THE ARABIAN NIGHTS
Roy Bowen Theatre
10/11-10/21/2012
In ancient Baghdad, a clever maiden stays her execution by spinning enchanted tales of genies and jesters, lovers and thieves for the anxious king. Scheherazade's imagination helps her to win the king's heart even as she earns her freedom. Tony award-winning director and playwright Mary Zimmerman (Metamorphoses) celebrates the redemptive power of love and storytelling in this "exhilarating, imaginative theatrical escape" (Variety) that Chicago Magazine calls a "feast for the eyes and ears."

EIGHTIES EPILOGUE
Mayhem & Mystery Dinner Theatre
9/11-10/30/2012
Oh yes, it's Eighties Night. Against all odds, Jessie always hopes in one way or another to pull in a big crowd for the celebration at the Come Dancing Club. Jessie says, "There's always something there to remind me of the best of times." At this moment, Jessie hopes the Eighties will be it. But Jessie's former business partner knows there is something going on. It's inevitable; people are people, and only time will tell if Jessie's not going to take it or if this is the time to be starting over. One careless whisper causes them to go 'round and 'round until someone hits with their best shot. Who can it be now? Before you jump to any conclusions, the show must go on. You got it. Our lips are sealed until you solve the crime.
