Fall 2007 Productions

BALM IN GILEAD

by Lanford Wilson, directed by Yasen Peyankov

“You don’t screw around with Chuckles; you don’t cross Chuckles…You ought to know that”

Awash in the rock-and-drug culture of the 60’s where losers refuse to lose, there is a balm in Gilead to make the wounded whole.

DEAR RUTH

by Norman Krasna, directed by Luigi Salerni

“I’ve got a deposit on a house, a minister and church reserved, and I have to shake hands with a man who’s engaged to my fiancée!”

Comic mayhem flies through the air when a WWII Air Force pilot arrives to claim his girl.  A slight complication:  She’s never heard of him even though she has written him sixty-five love letters!

Spring 2008 Productions

 
THE SECRET RAPTURE

by David Hare, directed by Lou Contey

“This government’s appalling, but on the other hand, given what’s going on, it’s just stupid not to go and grab some dough for yourself.”

As a portrait of our times, it pushes social comedy to the boundary of spiritual inquiry.

HAMLET

by William Shakespeare, directed by Luigi Salerni

“If thou didst ever thy dear father love
Revenge his foul and most unnatural murder”

A contemporized restaging of Shakespeare’s tragic tale of loyalty, love, passion, and devotion.

ROSENCRANTZ AND
GUILDENSTERN ARE DEAD

by Tom Stoppard, directed by Sean Kelly

“Eternity is a terrible thought. I mean, where’s it going to end?”

…wait a minute…aren’t Rosencrantz and Guildenstern the two courtier-spies in Hamlet—the ones whose fateful trip to England is polished off with a single line in the fifth act: “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead?” Yes and no.
