Meet this season's playwrights, a group of talented up-and-comers, established craftsmen and Broadway legends, who, all together, have nine Tonys and four Pulitzer Prizes. Among them is a man who dropped out of high school after being falsely accused of plagiarism, another who just sold his first screenplay to Hollywood, and yet another who really likes peanut butter.

Let’s Get the Party Started
The party guests are beginning to arrive! There’s the glamorous but jaded married couple (Harry Groener and Mary Gordon Murray, left), the randy colleague, the comely young maid, the mischievous and mysterious uninvited guest... all that’s missing is you! Before you head out to experience Stephen Sondheim's elegant evening of song (which runs Sept. 11-Oct 11), dramaturg Linda Sullivan Baity tells you how Putting it Together came to be.

A New Play, in a Familiar Locale
Opening on the Argyros Stage Sept. 27 is The Happy Ones, a world premiere by Julie Marie Myatt set in our own Garden Grove in 1975. Find out from Associate Artistic Director John Glore why the play is set here and get to know the cast, which includes a man who began his acting career at age four on "Sesame Street" (Raphael Sbarge, left) and another who appeared on one of "Curb Your Enthusiasm"'s funniest episodes (Greg Watanabe).
