Taking Sides
AUGUST 11-12, 2017
by Ronald Harwood
“Harwood’s fierce moral debate is set in the American zone of occupied Berlin in 1946. The play acts as a powerful metaphor for the present and all those post-authoritarian societies busy ransacking their pasts.” —The Guardian
Circle Mirror Transformation
SEPTEMBER 22-23, 2017
by Annie Baker
“The kind of unheralded gem that sends people into the streets babbling and bright-eyed with the desire to spread the word. The play traces the lives of a handful of small-town Vermont residents who gather each week for an acting class taught at the local community center. By the play’s end we seem to see to the very bottom of these souls, and feel how the artificial intimacy of the acting class has shaped their lives in substantial ways.”—NY Times
New Jerusalem
FEBRUARY 2-3, 2018
by David Ives
“Theocracy versus universalist science, a Reformation-era prequel to the Scopes trial, Inherit the Wind with a chilling extra touch of proto-Nazism…Comic imagery renders the ideas tangible without coarsening them…we learn enough to sense both the urgent bigness of Ives’ subject and the power with which he’s captured it.” —Village Voice
The Other Place
MARCH 16-17, 2018
by Sharr White
“Sudden flares of uncontrolled feeling appear like lightning flashes from a sky that was clear just moments before…Gradually our faith in this seemingly most reliable of narrators is undermined by deftly disclosed pieces of information.” —NY Times
Life X 3
APRIL 20-21, 2018
by Yasmina Reza
Translated by Christopher Hampton
“Minimally, millennially chic…swift, sharply phrased, poised and awash with uncertainty.” —Observer
“[An] extraordinary play…The writing is brisk, brittle, funny and lethally accurate.” —Sunday Times
The How and the Why
MAY 25-26, 2018
by Sarah Treem
“A moving portrait of a woman meeting with equanimity an unexpected, often painful series of questions about the choices she made in the past.” —NY Times
