Mainstage


by Wendy Wasserstein

September 29 - October 18, 2009

 A liberal university professor finds her seemingly well-ordered
life as mother, friend, and daughter thrown into disarray when
she accuses a conservative student of plagiarism.
Full of the smart dialogue and easy
wit that made her famous,
Wasserstein’s last play is a thoughtful examination
of politics, family and the unconscious misconceptions
that still divide America.


The Gin Game

by D. L. Coburn
October 27 – November 15, 2009

 

Humor and psychological warfare crackle over a card game
between two quick-witted residents of a retirement home
in this Pulitzer Prize-winning drama. Though neither Fonsia
nor Weller
is quite ready to admit their weaknesses –

or their secrets – their game of gin becomes a metaphor for life
as each one wages an emotional battle against aging.


A Christmas Carol
by Charles Dickens
November 27 - December 24, 2009

 
This enchanting production which has been a
holiday favorite for 13 seasons. With it's charming
costumes, sparse scenery and delightful music,
it is the perfect way to enhance the holidays and celebrate
with your family and friends. Ghostly apparitions, festive
dancing & traditional carol-singing
will make you feel the warmth
and spirit as you follow Ebenezer Scrooge
on his ageless journey from miser to charitable citizen
.

 


The Mystery of Irma Vep
by Charles Ludlam

January 26 – February 21, 2010

 

A hilariously exaggerated spoof of Gothic horror and Victorian melodrama in which an unsuspecting woman marries a mysterious Lord, only to discover that the presence of his first wife still haunts the manor house. Complete with vengeful vampires and damsels in distress, Irma Vep is filled with witty literary allusions, subversive political jabs and one of the funniest “penny dreadful” plots ever to take the stage! 


by Athol Fugard

March 2 – March 21, 2010

 

A sometimes comic, frequently searing, and ultimately hopeful coming of age story set during a rain-soaked afternoon in South Africa. Fugard's masterpiece is a powerful examination of the impact of apartheid on the close friendship between young Hally, a teenager from a fractured family trying to find his place, and two black servants.

Mary's Wedding

by Stephen Massicotte

April 6 – April 25, 2010

 

A passionate and heart-breaking love story about a young farmer and his bride-to-be who are separated when he enlists in World War I.
Mary and Charlie tell an unforgettable story from the quiet after a prairie thunderstorm to the terrors of the trenches in this award-winning drama about two
lovers who must surrender their fate
to the uncertainties of tumultuous times
.

Bach at Leipzig

by Itamar Moses

May 4 – May 23, 2010

 

When the coveted position of organ master at Leipzig cathedral is advertised, the greatest musicians of eighteenth century Germany scurry to audition. Waiting for their turns to play, seven discordant characters collide in a hilarious fugue of wit and wordplay, as they deliciously scheme, bribe, and double-cross to win the post that will make one musician a legend.
