EgoPo's year-long celebration of Samuel Beckett continues with this imaginative and unique staging of arguably the most important play in modern theater EgoPo's staging of Waiting for Godot utilizes rarely seen revisions to the original script that Beckett made himself when working on the play in Germany This leaner version helps the play move with the rapid comic pace Beckett so desired EgoPo has cast an ensemble of actors in their early to mid thirties to bring to life the infamous tramps By seeing performers who are in "mid-life," the weight of the waiting that has already occurred is heavy, but the sense of how much longer they must wait stretches out just as far Our version tresses the love that exists between the characters and is a tender and comic version that will entertain you whether you are a Beckett snob or brand new to his work

Perhaps in Kansas in August, with a Dream Ballet! Would Stephen Sondheim present the landlord as a tortured, artistic genius who slashes tenants' throats in revenge because they don't appreciate Art? Jerry Herman's version may be a splashy star vehicle, Andrew Lloyd Webber's a rock musical and Kander and Ebb's, set in a seedy Cabaret in Chicago It's hard to imagine a musical tribute as complete—or as funny as—The Musical of Musicals (The Musical!)

A bizarre and brilliantly imaginative excursion into the Theatre of the Absurd, which brings humor and arresting theatricality to the author's singular understanding of those who have been rejected and isolated by society

"The Gnadiges Fraulein, translated from German as "Gracious Lady," marked a startling departure in the work of Tennessee Williams Surreal, with abstract characters and nonsense dialogue, its action is in the spirit of an animated cartoon Williams himself called it a Slapstick Tragedy, "akin to vaudeville, burlesque, and slapstick, with a dash of pop art thrown in" It represents a trend in Tennessee Williams' late years toward the absurdist theatre of Beckett and Ionesco"

If you come off the street, this off Broadway musical
seems just like any other wedding Instead of simply
watching a play, everyone who comes to Tony n’ Tina’s
Wedding becomes the friends and family of the bride
and groom Tony n’ Tina’s Wedding includes dinner
but is not a traditional dinner theatre performance
The very real and extremely funny wedding ceremony
happens first and is followed by the reception There is
a band, which plays songs typical of any current
wedding band The music is so energetic and
entertaining that you will not be able to get off of the
dance floor As the evening progresses the event
happens all around you You can participate by talking
and dancing with the family members who are all
actors or you can sit back and watch your friends and
other wedding guests interact with the wedding party
and guests Any way you do it, it is a wedding you don’t
want to miss!

This high energy farce is set in 1934 as the world famous tenor Tito Morelli, better known as "Il Stupendo", is about to perform "Otello" at the season opener of the Cleveland Grand Opera Through a series of mishaps, the evening speeds into absurdity when Il Stupendo passes out from a tranquilizer and the plot twists and turns as the company tries to cover up the fact that their mega-star won't be singing A three-time Tony winner, Lend Me A Tenor is replete with mistaken identity, plot twists and double entendres that will leave you teary-eyed with laughter
