Do you have a craving for a sexy comedy with mystery, mayhem and madness? If so, you’ll enjoy a Feast of Laughter, watching frantic cover-ups and comic discoveries when a cheating husband is almost caught by his cheating wife. The recipe for hilarity:  Four lovers, and one put-upon cook. The result - a madcap romp with more turns than a corkscrew. 

Don’t Dress for Dinner simply simmers with action!

“If music be the food of love, play on…”
Red Monkey Theater Group welcomes the New Year with an abridged production of Twelfth Night, directed by Tal Aviezer. Shakespeare’s last comedy, while frequently hilarious, also carries with it the desperate lingering and bittersweet sense of a grand celebration winding down. It is a fitting farewell to the holiday season, as a cast of unforgettable characters indulge in a final big blowout before examining themselves in the cool gray light of day. The illuminating sunlight in this case is provided by Viola (Keri Seymour), one of the Bard’s most beloved comic heroines, as she pursues the love of the melancholy Orsino (Brian Leider). Featuring original live music composed and performed by Lauren Anker.

Poignant, Profound, Mysterious, Funny!

Four original one act plays - four unique messages

''Nobody goes to the theater anymore,'' says Bradley, the well-off 75-year-old WASP father who presides over ''The Cocktail Hour.” As far as Bradley and his wife, Ann, are concerned, modern plays contain too much screaming and disrobing to lure them to Manhattan from their home in upstate New York. They can still remember the ‘old days’ when a quality play consisted of a sophisticated couple, a minor indiscretion, and a happy ending.  

    What Ann and Bradley fear is that their very own son, a full-time publisher and sometime dramatist named John, has written a brutal autobiographical diatribe. John's play, described as hitting ''pretty close to home,'' is called ''The Cocktail Hour,'' and he has traveled to his parents' house at cocktail hour to ask their permission to proceed with it.  Sparks fly!
