Wifey Unknown
written and directed by Abhisek Bhattacharya

February 13 – 21, 2026

Location: Greenbelt Arts Center

“Wifey Unknown” revolves around love, estrangement, and redemption. Under the thin veil of humor, it shows the story of a lonely, disabled wife, Rita, roaming like a wraith in the vast mansion her husband, Yardley, built for her. It tells how Rita slowly fades away from the busy life of Yardley without Yardley even consciously realizing what is happening. Then there is Alice, Yardley’s old friend and Rita’s supposed primary care physician, who appears in the beautiful vacation rental with lousy phone and internet connections when Rita suddenly starts “sleep acting.” Alice and Yardley try to determine what is happening to Rita and, in the process, discover much more about themselves than anticipated. As Yardley encounters events Rita and he went through together, he realizes that love needs to be nurtured, shown, and maintained- not just professed. “Wifey Unknown” tells about how a business tycoon dreaming of connecting the whole world loses and re-establishes a connection with his wife.

Auditions for Moon Over Buffalo at MAD, Jan 5 & 6

Auditions for Moon Over Buffalo at MAD, Jan 5 & 6

MAD Theater announces auditions for:
Moon Over Buffalo
by Ken Ludwig
directed by Randy Barth
produced by Sue Breon

Audition dates: January 5 & 6, 2026

Performance dates: April 10 – 25, 2026.

Location: Goddard Space Flight Center’s MAD Theater.

The play is a comedy about a husband-and-wife acting duo, George and Charlotte Hay, who are performing in repertory in Buffalo, New York in 1953. Their careers are on the brink of disaster when they learn famous film director Frank Capra might be coming to see their show, giving them a potential last chance at Hollywood stardom. However, everything that can go wrong does go wrong, including a visit from their daughter’s fiancé, confusion over which play they are performing, and complications from Charlotte’s mother. The style is similar to Ludwig’s Lend Me a Tenor, which Randy directed for MAD in 1996. With slamming doors, mistaken identities, and costume malfunctions, the hilarious play has all of the classic elements of a farce.

Auditions will be January 5, 6 with call-backs January 9 if needed. The current plan is for rehearsals February 2-April 8 and eight performances April 10-25, but these may change as we work through details. More information will be provided in the December MADogram and on the MAD website.
