This Is Our Youth
Summer 2018 Directed by Saran Polchan Assistant Directed by Jimik Ligon and ODARE In 1982 on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, "This Is Our Youth" follows forty-eight hours of three lost young souls at the dawn of the Reagan Era: Warren Straub, a dejected 19 year old who steals fifteen thousand dollars from his abusive father; Dennis Ziegler, his charismatic, drug-dealing friend who helps put that money to good use; and Jessica Goldman, the anxious and insightful young woman whom Warren yearns for. It's a coming of age story about that moment between adolescence and adulthood when many young people first go out into the world on their own, armed only with the ideas and techniques they developed as teenagers. Cast: Warren Straub - Sam Davey Dennis Ziegler - Stephen Gover Jessica Goldman - Dori Puzuick The Last Days of Judas Iscariot
Spring 2018 Directed by Steve Travis Asst. Directed by Jordan Santillo and Maria Valdisera Written by Stephen Adly Guirgis “The Last Days of Judas Iscariot” uses a modern-day setting to tell the untold story of the fate of Judas Iscariot. The play blurs the line between drama and comedy and centers around a trial in purgatory where a multitude of characters (some biblical, some historical, some fictional) come forward to defend or attack Judas for his betrayal of Jesus that ultimately led to the crucifixion.

Moody’s Point tells the story of the angsty Moody, her friends, Brie, Misty, and Spaulding, and their journey throughout the most traumatic and horrifying place there is: high school. The gang encounters things such as toe-less fathers, annoying middle schoolers, and hobos.

Moving between past and present, Alison relives her unique childhood playing at the family’s Bechdel Funeral Home, her growing understanding of her own sexuality, and the looming, unanswerable questions about her father’s hidden desires.

Spring 2018 Directed by: Victoria Jones and Sam Phillips Assistant directed by: Katie Mihelarakis and Brittany Mancha Written by: Martin McDonagh In an interrogation room in an unnamed totalitarian dictatorship, Katurian, a writer, is being interrogated by two detectives. Next door, Katurian’s mentally disabled sibling Michal waits. The detectives want to know why Katurian’s stories feature gruesome plots about child murder and torture, and in particular, why they seem to mirror a string of recent child murders in the area. This brutal horror-comedy poses unanswerable questions regarding how responsible creative minds are for the effect their work has, where the line between reality and fable is, and whether or not life is worth enduring.

Spring 2018 Directed by Andrew Leite and Tyler Davey Asst. directed by Jessie Demmert and Clarisse Cofrancesco Lightning crackles across a foreboding sky as six unsuspecting guests enter the haunting Hill House for a mysterious dinner, each clutching an anonymously penned invitation and more than their fair share of dastardly secrets - treachery, deceit, murder, blackmail, and COMMUNISM (gasp!). It is not long before bodies begin to pile up around their ill-fated dinner party, and the house's flustered butler attempts to lead them all in solving the mystery of whodunit. But as the night presses on, it becomes apparent that the only competent guest here is the murderer hiding among them. But who could it be?! The adulterous doctor? The stoic widow? The singing telegram girl?! Only one way to find out - stay until the end of this farcical celebration of the Whodunit genre. Or better yet, see all three nights, since like the eponymous boardgame, the murderer is different every time!

Wintersville High School, 1976. Richard Miller is the hip new Social Studies instructor at his crumbling old alma matter, and decides to teach his students about the U.S. criminal justice system by staging a "drug game," where the students play pushers, buyers, narcs, cops, and lawyers, using Good & Plenty candies as the contraband of choice. Bad idea -- after a hilarious unraveling of authority, with switcheroos and betrayals galore, most of the school has landed in actual jail. A brilliant twist on high school madness, and a compelling meditation on democracy, as well.

Once-successful playwright Sidney Bruhl is going through a bit of a dry spell, and unable to write a sure-fire hit. To make his struggle even more frustrating, Clifford Anderson, a student of one of Sidney's writing seminars, has recently sent him a copy of his first attempt at playwriting for Sidney's review and advice--so perfect in its construction that, as Sidney says, "A gifted director couldn't even hurt it." The play, entitled "Deathtrap," is a five character, two act thriller. Out of his desperate desire to once again be the king of Broadway, Sidney, much to his wife Myra's concern, toys with the idea of doing whatever it takes to get rid of Clifford and present the play as his own. However, shortly after Clifford arrives, it's clear that things are not what they seem. Even Helga Ten Dorp, the Dutch psychic from next door, and Porter Milgram, Sidney's observant attorney, can only speculate where the line between truth and deception lies. And in the end, it all boils down to one question: how far is someone willing to go to achieve success? Directed by Sam Phillips Assistant directed by Nicole Nigro and Saran Polchan Cast list: Sidney Bruhl - Tyler Davey Myra Bruhl - Katie Mihelarakis Clifford Anderson - Brendan Eck Helga Ten Dorp - Lauren Henning Porter Milgrim - Sean Kelly Circle Mirror Transformation
In the small town of Shirley, Vermont, five strangers gather in a dance studio to embark on a unique journey together in a creative drama class for adults. Taught by Marty, their free-spirited and supportive leader, the group -- Schultz, a recently divorced, emotionally vulnerable carpenter, Teresa, an earnest and vibrant former actress, James, Marty’s quiet and genial husband, and Lauren, a reserved and self-conscious high schooler -- move through a series of acting exercises, ranging from the heartbreaking to the ridiculous. In this one small room, through these few seemingly trivial games, quiet wars are waged, emotional wounds are nursed, and healing is finally, slowly, able to begin. In Annie Baker’s quiet masterpiece, Circle Mirror Transformation, the audience takes a transcendent journey through the mundane into the profound.

Aspiring composer Artie Shaughnessy lives as a zookeeper in Queens with his Schizophrenic wife, Bananas. He dreams of moving to Hollywood with the woman downstairs, Bunny, who he is having an affair with. This serious story quickly turns into a fast-paced comedy with nuns who want to see the pope, Artie's son gone AWOL armed with a bomb, and the semi-deaf wife of a movie producer. The House of Blue Leaves is a dark comedy containing elements of farce with serious themes and concepts to give a new view on what in life to take seriously.

In this seductive, deliciously dark comedy, Thomas, a playwright-slash-director, has written an adaptation of the classic novel, Venus in Fur, by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch. Frustrated by the lack of talent at auditions for his strong, feminine, and experienced lead, Vanda von Dunayev, he resolves to go home and soothe his ego. However, he is stopped by Vanda Jordan, a water-logged, foul-mouthed actrice, who manages to swing an audition despite her seeming cluelessness. The further the two get into the reading the more the lines of director, actor, and character blur, and the more the night begins to turn from an audition into something else. Full of humor, sensuality, and absolute power, Venus in Fur questions the established roles within gender and theater. "Wildly Intelligent and sometimes frightening... it constitutes a masterful exploration of the art of acting—onstage and off." Cast: Dana Cinque as Vanda Andrew Leite as Thomas Directed by Makensi Ceriani Assistant Directed by Dalton Brough Poster created by Savannah Welsch The Fantasticks
"Try To Remember" a time when this romantic charmer wasn't enchanting audiences around the world. The Fantasticks is the longest-running musical in the world and with good reason: at the heart of its breathtaking poetry and subtle theatrical sophistication is a purity and simplicity that transcends cultural barriers. The result is a timeless fable of love that manages to be nostalgic and universal at the same time. With its minimal costumes, small band and virtually nonexistent set, The Fantasticks is an intimate show that may be performed in virtually any space, engaging the audience's imagination and showcasing a strong ensemble cast. Its moving tale of young lovers who become disillusioned, only to discover a more mature, meaningful love is punctuated by a bountiful series of catchy, memorable songs, many of which have become classics.

How on earth can a few people do the impossible: act through Shakespeare’s entire canon-37 plays- in 97 minutes? By summarizing the canon through football plays, rap songs, and outrageously condensed, comedy mash-up titles (like Four Weddings and a Transvestite), of course! The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) hilariously summarizes all of Shakespeare’s plays, using reenactments and audience participation. It is famous for holding the (self-proclaimed) record for the shortest production of Hamlet at 43 seconds. An extremely popular play that ran in London for nine years and has enjoyed countless productions in various languages playing throughout the world, The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) entertains and teaches audiences facts about Shakespeare while ensuring them a rollicking good time. While the show itself is partially made up of skits and scenes, there is a linear plot line overarching it all and a goal the characters are trying to obtain. Through the use of smart comedy, this show entertains an audience and allows them to spend time getting to know each character.

While at the old woman's estate, Leo and Jack attempt a balance between pretending to be women while reverting back to their own selves trying to woo their love interests at the estate, Meg and Audrey.

Winner of both the Pulitzer Prize and the Tony Award for Best Play, Clybourne Park is a razor-sharp satire about the politics of race. In response to Lorraine Hansberry’s A Raisin in the Sun, playwright Bruce Norris set up Clybourne Park as a pair of scenes that bookend Hansberry’s piece. These two scenes, fifty years apart, are both set in the same modest bungalow on Chicago’s northwest side that features at the center of A Raisin in the Sun. The first scene takes place before and the second scene takes place after the events of A Raisin in the Sun. In 1959, Russ and Bev are moving out to the suburbs after the tragic death of their son. Inadvertently, they have sold their house to the neighborhood’s first black family. Fifty years later in 2009, the roles are reversed when a young white couple buys the lot in what is now a predominantly black neighborhood, signaling a new wave of gentrification. In both instances, a community showdown takes place, pitting race against real estate with this home as the battleground.

Waiting for Godot begins with two men on a barren road by a leafless tree.

Songs For A New World is not so much a standard musical as it is a cycle of songs all tied together with a common theme.

Each bringing you down a different path to and beyond that moment. Jason Robert Brown's first musical is a collection of powerful songs that examine love, life, and the choices we make.

The Cripple of Inishmaan
Set on the remote island of Inishmaan off the west coast of Ireland in 1934, The Cripple of Inishmaan is a strange comic tale in the great tradition of Irish storytelling. As word arrives on Inishmaan that a Hollywood director is coming to a neighboring island to make a movie, the one person who wants to be in the film more than anybody is young Cripple Billy, an unloved boy whose chief occupation has been gazing at cows and yearning for a girl who wants no part of him. Billy is determined to cross the sea and audition for a role, and news of his audacity quickly ripples through the rumor starved community. The play evolves into a merciless portrayal of a world so comically cramped and mean-spirited that hope is an affront to its order. Filled with a cast of extraordinary characters and unexpected plot turns, The Cripple of Inishmaan promises to take the audience along on Cripple Billy's crazy journey of hope and discovery, with a heavy dose of dark humor. Directed by Troy Todd Assistant directed by Collin Van Son Cast Billy: Sebastian Pelligrini Helen: Kelly McNeice Bartley: Jesse Small Johnnypateenmike: Max Levine Kate: Katie Blankemeyer Eileen: Lena Skeele BabbyBobby: Steve Travis Mammy: Amanda Pasquini Doctor: Justin Strupczewski |

True West
True West is a character study that examines the relationship between Austin, a screenwriter, and his older brother Lee. It is set in the kitchen of their mother's home 40 miles east of Los Angeles. Austin is house-sitting while their mother is in Alaska, and there he is confronted by his brother, who proceeds to bully his way into staying at the house and using Austin's car. In addition, the screenplay which Austin is pitching to his connection in Hollywood somehow gets taken over by the pushy con-man tactics of Lee, and the brothers find themselves forced to cooperate in the creation of a story that will make or break both their lives. In the process, the conflict between the brothers creates a heated situation in which their roles as successful family man and nomadic drifter are somehow reversed, and each man finds himself admitting that he had somehow always wished he were in the other's shoes.

Welcome to Almost, Maine, a town that’s so far north, it’s almost not in the United States—it’s almost in Canada. And it almost doesn’t exist. Because its residents never got around to getting organized. So it’s just…Almost.
One cold, clear Friday night in the middle of winter, while the northern lights hover in the sky above, Almost’s residents find themselves falling in and out of love in the strangest ways. Knees are bruised. Hearts are broken. Love is lost, found, and confounded. And life for the people of Almost, Maine will never be the same. ALMOST, MAINE: It’s love. But not quite. Directed by Vince Tran Asst. Directed by Elizabeth Armstrong & Andrew Leite Stage Managed by Matt Schiffman Sound Design by Aaron Metheny Starring Elizabeth Armstrong Dana Cinque Mally Corrigan Stephen Hill Braden Inskeep Bryna Parlow John Reddy Jesse Small Lauren Spinabelli Troy Todd & Natalie Vero |
