The Vagina Monologues
The Obie Award-winning Vagina Monologues introduces a wildly divergent gathering of female voices, including a six-year-old girl, a septuagenarian New Yorker, a vagina workshop participant, a woman who witnesses the birth of her granddaughter, a Bosnian survivor of rape, and a feminist happy to have found a man who "liked to look at it."
Through the distinct experiences shared by these women, The Vagina Monologues takes its audience on both a moving and comical tour of the ultimate forbidden zone, while celebrating female sexuality in all its complexity and mystery.

Miss Saigon
The Encore Repertory Company presents Miss Saigon ... A classic love story is brought up-to-date in one of the most stunning theatrical spectacles of all time. In "Miss Saigon," Alain Boublil and Claude-Michael Schönberg (the creators of "Les Misérables"), along with Richard Maltby, Jr., bring Puccini's "Madame Butterfly" to the modern world in a moving testament to the human spirit and a scathing indictment of the tragedies of war.
In the turmoil of the Vietnam War, an American soldier and a Vietnamese girl fall in love, only to be separated during the fall of Saigon. Their struggles to find each other over the ensuing years ends in tragedy for her and a fighting chance for the child he never knew he had.
An international sensation, "Miss Saigon" is an epic, daring pop opera that is universal in its emotional power even as it deals with controversial, contemporary issues. Its sung-through pop-inflected score gives a multi-ethnic cast of strong pop singers an opportunity to shine, in showstopping numbers like "I Still Believe," "Why God Why?" and "The American Dream." Meanwhile, its fluid cinematic structure gives directors and designers a field day.
Raw and uncompromising, "Miss Saigon" is an intensely personal story of the losses we suffer and the sacrifices we make in a world gone mad.

Rent
Jonathan Larson's Pulitzer-prize winning Broadway musical based loosely on Puccini's opera La Bohème. It follows a year in the lives of seven friends living the disappearing Bohemian lifestyle in New York's East Village. AIDS and both its physical and emotional complications pervade the lives of Roger, Mimi, Tom, and Angel; Maureen deals with her chronic infidelity through performance art; her partner, Joanne, wonders if their relationship is worth the trouble; Benjamin has sold out his Bohemian ideals in exchange for a hefty income and is on the outs with his former friends; and Mark, an aspiring filmmaker, feels like an outsider to life in general, always behind the camera recording the events but never playing a part.
