URINETOWN by Mark Hollmann and Greg Kotis September 22 - October 23, 2005 The surprise Broadway hit with the curious title, this triple Tony-winning musical is a howlingly funny sendup of corporate greed, ecological disaster, and musical theatre itself.	A LESSON BEFORE DYING by Romulus Linney October 6 - October 30, 2005 Based on Ernest J. Gaines prize-winning novel, A Lesson Before Dying centers around two young black men, each in his own way trapped in a small Louisiana town in the 1940s, who teach each other about being a man, about heroism, and about living--and dying--with dignity.
BUS STOP by William Inge November 17 - December 11, 2005 Inge’s uniquely American celebration of love in all its forms finds a busload of endearing characters stranded in a midwestern diner during a winter snowstorm. 2005 marks the 50th Anniversary of this classic comedy-drama, it is also Mad Cow Theatre’s 50th mainstage production.	BAD DATES by Theresa Rebeck February 2 - February 26, 2006 If Sex in the City taught us one thing, it's that there is nothing more hilarious than hearing about someone else's bad date. Unfortunately for Haley Walker, she seems to be collecting bad dates the way she collects shoes. Will she find a man she can love as much as her Jimmy Choos?
HUMBLE BOY by Charlotte Jones January 26 - February 19, 2006 The hit of the 2002 London theatre season, Humble Boy is a Hamlet for the twenty-first century - rich, original, intelligent, funny and touching, bursting with ideas and characters that you come to care about deeply.	KID-SIMPLE by Jordan Harrison June 1 - June 25, 2006 One of the hits of the 2004 Humana Festival of New Plays, Kid-Simple is “a radio play in the flesh” - part radio play, part crime drama, and part pop mythology. Jordan Harrison’s play is a stunning collision of Firesign Theatre, John Cage, The Stinky Cheese Man and Sondheim's Into the Woods.
ANTIGONE by Jean Anouilh March 9 - April 2, 2006 Jean Anouilh's modern treatment of the Sophocles classic about a woman whose destiny is to say no to a king was first produced in Nazi-occupied Paris in World War II. One of the great landmarks of Western drama, Antigone is a powerful, gripping, and timeless play.	STOP KISS by Diana Son July 13 - August 6, 2006 Two women’s lives are changed in an instant as they become victims of a brutal hate crime. Diana Son’s award-winning play alternates between past and present – a rare and exhilarating work that makes you consider all the things in your life that matter most.
A DELICATE BALANCE by Edward Albee May 11 - June 4, 2006 Edward Albee's Pulitzer-Prize winning A Delicate Balance is a caustically funny and moving exploration of love, compassion and the bonds of friendship and kinship. This ferocious and funny drawing-room comedy reveals a family who is not what they appear to be.
THE CONSTANT WIFE by W. Somerset Maugham June 29 - July 23, 2006 W. Somerset Maugham delighted English audiences of the early 20th century by illuminating the foibles of high society’s mores with his smart, snappy humor. With The Constant Wife, we find how ahead of his time he really was—or perhaps how little things have changed over nearly a century – a deliciously wise and biting comedy of manners.
