8:00pm [8:00pm] All My Sons
Description:
Universal in scope, this American classic is as relevant today as it was when it won the Tony Award in 1947. Joe and Kate Keller, a middle-class couple, have lost their younger son in the war, but Kate cannot give up believing that he is still alive. Chris, their surviving son, falls in love with his brother’s fiancée Ann and brings her home to tell his parents of their new relationship and plans to marry. In the confrontations that follow, cracks begin to appear in everyone’s stories, lies are exposed, and a secret is revealed that could destroy them all. “...reminds us of who we are as a country and a people.” — Variety

[8:00pm] All in the Timing
Description:
Brimming with smart humor and wacky characters, All in the Timing is a collection of six short plays that comment on relationships, historical events, and the human condition. Whether it's three chimpanzees trying to write Hamlet, a man cursed with being in a "Philadelphia" where nothing seems to go right, or Leon Trotsky reliving his death over and over again, All in the Timing combines slapstick humor with incisive comedic insight that will leave you laughing and thinking long after the curtain falls.

[8:00pm] Chicago
Description:
Kander and Ebb’s sexy, sophisticated, and sizzling musical about murder, corruption, greed, and showbiz brings all that jazz to the stage. THE DIRECTOR’S CHAIR: A pre-show conversation with director Jay Berkow will be held at 7pm Thursday, March 25th in the atrium lobby. THE STARS AND MOON CABARET: Enjoy performances by graduating seniors of our Music Theatre Performance program as they prepare for their New York showcase in the spring. Cabarets follow performances of Chicago on March 19, 20, 26, and 27.

[8:30pm] Table Manners
Description:
In the present climate of economic meltdown we need all the laughs we can get, so the return of Alan Ayckbourn's masterly trilogy to the New Vic Theatre stage for the first time in nearly 30 years could hardly be better timed. In the course of these three interlinked plays – you can see and enjoy each one individually, though the experience is greatly enriched by seeing all three – a scruffy and incorrigibly libidinous librarian called Norman, played by Michael Martin, takes it upon himself to seduce his pining sister-in-law Annie, his brother-in-law's control freak wife Sarah, and finally his own semi-detached wife, Ruth. He claims he just wants to make everyone happy; in fact he is the most dangerous of egotists, spreading chaos, confusion and misery wherever he goes. A warm and glowing Angela Melvin wrenches the heart as the youngest sibling, Annie, nursing a sick mother, and waiting in vain for the local Vet, the tongue-tied and awkward Tom played by Shawn Newton, to propose to her. Nate Melvin is wonderfully ferrety as her older brother, Reg, a miserably married estate agent, who bangs on about road routes, tells terrible jokes and suddenly turns with ferocious savagery on his uptight, vulnerable wife, Sarah, beautifully played by Sarah Roddis. Norman’s myopic wife Ruth is played charmingly by Heidi Cernik. Director James Furney has created an innovative “three-quarter round” staging bringing more of the audience into the dining room. Check your “table manners” at the door. Table Manners is the first part of 'The Norman Conquests' trilogy. In this installment, Annie has arranged to spend an illicit weekend with Norman, her sister Ruth's husband, and for this reason, has asked her elder brother Reg and his wife Sarah to look after their widowed mother and the house.
