Boxcar Theatre presents Sam Shepard's Pulitzer Prize-winning Fool for Love at The Boxcar Theatre Studios. This classic of the American stage is at once funny and horrific and thought by many to represent Shepard at his finest. Mae is hiding out at an old motel in the Southwest. Eddie, her old flame and childhood friend, shows up and threatens to metaphorically and literally drag her back into the life from which she had fled. Their battle plays out as they trade barbs, heartbreak and painful revelations, taking themselves and audiences on an unforgettable journey. Nick A. Olivero directs.

Anything Goes: Cole Porter's Award-Winning Musical

Full Price:
$65.00 - $95.00
Our Price:
$39.00 - $57.00

Showcasing Cole Porter's signature wit and masterful composition, Roundabout Theatre Company's Tony-winning production of Anything Goes features beloved songs such as "I Get a Kick Out of You" and "You're the Top." This timeless tale of boy-meets-girl and the resulting roller coaster ride centers on Billy Crocker, who falls hopelessly in love with a wealthy heiress. When he sees her boarding a boat to London, he throws caution to the wind and becomes a stowaway. Madcap hijinks ensue when his fellow passengers, including the evangelist-turned-nightclub-singer Reno Sweeney and second-rate gangster Moonface Martin, decide to help Billy win his true love.

Such great theatre in such a small space. We are right there in the motel room with Eddie and May and totally involved in their passion and problems. As with the other Shepard plays, this is first rate. Bravo!

Boxcar is doing a bang-up job. Taut, tense play. I esp. liked the actor playing the male lead-- thought he was especially convincing-- but everybody involved was very good. Intimate space and set--you feel like you are in the motel room with the characters, hearing their thoughts. At just 70 minutes or so, this is compact story telling. Well worth your time and cash.
