A BODY OF WATER
By Lee Blessing
An attractive, middle-aged couple awakes in an isolated summerhouse above a picturesque body of water. The weather's fine; the view's great; but there's only one problem neither of them can remember who they are. A Body of Water is a coproduction with Stageworks. Both the Gorilla Pass and the Stageworks flex-pass will be valid for this play.

NOBODY DON'T LIKE YOGI
By Tom Lysaght
Celebrate Spring Training just one-half mile from Steinbrenner Field!
Meet Yogi Berra on his return to Yankee Stadium for Old-Timers Day in 1999. Fourteen years earlier, Yankee owner George Steinbrenner had fired Berra as manager, and Yogi vowed that he would never come back as long as Steinbrenner owned the team. So why did Yogi return? As he prepares his speech for the fans in the sold-out ballpark, Yogi tries to figure out the answer to that question for himself.

ELIZABETH AND EDWARD
By Aubrey Hampton
A new play by Gorilla Theatre founder Aubrey Hampton, Elizabeth and Edward dips into the history of Elizabethan England; the world of Marlowe, Bacon, and the man we call "Shakespeare". Based on documented details in the lives of Queen Elizabeth I and Edward de Vere, the play speculates that de Vere was the real author of "Shakespeare"s masterpieces.
