Call for more details

It  all started when Ambrose Groves and Bert Miller, a couple of would-be vaudeville comedians, were crossing the desert headin California way and got booted off the train because someone stole their tickets and all of their money.  After trudging across the desert for a couple of days, they blow into Dead Man's Gulch, the wildest, wooliest, roughest spot in the wild west, where everyone fights everybody and blood flows like Old Faithful.  Now it just so happens that Homer The Kid and his pal, Gun Smoke Carter, the two hardest shootin, hardest ridin cowpokes to straddle a saddle, are expected to breeze into town that day to quell the shootin.  So when Ambrose and Bert hobble in, they are mistaken for the West's most fearless cowpunchers!  Ambrose is taken for the hero, Homer the Kid, and from there on out, it's a knock-down, drag-out of laughs!  Bungling Ambrose winds up doing everything opposite from the cowpuncher's union... he doesn't get the goods on the crooked sheriff; he's completely beaten and soundly trounced by Hoot Owl Pete; practically hung by Stinkweed; and he doesn't get the heroine, Nancy, either!  But he does get things in the most devastating of devastating messes in this hilarious satire on the old West.

"OUTRAGEOUS ADVENTURES OF SHELDON & MRS LEVINE"

 

 by Sam Bobrick & Julie Stein

 

Directed by Ben Alexander

 

Opening  in May

 

Call for more details

This is an exchange of outrageous and hilarious letters between an overbearing mother and her middle-aged runaway son. In this love/hate relationship, Sheldon blames his mother, Mrs. Levine, for breaking up his marriage and ruining his life. His mother can't understand why something so trivial should bother him. Share in the angst, the aggravation, the madness, and the and the correspondence of two people, who although thousands of miles apart, are still to close to each other for their own good.
