About the Show

The reviews are in: “This production breathes fresh, energetic life into a Broadway treasure.”

Marriage can be wonderful…but, as newlyweds Corie and Paul Bratter are about to discover, it can also be disastrously hilarious in Neil Simon’s classic comedy.

Set in a fifth-floor walk-up in New York City (with no elevator, very important), it’s a play about love, compromise, and what happens when two people realize they just might be perfect for each other in every way except the ones that matter.

About the Show

Love, misunderstandings, and plenty of sharp wit take center stage in Kate Hamill’s sparkling adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. Lizzy Bennet prides herself on good judgment—until the enigmatic Mr. Darcy challenges everything she thought she knew about love and first impressions.

About the Show

Based on Susan Hill’s beloved novel, it’s one of the most celebrated ghost stories ever staged: atmospheric, relentless, and the kind of theatrical experience that makes you question every shadow on your way to the car.

Set in a remote English village, it follows a young lawyer unraveling the secrets of a recently deceased client and the vengeful presence that doesn’t want him to. Just two actors portray all the characters, leaning into what B&B’s performers do best. Chilling, clever, and unforgettable.

About the Show

Another hilarious holiday play from Bag and Baggage! Tickets for their popular winter season shows sell out fast!

Three actors. 90 minutes. Every Christmas story ever written. What could possibly go wrong?

This gloriously unhinged Christmas comedy is exactly what it sounds like: A Christmas Carol. Rudolph. It’s a Wonderful Life. The Grinch. All of it, and more, crammed into a single evening by three increasingly desperate performers who absolutely, without question have bitten off more than they can chew. Rapid-fire parody, breakneck costume changes, and a festive frenzy that is Bag & Baggage doing the holidays the only way we know how: hilariously.

Whether you love the holidays, love laughing at them, or both, this one’s for you. (It’s both, really. It’s for sure both.)
