An impoverished acting company on the edge of eviction is offered a lucrative engagement. But through a series of riotous mishaps, the troupe finds its problems have actually multiplied, and that they are about to learn a new meaning for the term "dying on stage."
Mamet's world premiere play School is a brief comic discourse on recycling, poster design and the transmission of information. |

Spring
Moira Buffini's award-winning play is set around a largely forgotten moment in British history; the German occupation of the Channel Islands during WorldWar II. A naked young man washes up on a Guernsey beach. Unnervingly handsome, he's fluent in both German and English but has no recollection of who he is. Patriot or Nazi? Innocent or madman? Or does it depend entirely on your point of view?
Gabriel takes us into the heart of memory, identity and imagination, exploring the lies we tell ourselves and each other to make the darkness light again. |
Sep. 1 - 27 // Directed by Evan Cabnet
Ron is back from his third and final tour in Iraq, and his wife Sara is excited to restart their life together in their new home. When a young marine visits the family, life is turned upside down. Sara’s sister is swept off her feet; her daughter Lacey trades her dresses for combat boots, and Ron gets hungry for real military action. In this disarmingly funny and candid drama, Bekah Brunstetter raises challenging questions about what it means when the military is woven into the fabric of a family, and service is far more than just a job.
Plus a second show coming later this season. |
