FRANKIE AND JOHNNY IN THE CLAIR DE LUNE by Terrence McNally
Directed by Jared Doran
The play focuses on two lonely, middle-aged people whose first date ends with their tumbling into bed. Johnny is certain he has found his soul mate in Frankie. She, on the other hand, is far more cautious and disinclined to jump to conclusions. As the night unfolds, they slowly begin to reveal themselves to each other as they take tentative steps towards the possible start of a new relationship

THE SANTALAND DIARIES by David Sedaris, as adapted by Joe Mantello
Everyone’s favorite elf Crumpet, the elf fixated on spastic children, obnoxious parents, nutty co-workers and, oh yeah, One Life to Live, is back
April 2016
THE SHAPE OF THINGS by Neil LaBute
Directed by Elizabeth A. Harris
In a modern version of Adam’s seduction by Eve, THE SHAPE OF THINGS pits gentle, awkward, overweight Adam against experienced, analytical, amoral Evelyn, a graduate student in art. After a chance meeting at a museum, Evelyn and Adam embark on an intense relationship that causes shy and principled Adam to go to extraordinary lengths, including cosmetic surgery, and a betrayal of his best friend, to improve his appearance and character. In the process, Evelyn’s subtle and insistent coaching results in a reconstruction of Adam’s fundamental moral character.
Plans are for their entire season to be performed at their new home, the old St. Patrick Church at 1662 Blue Rock Road in Northside.
