Oscar-nominated, Tony & Emmy Award-winning actor Judd Hirsch stars in Yasmina Reza’s internationally acclaimed, Tony Award-winning comedy ART.
Judd Hirsch ("Numb3rs," "Taxi", "Ordinary People," "A Beautiful Mind") directs and stars in this smart and funny play that explores the value and meaning of both friendship and art when a (nearly) all-white painting ignites an escalating argument among three men, threatening to destroy their long friendship. "Ninety-Minutes of Ferocious Fun!"

It's Neil Simon's hilarious comedy classic of mismatched roommates, but with a twist! Ungar and Madison are at it again! Florence Ungar and Olive Madison, that is, but instead of the poker party that begins the original version, Ms. Madison has invited the girls over for an evening of Trivial Pursuit. But the hilarity remains the same.
The story of a marriage is at the center of this intimate and nostalgic work by Harvey Schmidt and Tom Jones, the authors of "The Fantasticks." The show begins with Michael and Agnes on their wedding day and traces their life together over a period of 50 years, until the day they leave their house to the next pair of newlyweds. In that time we watch them go through their wedding night jitters, raise a family, negotiate mid-life crises, quarrel, separate, reconcile and grow old together, all lovingly to the strains of a tuneful, charming score which includes the standard "My Cup Runneth Over."
