WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Adam Bernstein and Todd Betker direct four one-act comedies by two of today's most popular and critically acclaimed playwrights. Christopher Durang's For Whom the Southern Belle Tolls and A Stye of the Eye share the bill with David Ives' Foreplay or: The Art of the Fugue and The Philadelphia. Original dialogue by Brian Ferdman ties the plays together in a way that parodies the world of professional boxing. Laughs are sure to abound, making the audience the winner, and the show itself a knockout.
