"Delicious! Distinctly original and powerfully poignant." "Great Comedy!"

Through March 19
Actor/Comedian Brad Zimmerman's hilarious and inspiring story
about the grit and passion required to 'make it' as an artist and the sweet rewards that come from never giving up on your dream.
My Son the Waiter: A Jewish Tragedy
is the story of Brad Zimmerman's struggle to fulfill his dream and 'make it' as a comedic actor in New York. One-part standup, one-part theatrical, and all parts uproarious My Son the Waiter: A Jewish Tragedy has garnered rave reviews wherever it has played.
Every mother dreams her children will grow up to be happy, healthy, and successful. Every Jewish mother secretly - and often not so secretly - adds specifics to her wish: A doctor, a lawyer, a dentist, or these days, a Silicon Valley tycoon would make her very happy. Brad Zimmerman's mother has finally adapted to her 'actor-waiter' son's career choice and financial situation: "If all goes well, I think Brad is going to buy a bookcase," she boasts to her friends.

Performed by Sol's Musical Theatre Performance Experiences talented older students!!!
This delightful adaptation of the beloved fable and the award-winning musical is a heartwarming celebration of what makes us special.
Honk! JR. is a heartwarming celebration of being different that is sure to delight audiences of all ages with its sparkling wit, unique charm and memorable score. Witty and hilarious, but also deeply moving, Honk! JR. will serve up equal amounts of laughter and tears.
Ugly looks quite a bit different from his darling duckling brothers and sisters. The other animals on the farm are quick to notice and point this out, despite his mother's protective flapping. Feeling rather foul about himself, the little fowl finds himself on an adventure of self-discovery, all the while unknowingly outwitting a very hungry Cat. Along the way, Ugly meets a whole flock of unique characters and finds out being different is not a bad thing to be.
