Boeing Boeing by Marc Camoletti Translated by Beverly Cross and Francis Evans The Tony Award winner for best revival on Broadway in 2008, Boeing Boeing is one of the theatre's greatest farces. One cosmopolitan male with an apartment in Paris is living the dream - he has three beautiful flight attendants stopping over whenever their international flights land at Orly. He has it all worked out; the ladies never cross each other's paths. Perfect! What could go wrong? Well, let's base our happiness and success upon the airlines' timetables and find out! Buckle your seatbelts for a fast-paced ride. This flight is pure comic fancy. Please visit New Harmony Theatre website for additional information.

Fences by August Wilson Simply put and by any measure, Fences is an American masterpiece. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, the Tony Award and the Drama Desk award for best play in 1987, Fences enjoyed a 2010 Broadway revival starring Denzel Washington. The sixth play in August Wilson's Pittsburgh Cycle, the play tells the story of Troy Maxon, an aging athlete who never had the chance to break the color barrier in major league baseball and who now struggles against the daily hardships besetting him. A magnificent character study, Fences conveys both the greatness and fallibility that cohabit the heart of a man denied the greater opportunities, struggling to survive both as an individual and to provide for a family in a 1950s steel town. Please visit New Harmony Theatre website for further information.
