Bright Star

Hayes Theatre Co

The renowned comic actor and author of Picasso at the Lapine Agile provides a wild satire adapted from the classic German play about Louise and Theo Markes, a couple whose conservative existence is shattered when Louise's bloomers fall down in public. Though she pulls them up quickly, he thinks the incident will cost him his job as a government clerk. Louise's momentary display does not result in the feared scandal but it does attract two infatuated men, each of whom wants to rent the spare room in the Markes' home. Oblivious of their amorous objectives, Theo splits the room between them, happy to collect rent from both the foppish poet and the whiny hypochondriac.

Comedy Legends Steve Martin and Martin Short, join forces for their return to Ruth Eckerd Hall! Steve Martin and Martin Short’s The Dukes of Funnytown! is a show that redefines the form in unexpected and profound ways, from two of the funniest, most influential and acclaimed talents of the past century. Their humor is often subversive, but it is always a joyous self-deprecating romp from two comedy masters driven to make each other laugh as much as the audience. Their hit TV Series Only Murders in the Building is currently in its 4th season. Martin and Short’s chemistry and timing on stage reflects a friendship forged over three decades, which developed when they met for the first time on the set of the 1986 film Three Amigos and later during the Father of the Bride movie series.

Adapted from the novel by Agatha Christie. Detective Hercule Poirot is forced out of retirement when his friend, Roger Ackroyd, is found brutally murdered. There’s a locked door, an opened window, and a chair that moves itself. To all three, Poirot asks, “Why?” but finds no answer. Assisting Poirot in the investigation, Dr. James Sheppard provides Poirot with one of the most valuable clues in solving the case. However, with every suspect hiding a secret, the truth proves elusive…for a while.
