2003-2004 Season
Homebody/Kabul
by Tony Kushner
From the acclaimed author of
Angels in America comes a riveting story of a family's desperate search for
one of their own. As the search intensifies, the lost woman's husband and
daughter wind up in the center of Afghanistan's capital city of Kabul where no
one can be trusted and every turn reveals a greater peril. Is she alive? Who can
you trust? 84, Charing Cross Road By Helene Hanff Before e-mail and instant messaging, pen pals were the rage. An innocent letter in search of a book begins a 20-year correspondence between a free-spirited American writer and a London bookseller. Even having never met, the pair cultivates an amazing life-long friendship spanning an entire ocean. Take a trip down memory lane as Montgomery Davis and Ruth Schudson join forces once again in this timeless classic based on a true story. Then, stay afterwards for a Talkback and find out what happened to the people in the story after the curtain fell. February 6 - February 29, 2004 The Guys By Anne Nelson Anne Nelson's The Guys was written a short time after the unspeakable horrors of 9/11 based on actual events in the playwright's life. Originally commissioned for off-off-Broadway's The Flea Theater in 2001, The Guys has played to packed houses ever since offering a live action "time capsule", a cathartic release for audience and actor alike. Joan, an editor, and Nick, a fire captain, struggle with having to compose the eulogies for eight of his men that were lost in the collapse of the twin towers. November 28 - December 21, 2003 The Drawer Boy By Michael Healey The Drawer Boy, Michael Healey's award-winning drama and one of the most produced plays in the country, has been called a "new classic" by Time Magazine and is filled with warmth, humor, and unconditional friendship. Two farmers have their quiet lives disrupted when a young, energetic actor shows up on their doorstep in search of ideas for his new play. Morgan and Angus reluctantly welcome the boy into their home, beginning a chain of events that reveal a hidden secret from their past.
