In this satirical comedy about the medical field, Argan, (a miserly hypochondriac), regularly calls upon doctors to care for his sickness and then tries to reduce the bills. In the hope of getting unlimited free medical care, he decides to marry his daughter to a medical student. However, his chosen fiancé is a dimwit and would never interest his daughter (as she is already in love with a smart and handsome Cleante, who poses as her music instructor). Argan's wife, however, plans to send the daughter to a convent, removing her from the line of inheritance. At the urging of the sensible servant Toinette, Argan fakes his death to test his wife's affection only to discover her contempt. Again with the help of Toinette, the young lovers convince Argan to free himself from his sick body and his physicians by becoming his own doctor.
This was Moliere’s last play (both as a writer and as an actor, since he collapsed onstage playing the main character and died shortly after). This adaptation of the comic text will be performed in the style of Italian Commedia Dell’ Arte.

A contemporary comedy that moves at the speed of lightning, BASED ON A TOTALLY TRUE STORY chronicles the hilarious, bittersweet misadventures of twenty-something New Yorker Ethan Keene. A semi-successful comic book writer by day (he writes The Flash for DC Comics) and struggling playwright by night, Ethan's world is turned upside down when a veteran Hollywood producer decides she wants to turn one of Ethan's unproduced plays into a big-budget horror movie—possibly starring Nicole Kidman. With that tasty carrot clouding his vision, Ethan struggles to be a loving, supportive, giving partner to his boyfriend Michael Sullivan, a Village Voice reporter and budding novelist. On top of which, Ethan's lovable dad announces that he's leaving Ethan's mom for a married woman—and can he please stay with Ethan and Michael until he finds a new place to live? Hearts are broken, lessons learned, and dreams deferred in this quirky, offbeat romantic comedy of manners.

When Anna, an unmarried schoolteacher, is diagnosed with ATD, Acquired Toilet Disease, a fatal new malady with a high risk factor for elementary school teachers, she and her brother Carl take flight to Europe. Anna decides she wants to drown herself in the sensuality of food and sex, while Carl becomes involved in a wild Third Mannish espionage scheme to find a cure for his sister on the Continent. Something is not quite right with the scenario, and the largest hint is dropped when Anna shows slides of their trip to Europe where each frame looks exactly like Baltimore. Carl's quest for a cure dead ends with a mad Viennese quack. Their European idyll is broken by Carl's death, and the tragic revelation that the entire play was Anna's valiant fantasy to keep alive her brother's spirit when she could not save his life. This Obie award winning comedy is intended for 16+ audience members due to mature themes (some sexual themes and language).
