| It’s the
hottest new musical comedy around. From thinning
hair to reading glasses, from hot flashes to mammograms,
proctology exams and everything in between. Everyone
will relate to these hilarious “age old”
situations about the inevitabilities of middle
age. If you bought some Gingko – Biloba,
but can’t remember where you put it –
then you’re ready for MID –

VIAGARA FALLS
A
comedy by Joao Machado & Michael Carazza
|

“A scale of 1 to 10, this show’s a 12!”
CAROL
BURNETT
“Warm, sentimental, sexy, and good, clean fun…the
laughs come fast and furious and fits all adult sizes.”
Lifestyle
and Community, Palm Springs
This “laugh out loud” comedy is a rare
treat! The story involves two widowers who are
long-time friends, a buxom call girl, and the wonders
of a little blue pill! Charley Millhouse is soon
to turn 77 and his best friend Moe Crubbs wants
to do something very special to celebrate, with
the help of a few call girls and some black-market
Viagra. The trouble is, Moe doesn’t
want to participate and Charley it turns out has
a deep, dark secret he’d rather not share!
This extremely funny show examines the importance
of close friendships; the realization that emotions
don’t diminish with age and the idea that
feeling wanted make the difference between living
and just existing. |

ONE
HIT WONDERS
A
Musical revue by: Howard Pechet
|
|
We continually hear
great hits and hum along to great melodies, but
often those songs and the artists, come and go. It’s
said that everyone has a chance for 15 minutes
of fame, and so it is with One Hit Wonders. For
every great band or artist, there are about 20
more groups or artists who have had one big break – one
great song to their credit. Many have even won
a Grammy or a Juno award, and then surprisingly,
they disappear from the music scene. We look
at the hits and the hit makers and provide 2 hours
of non-stop musical hits and great memories. |

at work. Unfortunately, schedules change,
flights are delayed and a new turbo-charged Boeing
