Through March 24

The timeless music of George and Ira Gershwin plus an aviator, a Channel swimmer, exuberant dance numbers, sparkling costumes, romance, comedy, and America in 1927 equals My One and Only.

The plot is classic musical comedy: Captain Billy Buck Chandler, a barnstorming aviator, falls for Edythe Herbert, a former English Channel swimmer and the star of  Prince Nicolai Erraclyovitch Tchatchavadze's International Aquacade . Billy, who plans to be the first man to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean, hopes to win Edythe's hand by taking a crash course in sophistication at  Mr. Magix' Tonsorial and Sartorial Emporial . Billy's wisecracking female mechanic, Mickey, adds a bit of sass as a series of escapades and misadventures keep the potential lovers from finding happiness.

My One and Only features such Gershwin classics as "I Can't Be Bothered Now", "'S Wonderful", "Strike Up the Band", "Funny Face", "Nice Work If You Can Get It", and of course, "My One and Only".

Two strangers, a man and a woman, board a San Francisco BART train at 4:30 in the morning. Alone in the car, the only thing they have in common is that they are both doing the New York Times crossword puzzle. Soon the puzzles they unravel are more intriguing than any crossword could ever be.

Curtain Call Playhouse will present Neil Simon's  Last of the Red Hot Lovers  in various South Florida venues from March 15th through April 14th

Middle-aged and married, overworked and overweight, Barney Cashman wants to join the sexual revolution before it's too late and arranges three seductions: the first, Elaine Navazio proves to be a foul-mouthed bundle of neuroses; Bobbi Michele is next, a 30-ish actress who's too kooky by half; finally comes Jeanette Fisher, a gloomy, depressed housewife who happens to be married to Barney's best friend.

"Mr. Simon has created a great character here...it is extraordinarily funny and yet also charming...as witty as ever, perhaps wittier." - The New York Times.
