HAPPY 30TH BIRTHDAY TO PORT CITY PLAYHOUSE

RIPPED FROM TODAY'S HEADLINES -- It is a hot 4th of July night in the streets of New York when Val Johnson, a black cop, chases down William H. Willis, a white petty thief who has attempted to steal a car. When the thief taunts him beyond the brink, this by-the-book cop’s rage consumes him and what he does within a blink affects the rest of his life. Ripped form today’s headlines, this play is a study of conflict between law and morality.

WONDER OF THE WORLD – by David Lindsay-Abaire - Directed by Chuck Dluhy

Closed: February 2

A WILD RIDE -- Nothing will prepare you for the dirty little secret Cass discovers in her husband's sweater drawer. It's a wild ride over Niagara Falls in a barrel of laughs as Cass embarks on a journey of self-discovery that has her crossing paths with a blithely suicidal alcoholic, a lonely tour-boat captain, a pair of bickering private detectives and a strange caper involving a gargantuan jar of peanut butter, all of which pushes her perilously close to the water's edge.
