SAVAGE IN LIMBO
11/9-11/25
By John Patrick Shanley
A Savage walks into a bar. She has a purse full of cash and a consuming need to make a change in her life, starting with the apartment she shares with her mother. At this Bronx bar she’s surrounded by other stunted losers, fellow 32 year olds who peaked long ago. Some of them find freedom at the bottom, while others find they’re still alone. Savage in Limbo is a heartrending dark comedy about unrealized potential and realizing you never had potential to begin with.
RED LIGHT WINTER
1/18-2/3
By Adam Rapp
Matt can talk about the world at length even if he’s too emotionally muddled to participate in it. Davis is the eternal life of the party. These college pals take one last stab at their 20s with a trip to Amsterdam, where a night with a beguiling prostitute called Christina changes everything. One of the most provocative plays of the past decade, the Pulitzer Prize-nominated Red Light Winter reminds us that the past – no matter how much you’d like to forget, or what you choose to remember – is never far behind.
APARTMENT 3A
4/12-4/28
By Jeff Daniels
No one donates to public television anymore. Bitter and hanging onto her idealism by a thread, Annie Wilson is fighting the good fight while fighting off the advances of her lovestruck coworker Elliot. When she moves into a new apartment, her married neighbor Donald becomes a confidant, sharing stories of love, loss and scrambled eggs. This is a story about faith of all kinds. It’s never to late for a second chance, right?
LOVE STORIES
7/12-7/28
By Itamar Moses
Nothing is what it seems in these five vignettes about the tactics we use to keep love, and how to cope without it. An interview with a Russian director becomes a passive aggressive altercation. A play is stripped down to the most basic subtext and rebuilt as something else entirely. A writer must swallow his a pride to meet the man who took his place. Through it all, there’s that universal truth about love: it hurts, but you will get used to it.
