THREE TALL WOMEN

by Edward Albee

Directed by Betty Diamond

September 23 - October 8, 2011 in the Evjue Theater

Edward Albee’s Pulitzer Prize winning play, Three Tall Women, is one of his most personal.  Based on the playwright’s strained relationship with his adoptive mother, the play examines the meaning of a woman’s life from the perspective of three women of different generations.  Three Tall Women centers on the ruminations of a 90+ year old protagonist whose life is portrayed with searing honesty, caustic wit and compassion. 

Auditions will be held in June 2011 with rehearsals starting the week of August 8.

YANKEE TAVERN

by Steven Dietz

Directed by Greg Harris

February 24 - March 10, 2012 in the Evjue Theater

A stranger walks into a bar....  This is not the beginning of a joke, but the set up of Steven Dietz’s acclaimed dramatic thriller.  He sits silently through the comic and convoluted conspiracy theories of one of the tavern’s idiosyncratic regulars. But when the stranger opens his mouth, a young couple who own the place find themselves caught up in what might be the biggest, strangest, and most alarming conspiracy of all.  Steven Dietz's acclaimed and already widely produced dramatic thriller is a fierce, funny and ultimately mind-bending work of theatrical power that grips you until the final word. What you don't know can hurt you!

UP

by Bridget Carpenter

Directed by Joan Brooks

May 4 - 19, 2012 in the Drury Theater

On the best day of his life, Walter Griffin built a flying machine that reached the clouds. Ever since, he's tried to recapture that moment of feeling completely free. His son Mikey dreams of a different path to freedom: getting rich. And his wife Helen just dreams of a husband who will keep his feet on the ground. UP is a quirky, bittersweet tale about an American family trying to escape the boundaries of the everyday by harnessing the power of the imagination.  Comic, touching, vividly theatrical, the play will leave you thinking.

Auditions will be held in February 2012 with rehearsals starting the week of March 18.
