WED NOV 9 thru SUN DEC 4
Cymbeline @ Shakespeare Tavern
Directed by Tony Brown
A chaste princess betrayed and lost, an evil step mother, two brothers unaware of their princely
status. Sound pretty heavy for a romance? Shakespeare has a way of making it all work out in the end. Full of plot devices reminiscent of Othello, Romeo and Juliet, As You Like It and The Winter's Tale, Cymbeline illustrates Shakespeare's power over audiences. Experience the magic!

THU NOV 3 thru WED JAN 18 2006
"A Holiday HAM-icide" @ Agatha's Mystery Dinner Theatre
Nita Hardy's hilarious spoof has us wanting to PIG OUT with her new show. The hammy actor in the annual holiday show "A Christmas Scare All" is mysteriously murdered by another holiday ham - of thehoney baked variety! The actor played Scrooge offstage as well as on, so everyone is a suspect.
"Holiday HAM-icide" is a hilarious look behind the scenes at a mystery dinner theatre where the show must go on, while hunting for the ham-handed killer! As always at Agatha's, the audience participates in the action in the comic murder mystery. Each night, the entire audience has a chance to die laughing between 5 courses of dinner including hor d'oeuvres, a choice of entree' and very cheap wine with the meal.

Raymond Loewy: Designs for a Consumer Culture @ Museum of Design

Opening Reception: To be announced
This engaging exhibition will celebrate the life's work of the father of American Industrial Design: Raymond Loewy. Audiences will travel through the evolution of Loewy's design career and at the same time experience the technological boom associated with mid-twentieth century America. From Loewy's early advertising illustrations, through his works in transportation design for household names such as Greyhound buses, United Airlines, and the Pennsylvania Railroad, to his famous household products including the Sears Coldspot refrigerator created during the post-war era, Loewy's ingenious skill for creating functional yet fabulous design shines through. Some objects in the exhibition will be drawn from the Smithsonian Institution collection.
