What is the recipe for life? The same ingredients that make for a wonderful life also make for a great theatrical show--Good Cooking, Good Writing, Good Friends, Good Health and Great Haircuts! Recipe For Life consists of several one act-plays written by award-winning writers and performed and directed by award-winning actors and directors. In other words, the best that theatre has to offer. Keep reading for the specific ingredients.
Good Cooking
The art of cooking or not, as it were, is explored in the hilarious one-act by Neil Simon, Danny Simon and Joseph Stein entitled "Tallulah Finds Her Kitchen" with Frances Sternhagen as well as in Tandy Cronyn's story about her mother, Jessica Tandy, whose talent was not always on stage but in the kitchen as well.
Good Writing
Two professors, two students, a limited amount of love and a lot of literature are the ingredients that make up this very A.R. Gurney, very funny play called "The Love Course" directed by Antony Marsellis and starring Maria Tucci, Harris Yulin, Jake Robards and Miriam Silverman.
Good Friends, Good Health, And Great Haircuts!
Kathleen Chalfant (star of "Wit") is facing a bad hair day and a good friend day--her hairdresser who happens to be her best friend--cuts her hair with one hand and comforts her with the other. Chalfant confronts the larger and smaller things in life--her mortality and the perfect haircut--in "The Hairdresser," a heartfelt drama by Susan Charlotte, directed by Christopher Hart.
Cause Celebre/Part Time Productions is a non-for-profit organization dedicated to causes and charity. Its mission is to connect compelling theatre with important causes. Audiences have a chance to see the highest caliber of writing, acting and directing while also contributing to a cause.
Tina's Wish is a nonprofit organization which supports research to create an early and effective test for ovarian cancer and education regarding warning signs for early diagnosis and treatment.

Signs of Life
When a musical has as its setting a concentration camp, singing and dancing don't immediately pop into one's head.

Clybourne Park
Bruce Norris' ingenious Clybourne Park sharply stings and then bites while it dances around the tenuous civilities practiced in race relations.

Hostage Song
"Taking a hostage situation in a nameless war-torn country and turning it into an indie-rock musical, Clay McLeod Chapman's ferocious talent seems to know no boundaries."
<read more>
Venus in Fur
"The fun begins with a crash of thunder, a flash of lightning and the sudden appearance of John Lee Beatty’s set for Venus in Fur at the Classic Stage Company. Adapted by David Ives from Leopold von Sacher-Masoch’s 1870 "Venus in Furs", we are privy to an S and M duet and all that that implies."

Ages of the Moon
"You know Sam Shepard is feeling his age while you watch his play, Ages of the Moon, where two men in their 60's face their upcoming infirmities just around the corner with death not far behind that."
<read more>
Ernest in Love
"It's almost redundant to make a musical out of Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Ernest, but the score of just such a musical entitled Ernest in Love by Anne Croswell (book and lyrics) and Lee Pockriss (music) is charming enough with a nod to Gilbert and Sullivan and with enough of the original play intact that the experience is an enjoyable one."

Zero Hour
"In the bio-play, Zero Hour, Jim Brochu captures the man’s zest for living and his painful anger at things unjust and baffling as well as conveying Mostel’s signature quirks."
