That deliriously delightful and ever-effervescent chanteuse Luscious (actress and singer, Kike Adedeji) will wrap her mouth around the men who never disappoint - Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, Brian Wilson – and talk about the men who do. In this fabulously fun cabaret show, Luscious finds herself single again but this is not your usual story of loves lost but a wild ride that takes us on a geographical safari of men! A Nigerian in London, a German from New York, a Mexican without papers in San Francisco, all have their songs and say. Come join the fun!

In a tremendous coup for the biggest little theater company in town, Shotgun Players has secured the rights to Tom Stoppard’s impressive trilogy. This season Shotgun is producing Part Two: Shipwreck, along with a few special performances of Part One: Voyage, in repertory. In Voyage, we met our young heroes in the first blushes of revolutionary thought and love. Now with Shipwreck we find them in their 30s. The optimism of their early years has hit the rocks of marital infidelity, social anarchy, and a Tsar that has no intention of stepping down. The stakes go up dramatically in this next great duel between the heart and mind
