2001 Pulitzer Prize Winner David Auburn
Directed by Tom Wojtunik
On the eve of her twenty-fifth birthday,
Catherine, a troubled young woman, has spent years caring for her
brilliant but unstable father, a famous mathematician. Now,
following his death, she must deal with her own volatile emotions;
the arrival of her estranged sister, Claire; and the attentions of
Hal, a former student of her father's who hopes to find valuable
work in the 103 notebooks that her father left behind. Over the long
weekend that follows, a burgeoning romance and the discovery of a
mysterious notebook draw Catherine into the most difficult problem
of all: How much of her father's madness—or genius—will she inherit?

Love can make a woman do strange
things. Like lie about her past. Or give up her career for the man
she loves. Or throw off her princessly raiment and disguise herself
as a young man in order to infiltrate the guarded “men-only” palace
compound of an exiled prince she’s admired from afar, who is
secretly plotting to murder her and usurp her throne. Such is the
state of things in James Magruder, Jeffrey Stock and Susan
Birkenhead’s hilarious, tongue-in-cheek, anachronistic adaptation of
the classic Marivaux comedy “Triumph Of Love.”

Senior Stars is a one-of-a-kind musical and theatrical training and
performance program for senior citizens in Queens. This year
will be the third year
that we will offer the program. Participants are selected
through an audition process open to all Queens residents over
the age of 60. We accept as many senior citizens into the
program as possible. The seniors then go through seven weeks of
training and rehearsals, taught/directed/choreographed by a
Program Director and a Musical Director. The culminating events
are two shows open to the public, where friends, neighbors and
family members have the opportunity to see what they have
accomplished, and applaud their efforts.
