This comedy was released in 1979, and is like many of Neil Simon’s plays, an autobiographical story about his life. It tells the tale of George Schneider, a writer whose wife has just recently died. In the play, George’s brother Leo, a theatrical press agent and born matchmaker, tries to bring George out of his tailspin by supplying him with mostly unwanted dates. Enter Jennie Malone, who is a spirited, happy woman who spends her time tripping over George’s pent-up emotions and dealing with her wariness born of her recent marital fiasco. This is a touching and hilarious story of relationships that mixes, love, heartache and the frustrations that go along with trying to begin a new life.

The original production of Twelve Angry Men, written by Reginald Rose and adapted for television by Sherman Sergal, is an American classic. It was broadcast live, in 1954 on CBS’s Studio One. The play was then expanded for the Broadway stage, and two years later was made into a screenplay co- produced with Henry Fonda. This play demonstrates how prejudice and blind discrimination can explode into heated tempers, arguments and injustice. There can be no reasonable doubt. The verdict must be unanimous. It is an engrossing drama in which eleven jurors believe the defendant is guilty, and one juror stands up courageously to persuade the others of his innocence.

This comedy-melodrama is about family, friendship, open-mindedness and forgiveness. Mr. Green is an elderly, retired dry cleaner, who wanders into New York traffic and is almost hit by a car driven by Ross Gardiner, a 29 year old corporate executive. The young man is charged with reckless driving and is given a community service sentence of helping the recent widower once a week for six months. It begins as a comedy about two men who do not want to be in the same room together, and becomes a gripping and moving story of getting to know each other, coming to care about each other, and exposing old wounds they have been hiding and nursing for years.

This Neil Simon comedy, winner of the Writers Guild of America Award in 1970, is about Barney Cashman a gentle, middle-aged, married man who is in hot pursuit of the 60’s sexual revolution before it passes him by. Barney is a man of no experience with sexual promiscuity and decides the only place he could take women was his mother’s apartment while she is at work. The question is will Barney feel liberated or humiliated by experienced Elaine, actress Bobbi or family friend Jeannette? This Broadway hit won four Tony awards.
