February 26 to April 3, 2010
Othello
By William Shakespeare
At the bleeding heart of Othello is Shakespeare’s ultimate villain, Iago. Smooth and ever-scheming, Iago is a ringmaster of deceit, with an otherworldly ability to bend others’ wills to his own. His biggest target? Othello, the heroic general who is blind to the devious motives of his subordinate. With a few swift, destructive strokes, Iago causes fatal devastation in the previously charmed life of Othello and his wife, Desdemona. Come join us for Shakespeare’s exhilarating tale of love malformed, truth corrupted, and the bonds of vengeance manifested only in life’s darkest hours. |

Cyrano [Rehearsed]
Directed by Artistic Director, Greg Procaccino
All's fair in love and noses! Just ask Cyrano, Roxane and Christian. Better yet, be a fly on the wall for this twist of the classic story of the large nosed romantic! As the cast arrives for rehearsal, a slight change of plans occurs that throws everyone, maybe even you, for a loop. It's a night of theatre you'll be talking about for a long time... |

Becky's New Car
By Steven Dietz
Ever been tempted to flee your own life? Then you can understand Becky, who lives a predictable, mundane life. She has a decent job at a car dealership, a solid husband and a freeloading psych-major son living in her basement. But, when a socially inept millionaire falls for her at first sight, Becky begins to accelerate out of control, leaving a mounting list of cover-ups along the way. |
