An ex professional chorus girl tries her hardest to teach bumbling amateurs some dancing skills for an upcoming recital. Trying to conquer inhibitions, with an overabundance left feet, it is difficult for Mavis, the instructor, to get her pupils to stop quarrelling long enough to dance. Her students are truly a hilarious, motley but lovable crew who finally triumph at their recital.

Much to his surprise, he is visited by the spirit of his recently deceased and estranged older brother, who along with a meddling neighbour, is determined to bring the sparkle back to Ethan's eyes. By coincidence, there's a new school teacher in town who might be just what Ethan needs to help turn his life around. Ethan Claymore will keep your heart warm despite the winter cold!

After 32 years, a marriage shatters into pieces. Acclaimed journalist leaves his wife for a bright young journalist, not much older than his daughter. In a series of intense confrontations, the wife, husband, lover and daughter negotiate the forces of passion, lust, history, responsibility and honour. Darkly comic, highly poetic and uncompromisingly savage.

Three Jewish women meet once a month for tea before going to visit their husbands graves. Ida is sweet tempered and ready to begin a new life. Lucille is a feisty embodiment of a girl who just wants to have fun, and Doris is priggish and judgmental, particularly when Sam the butcher enters the scene. "Funny, sweet tempered, moving" - Boston Globe. "An evening of pure pleasure that will make you glad you went to the theatre" -Washington Journal
