SUMMER SHOWS 2008

PROGRAM NOTES

Join us this summer for a look at a struggling Christian boy-band, an exploration of the gender gap, and a return to catechism class.

ALTAR BOYZ
BOOK BY KEVIN DEL AGUILA
MUSIC & LYRICS BY MICHAEL PATRICK WALKER & GARY ADLER
JULY 8 - SEPTEMBER 13 • MAINSTAGE

Altar Boyz, the new musical comedy and critically-acclaimed hit of the New York Musical Theatre Festival, is the hilarious account of a struggling Christian boy-band (with one nice Jewish boy) looking for their big break in the Big Apple.

Their pious pop act, including lyrics like "Girl You Make Me Wanna Wait" and "Jesus Called Me On My Cell Phone," worked wonders on the Ohio bingo-hall-and-pancake-breakfast circuit. But when fate brings them to New York, will the boyz take a bite out of the forbidden apple?

TICKETS: $36 - $46
Showtimes: Tue at 8 • Wed at 2 & 8
Thu & Fri at 8 • Sat at 3 & 8 • Sun at 2

 

LATE NITE CATECHISM
BY VICKI QUADE AND MARIPAT DONOVAN
JULY 24 - SEPTEMBER 13 • STAGE II

Late Nite Catechism is back for a return engagement on Stage II after last season's highly successful summer run.

Designed as part catechism class, part improv, Late Nite Catechism is hysterical entertainment for any Catholic, non-practicing Catholic, ex-Catholic, Catholic under consideration, or even Catholic by association!

TICKETS: $20 - $25
Showtimes: Thu & Fri at 8 • Sat at 3 & 8

 

DEFENDING THE CAVEMAN
BY ROB BECKER
SEPTEMBER 17 - OCTOBER 12 • MAINSTAGE

Defending the Caveman holds the record as the longest running solo play in Broadway history. A hilariously insightful show about the ways men and women relate, Caveman has both sexes roaring with laughter and recognition.

The "outrageously funny and surprisingly sweet exploration of the gender gap" (Chicago Sun Times) has made Defending the Caveman "a comic phenomenon" (New York Times).

TICKETS: $28 - $38
Showtimes: Wed, Thu & Fri at 8
Sat at 5 & 8 • Sun at 2
