Repertory Season

 

A Retelling by Ellen Geer of the Play by J.M. Barrie

J.M. Barrie’s beloved fairytale of a boy who never wanted to grow up was written one hundred and twenty years ago. Like the stories of Shakespeare, the adventures in Neverland are ingrained in the vocabulary and hearts of our culture. Ellen Geer’s pondering frames the original script through the eyes of Wendy and her children, encouraging the next generation to never lose the innocence of belief in other worlds and other ways.

A prologue discussion with the cast will take place at 6:30pm before the performance on July 21st. Pay What You Will ticket pricing is available at the 7:30 performance on July 26th.

Translated and Adapted by Freyda Thomas from the Original French by Molière

Directed by Melora Marshall

How do you stop an invasive cultish worm who uses lies of biblical proportion to wind his way into your family life, your town, your city, your country? Through the brilliant storytelling of Molière and Freyda Thomas’ clever adaptation in rhyming couplets, we watch a southern family in the 1980s begin to recognize a taker in their midst in the form of televangelist, Tartuffe. Hilarious mayhem ensues as they recognize the danger, rise up, and remove the culprit.

A prologue discussion with the cast will take place at 6:30pm before the performance on August 11th. Pay What You Will ticket pricing is available at the 7:30 performance on August 30th and September 9th.

By Bernardo Cubría

Directed by Bernardo Cubría and Willow Geer

University Professor Paola Aguilar desperately needs money for…well, she’ll tell you. So when THE Political Party offers her a substantial paycheck to help them understand the Hispanic/Latino/Latina/Latinx/Latine Vote, she reluctantly takes the job. Can she help these political strategists understand all of the nuances of her community to save the election? Or will her own journey ultimately be more important than who controls the White House?

Pay What You Will ticket pricing is available at the 7:30 performance on September 16th and October 3rd. A prologue discussion with the cast will take place at 6:30pm before the performance on October 12th.
