"NO EXIT or Closed Session" presents for the audience's consideration a room without mirrors, without time, without "life." Three people find they must confront their own inner demons, their own pasts, their own hell. Jean-Paul Sartre's monumental play has been called one of the most important works of the 20th century. It tells us that "Hell is other people" and the characters in No Exit must find a way to cope not only with each other, but with themselves. It is a fate from which there is no escape, and No Exit.

A psychological thriller - Danny, (a charming psychopath) working as a
bellboy in a resort hotel has seduced Dora, the maid at Mrs. Bramson's
house. When called to account he charms Mrs. Bramson, who employs him as a
live-in handyman. The murder of the blond racy Mrs Chalfont at the hotel is
traced to him. He is shielded by Olivia, Mrs. Bramson's niece, (a strange
unspoken understanding grows between them) but continues to plot the murder
of Mrs. Bramson for her money. Danny and Olivia finally confront each other.

THE MISER A Comedy by Moliere Directed by Elissa Polansky

His unhappy, rebellious children, Cléante and Elise, are afraid to tell him of their romantic attachments: Cléante has fallen in love with the beautiful but penniless Mariane, who lives with her invalid mother, and Elise has secretly promised to wed Valère, a young charmer of unknown parentage who has flattered his way into being Harpagon's chief steward. When Harpagon reveals his own marital designs—he will wed Mariane himself and yoke Elise to the wealthy but aged Seigneur Anselme—children, suitors, disgruntled servants, and the wily Jill-of-all-trades Frosine conspire to foil the miser before the marriages can take place. When Harpagon's treasure, buried in the backyard, is stolen, he rounds up all the suspects and threatens torture and imprisonment. Only the last-minute arrival of Seigneur Anselme, bearing secrets of his own, can unite the proper couples and restore Harpagon to his one true love—40,000 pounds in gold.
