One of the books on President Bush's 2006 vacation reading list was Albert Camus' absurdist tale of senseless murder, The Stranger. In hopes that the French philosopher might shed some light on the recent political climate - or vice versa - Maher's new play The Strangerer collides several of Camus' works with the first... Bush/Kerry presidential debate in 2004.
The formalities of the debate are overturned as Bush and Kerry struggle with the question not of if or why an innocent man should be killed (the man in question being moderator Jim Lehrer), but rather what is the proper manner in which to go about killing him.Read More

The Strangerer is part political satire, part classical drama, part contemporary debate, and a murder mystery with the murderers in plain view.

Baby Wants Candy (BWC) asks the audience for a title of a musical that has never been performed before. The first title they hear then becomes the title and basis for that evening's 60 minute completely improvised musical. BWC is accompanied by a full band.
BWC was founded in Chicago in 1997, and has performed over 1,400 completely improvised musicals to sold-out crowds from Singapore to Edinburgh.
"Baby Wants Candy will impress even your most Sondheim-obsessed friends by performing a completely improvised, one-hour musical. And you thought you pulled impressive things out of your ass?" - Gawker.com

Barrow Street Theater Two of Chicago's most highly regarded Second City veterans, TJ Jagodowski and Dave Pasquesi, are introducing New York audiences to their brand of long-form improvisation at The Barrow Street Theatre. Fans of TJ and Dave forever marvel at their technique, mental dexterity, and uncanny ability to create incredible, hour-long instant plays out of thin air (without audience suggestions).
"The comics TJ Jagodowski and Dave Pasquesi miraculously improvise a one-hour play at every performance. This is an impressive feat of mental athletics, but the results are also observant, complex and frequently enormously funny." - NEW YORK TIMES
