Marat Sade

by Peter Weiss

October 13 - 23, 2011
MARAT SADE is a play-within-a-play and is not historical drama. Its thought is as modern as today's police states and The Bomb; its theatrical impact has everywhere been called a major innovation. It is total theatre; philosophically problematic, visually terrifying, it engages the eye, the ear and the mind with every imaginable dramatic device, technique and stage picture, even including song and dance. The play is basically concerned with the problem of revolution. Are the same things true for the masses and for their leaders? And where, in modern times, lie the borderlines of sanity?

The Sea Gull

by Anton Chekhov

December 1-11, 2011
One summer in the late 19th Century a family and their companions convene at an estate in the Russian countryside. A new play is performed and lives are changed forever as we witness the evolving dynamics of love-young, mature, married, illicit and unrequited. Anton Chekhov's unique characters, including actors, writers, a teacher, a doctor, and wannabes take us on a journey filled with the poignancy of aspiration, success and failure in this tragicomic masterpiece, The Sea Gull.

Tartuffe

by Moliere

February 23 - March 4, 2012
Clutching ever-present rosary beads, shifting uncomfortably within the hairshirt he wears for continual penance, and always eyeing the women as they pass - Tartuffe insinuates himself into a wealthy Parisian household and turns it into wickedly funny pandemonium. This is Moliere's Tartuffe, who's central character is a wily opportunist and swindler, affects sanctity and gains complete trust of the head of a wealthy family while everyone else sees how Tartuffe really is: crooked. Tartuffe is Moliere's comic masterpiece that has been enjoyed by millions for centuries.
