Il Matrimonio Segreto
Boston University Theatre, Mainstage
Presented by Boston University College of Fine Arts
at Boston University Theatre, Mainstage
February 23-February 26, 2012
Music by Domenico Cimarosa; Libretto by Giovanni Bertati; after The Clandestine Marriage (1766) by George Colman the Elder and David Garrick; William Lumpkin, conductor. This farcical domestic comedy features arranged marriages, dowries, feuding sisters, tangled circumstances, banishment to convents, and misdirected romantic aspirations.

Private Lives
Boston University Theatre, Mainstage
Presented by Huntington Theatre Company
at Boston University Theatre, Mainstage
May 25-June 24, 2012
Divorcés Amanda and Elyot meet again by accident on their second honeymoons with brand-new spouses in tow. Fireworks fly as they discover how quickly romance — and rivalry — can be rekindled in Noël Coward's stylish, savvy comedy about the people we can't live with . . . or without.
"One of the funniest comedies of the 20th century!" — The New York Times
