Have you ever been tempted to flee your own life? Becky Foster is caught in middle age, middle management and in a middling marriage—with no prospects for change on the horizon.

Becky is offered nothing short of a new life…and the audience is offered a chance to ride shotgun in a way that most plays wouldn’t dare.

It’s Christmas-time in Fayro, Texas, and the Futrelle sisters – Frankie, Twink and Honey Raye – are not exactly in a festive mood.

This holiday journey through a misadventure-filled Christmas Eve is guaranteed to bring joy to your world!

THE MYSTERY PLAYS Runs Nov. 6-21

Falcon Theatre presents THE MYSTERY PLAYS, Friday-Nov. 21.

THE MYSTERY PLAYS
Falcon Theatre
Nov. 6-21
Newport

Directed by Lindsey Augusta Mercer

Cast: Jared Earland, Becca Howell, Adam Jones, Simon Powell, Nicole Jeannine Smith & Leah Strasser

Two interrelated one acts. In the first play, The Filmmaker’s Mystery, Joe Manning, a director of horror films, survives a terrible train wreck—only to be haunted by the ghost of Nathan West, one of the passengers who didn’t survive. As the police investigate Joe, he investigates Nathan, desperate to understand why he survived and what Nathan’s specter could possible want. In the second play, Ghost Children, Abby Gilly travels to a small town in rural Oregon to make peace with the man who brutally murdered her parents and younger sister sixteen years earlier. The man—the murderer—is her older brother. Like the original medieval mystery plays, THE MYSTERY PLAYS wrestles with the most profound of human ideas: the mysteries of death, the afterlife, religion, faith, and forgiveness—in a uniquely American way.

Young Anne’s diary, written while her family and four other Jewish citizens hid from the Nazis in an Amsterdam attic, was published in expurgated form in 1947.

Middletown

Directed by Charley Shafor

Cast: Rebekah Kay as Susie Keegan, Dick Bell as Walter Keegan, Cate White as Anna Patterson, Aaron Bates as Elliot Cooper, Jeff Neiman as Michael Astor & Kim Eldridge as Nell McNally

A brood of famous and longing-to-be-famous creative artists have gathered at their summer home during the Williamstown Theatre Festival. When the weekend takes an unexpected turn, everyone is forced to improvise, inciting a series of simmering jealousies, romantic outbursts, and passionate soul-searching. Both witty and compelling, THE COUNTRY HOUSE provides a piercing look at a family of performers coming to terms with the roles they play in each other’s lives.
