OLD TOWN THEATRE



Bed and Sofa
Runs April 23rd - May 31st

Cygnet's original production was the winner of 8 San Diego theatre awards including a San Diego Critics Award for Outstanding Musical Revival and a KPBS Patte Award for Outstanding Production.

In Moscow, in 1926, a housing crisis rages. In a cramped apartment, Ludmilla, a put-upon housewife, lives in dreamy complacency with her cheerful despot of a husband, Kolya. One day, Kolya's handsome comrade, Volodya, arrives from the country, but can find no lodgings, Kolya offers him their sofa. When Kolya returns early from a business trip, he is shocked to discover that Ludmilla and Volodya have become lovers. Kolya moves out, but there is still nowhere to live, so he reluctantly returns, now HE takes the sofa, leaving Ludmilla and Volodya the bed. The love triangle plays out as finally Ludmilla leaves the two alone for an exciting and unknown future free from them both. Kolya and Volodya are left to decide who gets the bed and who takes the sofa.

“Fresh and endearing. As original as it is impudent. Jaunty music and jazzy text.” NY Magazine.

“A classy treat.” NY Times

Noises Off
starts Jul 2, ends Aug 23

Directed by Sean Murray.

Doors slam, identities are confused and chaos reigns in this hilarious farce that follows a motley and disorganized theatre company as they rehearse, perform and, well, just try to make it through Nothing On. This Tony Award-winning play will keep you laughing uproariously as the never-ending mishaps continue to snowball out of control.

Ticket prices range from $38 - $42
