Book, Music and Lyrics by SHELDON HARNICK and JERRY BOCK
Additional book material by JEROME COOPERSMITH
Based on stories by MARK TWAIN, FRANK R. STOCKTON and JULES FEIFFER
Original Production Directed by MIKE NICHOLS
Originally Produced on the Broadway Stage by STUART OSTROW
Directed by Carlyn Cahill
From the songwriting team of "Fiddler On The Roof" and "She Loves Me" comes a unique evening of three one-act musicals about men, women and a little thing called temptation. The first, "The Diary Of Adam And Eve," is a quirky, touching spin on the tale of the world's first couple, adapted from Mark Twain's "Extracts From Adam's Diary." The second, "The Lady Or The Tiger?," explores the fickleness of love in a rock and roll fable set in a mythical barbarian kingdom. Finally, "Passionella" is based on Jules Feiffer's offbeat Cinderella-story about a chimney sweep whose dreams of being a "glamorous movie star" nearly sabotage her one chance for true love.
Tickets: $7/Adults; $6/LCCC Students, Staff & Seniors 65+; $5/Groups of 15 or more.
THE APPLE TREE is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI).
All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI.

by Eugene Ionesco
Directed by Terence Cranendonk
A hilarious, and certainly unique, satire on the drabness of the English middle class, in which people talk to each other at cross purposes, failing to understand, getting nowhere at all in the matter of communication.
