At a large, tastefully-appointed Sneden's Landing townhouse, the Deputy Mayor of New York has just shot himself. Though it's only a flesh wound, Charlie Brock's self-inflicted injury sets off a series of events causing four couples to experience a severe attack of farce. As their tenth wedding anniversary party commences, Charlie lies bleeding in another room, and his wife Myra is nowhere in sight. The first guests, lawyer Ken Gorman and his wife Chris, scramble to get “the story” straight before the other guests arrive. As the confusions and miscommunications mount, the evening spins off into classic farcical hilarity.

Concluding a year in which the Philharmonic celebrates great Wisconsin artists, we finally bring the world to Waukesha with Andrey Gugnin, one of the great young Russian pianists of our time, now residing in Western Europe and making his name on the international scene. He'll bring his extraordinary gifts to one of the very greatest of romantic Russian piano concertos — given its world premiere, once upon a time, by no less than the New York Philharmonic. Juilliard School president William Schuman, and Connecticut Yankee Charles Ives — two of the very favorite American composers of Leonard Bernstein during his tenure as the Philharmonic's maestro — bring our gloriously American season to a triumphant close.
