A highly provocative playwright of ideas by George Bernard Shaw. The high-minded and articulate Rev. James Morrell (40'ish) is the toast of London, speaking every night on Fabian Socialism and self-improvement. He is married to the ravishing Candida who makes the perfect help-mate. They have some children who never appear, I think. Suddenly, into their lives pops Eugene Marchbanks, a suitably miserable young Romantic poet who has been sleeping in a nearby park. Eugene is pitiful in every way. Which makes him look even more hopeless when he announces that he is in love with Candida and demands that she choose between him and Morrell. Eugene denounces Morrell as a hopeless fraud. Also, on the scene are Burgess, Candida's rapscallion father; Prossy, Morrell's spinster secretary who is, we suspect, in love with her employer; and Lexy the gawky assistant minister.
The dramatic question is raised when Candida says that she will go "with the man who needs her most." Start the discussion --- of the roles of women, of the role of men, of "Morality" vs. "Art," of the role of the artist.

A Thousand Clowns
Location: Adobe Theater
Saturday, August 21st at 1:00 PM and Sunday August 22nd 6:30PM
Production Dates: October 22nd - November 14th, 2010
This benchmark of Broadway comedy produced one of the theatre's most beloved roles: unconventional Murray, uncle to precocious nephew, Nick. Tired of writing cheap comedy gags for "Chipper the Chipmunk", a children's television star, Murray finds himself unemployed with plenty of free time with which to pursue his...pursuits. Lectured by his conventional brother Arnold and hounded by "the system", Murray is paid a visit by bickering, uptight social workers, Sandra and Albert, and finds himself solving their problems as well as most of his own.
"Would be a standout comedy in any season. Filled with laughter and warmth and sweetness and inspired daffiness. One of the quintessential New York comedies."-NewYork Daily News
"An extraordinarily funny play with some brilliantly offbeat lines."-New York Post
Roles: 4 men (25-50) ; 1 woman (25-35); 1 boy (12)

None of the cast is actually six years old. And they don't really look like Charles Schulz' "Peanuts" cartoon characters. But this doesn't seem to make that much difference once we are into the play, because what they are saying to each other is with the openness of that early childhood time, and the obvious fact is that they are all really quite fond of each other.
