Story: This celebration of the mating game takes on the truths and myths behind that contemporary conundrum know as “the relationship.” Act I explores the journey from dating and waiting to love and marriage, while Act II reveals the agonies and triumphs of in-laws and newborns, trips in the family car and pick-up techniques of the geriatric set. This hilarious revue pays tribute to those who have loved and lost, to those who have fallen on their face and the portal of romance, to those who have dared to ask, “Say, what are you doing Saturday night?”

Story: How much would you pay for a white painting? Would it matter who the painter was? Would it be art? One of Marc's best friends, Serge, has just bought a very expensive painting. It's about five feet by four, all white with white diagonal lines. To Marc, the painting is a joke, but Serge insists Marc doesn't have the proper standard to judge the work. Another friend, Ivan, though burdened by his own problems, allows himself to be pulled into this disagreement. Eager to please, Ivan tells Serge he likes the painting. Lines are drawn and these old friends square off over the canvas, using it as an excuse to relentlessly batter one another over various failures. As their arguments become less theoretical and more personal, they border on destroying their friendships. At the breaking point, Serge hands Marc a felt tip pen and dares him: "Go on." This is where the friendship is finally tested, and the aftermath of action, and its reaction, affirms the power of those bonds.

Story: This musical comedy is about two fraudsters, Lawrence Jameson and Freddy Benson, living on the French Riviera. Lawrence is a cultivated and suave gentleman who cons rich ladies out of their money…and he has been very successful. Freddy on the other hand is a small-time thief who cons women into giving him money by telling made up stories about his sick grandmother. They meet and plan to work together, but soon find out that the small French town they live in isn’t big enough to support two con-artists. So, they issue a personal challenge. They agree that the first person to successfully steal $50,000 from the young and beautiful Christine Colgate will get to stay in town, while the loser gets to leave. The battle between them breaks every ethical and moral rule and escalates into a private war between the contenders, with many twists and laughs along the way. The more desperate their efforts to take advantage of each other’s weaknesses, destroy their opponent’s success, and damage the other’s credibility, the more wickedly funny this musical becomes.
