With Guest Appearance by Malachy McCourt
Sunday, October 4
3 p.m., Sharp Theater
A Couple of Blaguards brings to the stage the wit and wisdom of the McCourt brothers, creating a bubbling stew of McCourt humor and dashes of poignancy to sharpen the flavor.
"These master raconteurs have laced their combined experiences growing up in Ireland, and their escape to America into a vaudeville of comedy, Irish songs and a gallery of relatives, rogues, fools and petty tyrants."

The Government Inspector
By Nikolai Gogol
Directed by Greg Steinbruner
Adler Theater
8 p.m., Oct. 16, 17, 21, 22, 23 and 24,
7 p.m., Oct. 18
2 p.m., Oct. 24
Ah the simple life of a small town! Nothing quite lends itself so perfectly to corruption.
And what is better for stirring the pot in such a small town than an important visitor. And, if that visitor happens to be an Official of the State, who has come to make a report, well, then you have Gogol's masterpiece of graft, greed, bribery, deceit and hilarity, The Government Inspector.
Gogol transports you to a comic universe not so different from our own-complete with a scandal-ridden governor, ponzi schemes, predatory loans and other delights of social disorder. Here is a town desperately in need of a makeover. And the arrival of an important inspector is just the thing to get things moving.
...Or should we say the arrival of someone who looks like he could be an important inspector?
Tickets: Adults: $10 General Admission, $5 with Ramapo I.D.
Paula Poundstone
Saturday, October 17
8 p.m., Sharp Theater
Appearing on stage with a stool, a microphone, and a can of Diet Pepsi, Paula Poundstone is famous for her razor-sharp wit and spontaneity. The Boston Globe said, “Poundstone improvises with a crowd like a Jazz musician…swinging in unexpected directions without a plan, without a net.” Paula is so quick and unassuming that audience members at her live shows often leave complaining that their cheeks hurt from laughter and debating whether the random people she talked to were “plants”.

Not recommended for children.
