CRITICS ARE RAVING ABOUT HEROES!

"Dreams and laughs.  What else do we need? Heroes has both in abundance."
- The Boston Globe

"One of the funniest comedies I've ever seen."
"Affecting and sympathetic...I found its mood lingering in my mind for days after the performance.  And a new play with that kind of effect is something to give thanks for."
- The Hub Review
 
"It's a story for everyone coping with aging and trying to make the best of it."
 
"Brings glad tidings, comfort and joy for the holiday season."
HEROES 
FINAL TWO WEEKS!
Must End DECEMBER 13

Three World War I survivors plot to escape their veterans home in the hilarious new comedy Heroes by Gerald Sibleyras, adapted by Tom Stoppard.

Featuring Tony-winner Ron Holgate, Tony-nominee Jonathan Hogan and television veteran Kenneth Tigar, Heroes is the story of Gustave, Philippe and Henri, three aging World War I veterans plotting one final adventure. Can they save Philippe from the murderous intentions of Sister Madeleine? Will Henri leave his home of 25 years? Must Gustave really take the 200 pound stone dog with them? Heroes is a heartwarming tale of camaraderie and a moving portrait of the frustrations inherent in growing older.

UP NEXT: FABULOSO
a play by John Kolvenbach
JANUARY 7 - JANUARY 31, 2010

Do you have a friend who is the life of the party? But what if that friend never left and the party never stopped? Teddy and Kate are living a quiet existence in their one-bedroom apartment, until Teddy's long lost friend, Arthur, appears out of the blue, with his fiancée in tow. A screwball comedy of living life to the fullest.
 
"An especially sweet, joyous, and emotionally reassuring comedy...it turns madness into a source of both hilarity and bliss." - The Oregonian
