Town” by The

Thornton Wilder brings us a profound, strange, unworldly significance with “Our Town”. This is less the portrait of a town than the sublimation of the commonplace; and in contrast with the universe that silently swims around it; it is brimming over with compassion.

It's a great opportunity to meet the director, cast and production team that made it all possible. The director, cast and crew will hang out after the show for a question and answer session. Bring your curiosity and your friends to find out what it takes to get a play to the stage.

GREETINGS!”
by Tom Dudzick NOV 7 – NOV 30. The plot of Tom Dudzick’s 5-character comedy begins simply enough. A young man brings home his Jewish atheist fiancé to meet his very Catholic parents on Christmas Eve, paving the way for what seems to be a most interesting (and explosive) family occasion. All of this is soon changed however by a truly incredible event that will make all concerned realize that there is a bond between them and helps them realize that instead of focusing and what makes them different and distanced from each other, they must first face the truth of what ties them together. It’s an antidote, not only for pre-holiday anxiety, but for the apathy of modern life. “Greetings!” is a comedy, a domestic drama, a fantasy and the kind of play that comes along all too rarely. Don’t miss it!
(November 2008) Director Talkback, Sunday, November 9th - Join us for a 20-30 minute Director Talkback chat session following the first Sunday performance of each play. It's a great opportunity to meet the director, cast and production team that made it all possible. The director, cast and crew will hang out after the show for a question and answer session. Bring your curiosity and your friends to find out what it takes to get a play to the stage.
