poignant, and refreshingly funny. Jack, a compassionate but increasingly burned out man, monitors four mentally challenged men living together as outpatients in a group home. Full of memorable characters who, like all of us, are looking to love, laugh and find some purpose.

Mix a Hitchcock masterpiece with a juicy spy novel, add a dash of Monty Python, and you have The 39 Steps, a fast-paced whodunit for anyone who loves the magic of theatre. This two-time Tony Award-winner is packed with nonstop laughs, over 150 zany characters (played by a ridiculously talented cast of 4) an onstage plane crash, handcuffs and some good old-fashioned romance. A riotous blend of virtuoso performances and wildly inventive stagecraft, The 39 Steps will provide LTR audiences with an unforgettable evening.

Opera diva Maria Callas, a glamorous, larger-than-life, and surprisingly funny pedagogue, is holding a voice master class at Julliard. Alternately dismayed and impressed by the voice students who parade before her, she retreats into recollections about the glories of her own life. Included in her musings are her younger years as an ugly duckling, the unforgiving press that savaged her early performances, her triumphs, and her affair with Aristotle Onassis. In her musings, she reflects on the sacrifices we make in the name of art. Winner of the 1996 Tony Award for Best Play.

Since their wives enjoy watching male strippers during a Girls’ Night Out, unemployed steelworkers in Buffalo concoct a bold way to make some quick cash. In the process, they find renewed self-esteem, the importance of friendship, and the ability to have fun. As they work through their fears, they discover that not only are they stronger as a group, but the strength they find in each other gives them the courage to overcome their individual demons. There is great heart to The Full Monty, and great lessons for all of us. Rated PG 13
