The Playboy of the Western World by J.M. Synge In a remote public house in western Ireland, Christy Mahon becomes a local hero after announcing he has killed his father. A wild, farcical, poetic play about reputation, the fickle nature of celebrity and lost opportunity, Playboy caused riots on the streets of Dublin when it opened in 1907, but is now considered a gem of poetic drama.

Memoir By John Murrell On a brilliant summer afternoon in 1922, the last year of her life, Sarah Bernhardt composes her memoir - reluctantly assisted by her devoted but long-suffering valet Pitou.

The Shape of Things by Neil LaBute How far would you go in the name of love? Is nothing sacred in the pursuit of artistic expression? Neil LaBute, the screenwriter of In the Company of Men and Nurse Betty, adroitly explores these questions in this Off-Broadway smash. When a very ordinary college student meets a beautiful charismatic artist, they begin a tumultuous relationship full of passion and deception, where the truth lies hidden just beneath the surface and the audience is forced to wonder exactly what is real. March 11 - 28, 2004
The House of Bernarda Alba by Federico Garcia Lorca Antonio Maria Benavides is dead and buried. His widow, the tyrannical Bernarda Alba, is determined to confine her daugthers to a living tomb of a house for eight years of mourning. But the daughters' growing feelings of desperation and desire yield a plot of passionate defiance that ends in a violent confrontation. The House of Bernarda Alba is the last play written by Lorca, considered the greatest Spanish writer of the 20th century. September 8, 2003 7:30pm |
