An Autum Quote
Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting and autumn a mosaic of them all.
--Stanley Horowitz
Something`s Afoot Ends October 17th
This play is a musical spoof of the whodunnit genre which takes a strong satirical poke at Agatha Christie murder mysteries as well as at many musical styles of past years. Ten people are stranded in an isolated English country estate during a raging thunderstorm. One by one they are picked off by cleverly fiendish devices. The bodies begin to pile up in the library as the survivors frantically race to discover the identity and motivation of the cunning culprit.
Music, Magic & Masks, An Evening For Our Patrons
October 23rd, The WestEnd will host an evening of masks and gift baskets, music and food, magic and wine celebrating our second birthday. Our Patrons are being thanked for their tremendous support! You will be receiving notices in the near future.
With the blessings of the archdiocese, Sister has assembled overhead projectors, mimeographed handouts, felt banners, historical facts and hysterical insights as she conducts her class into convulsions of laughter.
Picking up where she left off in Late Nite Catechism, Sister begins with a confession about the goal of every nun - to get herself into heaven first and then bring along as many of the faithful as possible, thereby securing her own wings and possibly the salvation of countless others.
Now it is up to Sister to save the souls of those assembled - also known as the audience! Beginning with an overview of heaven and hell as a Catholic version of Chutes and Ladders, and moving onto her proclamation of new sins for the new millennium, Sister is never hesitant to tell us where we`ve gone wrong. (Needless to say, excessive tattooing and piercing are right up there with pornographic websites.)
And never doubt that she can provide a list of every celebrity currently sharing digs with the devil.
No one is excused from Sister`s firm belief that `sometimes we feel guilty because we are guilty.` Doors open at 7:15, class begins at 8:00. $25/person!

Next Years Productions Announced
Man Of Lamancha - The musical adaptation of Cervantes` masterpiece, `Don Quixote,` `Man of La Mancha` is a play within a play, telling part of the story of Cervantes` brush with the Inquisition as well as the story of Don Quixote de la Mancha, the idealistic persona adopted by an enlightened madman. Don Quixote`s quest for justice, pure and chaste love, and all that is the best in us, is the same quest we all seek as we grow out of our childhood, but too often find is unattainable. There are those moments in our lives, however, and they may come at any time, when we dare to dream... the impossible dream.
Meshuggah Nuns - Those Little Sisters of Hoboken are at it again, and this time the fun-loving nuns are on the USS Golden Delicious for a `Faith of all Nations` world cruise. The ship has run into a terrible storm that has lasted six days and most of the people have become seasick, including the cast of Fiddler on the Roof. You can imagine what fun we will have with this situation.
H.M.S Pinafore - While the H.M.S Pinafore is anchored at Portsmouth, Little Buttercup, a bumboat woman, tries to sell her goods to the sailors.
The Teahouse of the August Moon - The Teahouse of the August Moon (1953), by John Patrick, is a comedy about the process of the Americanization of Japanese citizens on the island of Okinawa during the American Occupation of Japan following World War II.
And more.....
