A New Play Experience Second-To-None!

Now playing:

two of us on the run

two of us on the run by Steve McMahon
A World Premiere
Directed by Margaret M. Ledford 
Executive Producer: Richard Carpenito

J and C are bored small town American teenage girls who go on the run to find the ‘real’ America and themselves. They procrastinate and fantasize about the best way to run away from home, debate the fundamentals of feminism and what to do once they’ve left home and hit the road. On the open road, reality and fantasy blur. They rob banks, make bombs and discuss sexual, class and gender politics. They meet Brian, an enigmatic bartender, leading to a conclusion where they might fall in love, might commit acts of terror, might kill people, or might just breathe in the night air and decide to go home.

 

Another hit from our 2022 New Play Festival, this is the story of two 16-year old girls on a modern day “Thelma & Louise”-style adventure. This funny, moving, and fast-paced script by a local playwright toys with time, space, and reality while speaking to the difficulties and dangers of being a young woman in America today.  

WARNING: This production contains adult language, the use of a non-firing theatrical firearm, and gunshot sound effects.

After the Feburary 8th at 3PM talkback with Dr. Jane Caputi about Girl Power . . . And Powerlessness. The girls in the play go back and forth between power and powerlessness as they also face, like all young people in a time of ecological destruction and violence, a frightening and uncertain future. 

After the Feburary 15th at 3PM talkback with Maxx Fenning about helping us better understand the issues that LGBT youth are facing today and how we can become better allies.

Mainstage Series

 

The Immpossible Task Of Today

The Impossible Task of Today by Jeff Bower

A World Premiere

Directed by Matt Stabile 

Executive Producers: Diane & John Dalsimer & The David Kimmel Foundation

 

Five years removed from tragedy, Jack, an agoraphobic online teacher has perfected his video game playing skills but severely neglected his hygiene, mental health, and dwindling number of personal relationships. When the grocery delivery guy is one of your best friends, something's got to give, and with the arrival of a home gym, everything will change. Jack truly believes it...even if no one else does.


We close out our 24-25 season with this stunning world premiere - another hit from our 2022 New Play Festival. The script uses humor and hope to explore issues of gun violence, mental health,  and the dangers of social media - all the while reminding us that the only way to move through difficult times is together.
