1812 Productions performs David Mamet's biting turn-of-the-century comedy Boston Marriage. Anna and Claire, two "women of fashion" who live together, scheme to obtain the objects of their desire. Anna maintains their upper-middle class Victorian lifestyle as the mistress of a wealthy man who provides her with an income and a distinctive emerald necklace. When Claire's attentions stray from Anna, Anna devises a plan that grows in outlandishness, even as it backfires. Featuring Philadelphia favorite Grace Gonglewski, Boston Marriage is a delicious and devilish comedy of luck and loyalty.

Based on the hit film starring Leonardo DiCaprio and the incredible true story that inspired it, new Broadway musical Catch Me If You Can follows the life of Frank W. Abagnale Jr., who uses charm, imagination and millions of dollars in forged checks to create his ideal future. Abagnale successfully poses as a pilot, a doctor and a lawyer -- and wins the girl of his dreams -- before FBI agent Carl Hanratty finally catches up to him. The Tony Award-winning "dream team" behind Catch Me If You Can includes playwright Terrence McNally (The Full Monty, Ragtime) and composers Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman (Hairspray). Learn More

We thought the actors did a great job. We just did not like the play.
