Based on the play My Sister Eileen, Wonderful Town won five Tony Awards, including Best Musical, and includes some of the most popular songs of the 1950s! It's the summer of 1935 in New York, when Ruth Sherwood, a wisecracking writer, arrives from Ohio with her pretty younger sister, Eileen, who wants to be an actress. Despite being homesick, the two plucky sisters are determined to forge a life in the big city. Their hilarious romantic adventures (and misadventures) include the wacky denizens of a bohemian Greenwich Village, a spicy Conga Line with Brazilian sailors, a serenade by Irish policemen, the rhythm of Swing; and best of all, you a€™ll learn 100 Easy Ways to Lose Your Man!

Produced by special arrangement with Tams-Witmark, Inc., New York, New York.

Directed by Evan Hoffman.

All performances are held at the Reston Community Center CenterStage Theatre.

If your parents knew everything about you before you were born, would you be here? That is the question posed in this topical drama. Operatic set designer, David Gold, seems to have it all: a loving partner, supportive family and a job he loves when his older sister Suzanne and her immediate family learn she is pregnant. Soon after, her husband (a genetic researcher) discovers irregularities in the child'€™s genetic makeup. The Gold family is faced with an ethical dilemma that forces them to confront issues of bigotry, evolution and the limits of love. Author, Tolins, combines unusual storytelling with pathos and humor for a thought-provoking evening of theatre.

Produced by special arrangement with Samuel French Inc., New York, New York.

Directed by Andrew JM Regiec (Urinetown, Curtains, The Crucible).

All performances are held at the Reston Community Center CenterStage Theatre.

œWho really wrote "GONE WITH THE WIND"? Legendary producer David O. Selznick has shut down production of his new epic movie, fired his best friend, director George Cukor, and Vivien Leigh wants to go home to London. Screenwriter, Ben Hecht, is "˜drafted" for re-writes (but he'™s only got 5 days and hasn't even read the book!) and formidable director, Victor Fleming, leaves the set of The Wizard of Oz to answer Selznick'™s call. How will these three geniuses of Hollywood fashion a screenplay that will become the blueprint for one of the most successful and beloved films of all time! Just when you think it's all fun and games, the tables are turned!

Produced by special arrangement with Dramatists, Play Service, New York, New York.

Directed by Sue Pinkman (The Full Monty, Disney's Beauty & the Beast).
