From the internationally acclaimed theatre that brought you War Horse and The History Boys, comes London's biggest smash-hit comedy in years. Due to popular demand there will be another chance to see the comedy One Man, Two Guvnors. Following a sellout run at the National Theatre and in the West End and a successful opening on Broadway, the sublime nonsense of commedia dell’arte comes to swinging 1963 Brighton, in Richard Bean’s helium-fueled adaptation of Carlo Goldoni’s The.Servant with Two Masters.

Bob Boyett and The National Theatre of Great Britain present the comedy sensation , winner of the Evening Standard Award and the Critics' Circle Award. Breakout comic actor James Corden (The History Boys, BBC's "Gavin & Stacey") stars as Francis Henshall ("ONE MAN"). Always famished and easily confused, Henshall agrees to work for a local gangster as well as a criminal in hiding ("TWO GUVNORS"), both of whom are linked in a web of schemes, extortions and romantic associations... none of which Francis can keep straight. So he has to do everything in his power to keep his two guvnors from meeting, while trying to eat anything in sight along the way. Simple.

Falling trousers, flying fish heads, star-crossed lovers, cross-dressing mobsters and a fabulous on-stage band are just some of what awaits at the most "deliriously funny" (Daily Telegraph) play to cross the pond in decades. Directed by Tony and Olivier Award winner Nicholas Hytner, Richard Bean's side-splitting comedy arrives on Broadway this spring, straight from a sold-out run in London's West End..

Above all there is JAMES CORDEN, who is the very embodiment of the show’s artful anarchy. His improvisation with theatre-goers is THE MOST DELICIOUS I'VE EVER SEEN ON BROADWAY.- Ben Brantley, The New York Times

"The National Theatre is on a roll unmatched in its nearly fifty-year history. The longest sustained laugh I’ve heard in years of theatre-going."- John Lahr, The New Yorker

"Can we keep JAMES CORDEN in New York for good? He is so MAD TALENTED and HILARIOUS you just want MORE OF HIM. Corden announces himself as a BLAZING STAR. Hail to the CLOWN PRINCE of this ROYAL SCREAM."- Joe Dziemianowicz, Daily News

"GUT-ACHINGLY GOOD. I cannot remember the last time two hours of dramatic foolishness, lacking the slightest microscopic particle of redeeming social value, filled me with SO MUCH BLISS." Peter Marks, The Washington Post

"THE MOST CRIMINALLY FUNNY THEATER I’VE EVER SEEN. If you’re not having a good time at this show, YOU MAY BE ON THE WRONG MEDICATION."- David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter

"I LAUGHED MY HEAD OFF. The man next to me was so convulsed with laughter that I feared his going into cardiac arrest."- Brendan Lemon, Financial Times

"I dare you to see it and not laugh out loud, a lot."- Howard Shapiro, The Philadelphia Inquirer

Orcas Center is presenting The Butterfly Effect, a play inspired by a worldwide movement of anti-bullying video messages and adapted from local stories by Janet Brownell and directed by Jake Perrine.

"This production is a direct response to the epidemic of gay teen suicides across the country," says director Jake Perrine. "It is a message of hope from our gay island elders to our youth that "it does get better" after the awkward trials of high school. If the faith of even one person seeing it is restored, or one person reconsiders bullying someone else for being different, we will have succeeded in our aspirations. I think anyone who feels "different" could benefit from a vote of confidence at that age. As well, once we understand that those who are "different" among us are people, too – three-dimensional people with hopes, fears, and dreams like anyone else – perhaps we can begin to accept difference and empathize with it, rather than judge and punish it. At the end of the day, we are all 'different'."
