The 2010 Season-
- An Adult Evening of Shel Silverstein Jan. 22nd - Feb. 14 (comedy)
An Adult Evening of Shel Silverstein is a tribute to Silverstein's gleeful and at times ghoulish humor. The evening is made up of ten delectable helpings of Silverstein (Definitely for adults only!) culled from his various play series, most of them more in the mode of sketches than one-act plays. Most set the mind to buzzing with new ways of seeing and understanding, and most are hilarious even while being sometimes painful.
Burn This by Lanford Wilson Mar. 12th – April 4th (drama)
After the death of a dancer, the lives of the people closest to him intersect in ways none of them expect. In this emotional and powerful drama, Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize winning author Lanford Wilson examines the distance between people who have denied themselves the true depth of their feelings. Reflecting on the power of the creative process and the redeeming nature of love, the play tells us to "make it personal, tell the truth, and then write 'burn this' on it."
Anton in Show Business by Jane Martin April 30th – May 23rd (comedy)
Anton in Show Business brings together three mismatched actresses for a Texas production of Chekhov's The Three Sisters, where life reflects art in this award-winning, uproarious comedy.
- Seascape by Edward Albee July 16th – Aug. 8th (dramatic/comedy)
A curiously compelling exploration into the basic tenet of life. It is asking in a lighthearted but heavy-minded fashion whether life is worth living. It decides that there is no alternative.
- Love Song by John Kolvenbach Sept. 10th – Oct. 3rd (black-comedy)
An off-beat romantic comedy that provides an examination of who is insane or what defines insanity. The result is an enjoyable fantasy that dances along the perilous edge of whimsy
- The Turn of the Screw Adapted by Jeffrey Hatcher from the story by Henry James Nov. 5th – Nov. 28th (drama)
Described by Stephen King as "the quintessential ghost story," The Turn of the Screw became one of James' most famous works. Jeffrey Hatcher's adaptation condenses Henry James' story into a heart-stopping ninety minutes with a very minimal setting and only two talented actors, the play is terrifying because each audience member's imagination brings the ghosts to life.
