The Story of My Life by Brian Hill

Fri Jun 1, 2012 - Sun Jun 17, 2012

Season EXTRA

Thomas Weaver, a successful writer, returns to his hometown to perform the eulogy for his childhood friend, Alvin Kelby. He struggles to find the appropriate words, but comes up with nothing but blank pages. With the help of Alvin, who appears from the recesses of his mind, Thomas sorts through story after story of the events that made up their friendship, searching for his role in his friend’s untimely death. We follow the lifelong friendship between the two men, an inspiring story told mostly in song.

Directed by Debra Kent

Opus by Michael Hollinger

The story of a world class male string quartet that struggles with the loss of a member, the recasting of a woman to replace him and the day to day tensions of exacting, temperamental artists struggling to make perfect music on stage as well as to make sense of their lives off stage. This one of a kind contemporary script is filled with quiet drama and surprising humor.

And Miss Reardon Drinks a Little by Paul Zindel

Fri Oct 5, 2012 - Sun Oct 21, 2012

Directed by Debra Kent
Three sisters, each misshapen in a different way by a childhood without order or stability, provide the central focus of this play. Anna is a science teacher convinced she’s had rabies who is now off work perhaps for molesting a male student; Catherine, who has her own life issues, is the sister who cares for her; and Ceil, also in the business of education, has manipulated life often at the expense of the other two. From this twisted mix playwright Zindel created an unexpected, delightful comedy.

Ticket Option become available starting September 5, 2012.

 Ghosts

Ghosts by Henrik Ibsen, translated by Christopher Hampton

Fri Jan 11, 2013 - Sun Jan 27, 2013

Directed by Matthew W. Smith
A brilliant new translation by Christopher Hampton breathes new life into this classic drama. The ‘‘ghosts’’ in this play are taboo topics that cannot be openly discussed. This drama is one of Ibsen’s most powerful works, but also one of his most controversial. Family sins are revisited when a son returns home to dedicate an orphanage in his father’s name and has an affair with a maid that ends in painful knowledge of family truths that have been long suppressed.

Directed by Ellen Finch
Father Matthew McNally has served his congregation well when he suddenly leaves his parish and is pursued by Theresa, a cleaning woman at his rectory, who seeks some kind of spiritual worth. Abby, Theresa’s 16-year-old daughter, confronts him about her guilt at being an evil person. And Garrett, a grocery delivery boy, desperately seeks Father McNally’s advice and guidance in search of his personal and sexual identity. An unexpected crisis brings these characters into confrontation. Faith is shaken and tried as Father McNally faces his own spiritual demons and his greatest fear – living without a connection to God.

 Leaving_iowa

Leaving Iowa by Tim Clue & Spike Manton

Fri Apr 5, 2013 - Sun Apr 21, 2013

Directed by Robb Willoughby
The annual family vacations of a family are remembered as the son tries to take his father’s ashes to a former home only to find that it is torn down. His attempts to get to a final resting place are interspersed with memories of the family on the road on vacations the kids often hated. The actors play themselves as teenagers and parents and as their older selves, all in an imagined car on stage. A sentimental play of good humor that is sweet and often contagiously funny.

Ticket Options become available starting March 5, 2013.

 The_pillowman

The Pillow Man by Martin McDonagh

Fri May 17, 2013 - Sun Jun 2, 2013

Directed by Natasha Randall
With echoes of Stoppard, Kafka, and the Brothers Grimm, The Pillow Man centers on a writer in an unnamed totalitarian state who is being interrogated about the gruesome content of his short stories and their similarities to a series of child murders. The result is an urgent work of theatrical bravura and an unflinching examination of the very nature and purpose of art."-Dramatists Play Service Highly recommended but for mature audiences only.

Ticket Options become available starting April 17, 2013.
