Steel Magnolias
Presented by Boiler Room Theatre at Boiler Room Theatre August 17-September 1, 2012 A first play which met with immediate critical and popular acceptance in its premier production by New York's WPA Theatre.

THE ODD COUPLE by NEIL SIMON
Presented by Chaffin's Barn Dinner Theatre at Chaffin's Barn Dinner Theatre April 26-May 27, 2012 Simon's play centers on a pair of desperately mismatched roommates--one sloppy and one neat--who are arguably the most memorable pair of characters that the successful playwright has ever written. Felix Ungar, a neurotic fusspot news writer, and Oscar Madison, a slovenly sports journalist. The laughs are non-stop in this classic hit from one of America’s greatest comedy writers.
