  Callback, a true love letter to the theatre, is a two character contemporary comedy/drama about the forty-year mostly professional relationship between an actress and a director. They both go through struggles, heartbreaks, triumphs, and unexpected discoveries along the way. They are bound together on and off by many things, but what keeps them both going is their overwhelming love of the theater.

  Directed by Carol & Jim McGiffin; musical director Jeff Tarnoff

  Originally produced at London's Mermaid Theater in the 70's, COLE outlines the life of Cole Porter through his music. Linked by short monologues by Porter contemporaries (like Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald) over 50 Porter songs make this show a fitting tribute to his genius.

• JULIE BRETTE ADAMS
