THIS RANDOM WORLD
BY STEVEN DIETZ
Directed by Cristine M. Loffredo
November 12 - 21, 2021
We want to believe that serendipity brings us together, but is that just a myth? Mining the comedy of missed connections, THIS RANDOM WORLD asks the serious question of how often we travel parallel paths through the world without noticing. From an ailing woman who plans one final trip, to her daughter planning one great escape and her son falling prey to a prank gone wrong, this funny, intimate, and heartbreaking play explores the lives that may be happening just out of reach of our own.
MARJORIE PRIME
BY JORDAN HARRISON
Directed by Tony Pallone
January 21 - 30, 2022
It’s the age of artificial intelligence, and 85-year-old Marjorie — a jumble of disparate, fading memories — has a handsome new companion who’s programmed to feed the story of her life back to her. What would we remember, and what would we forget, if given the chance? In this richly spare, wondrous new play, Jordan Harrison explores the mysteries of human identity and the limits — if any — of what technology can replace.
THE CAKE
BY BEKAH BRUNSTETTER
Directed by Sara Paupini
March 18 - 27, 2022
Della makes cakes, not judgment calls – those she leaves to her husband, Tim. But when the girl she helped raise comes back home to North Carolina to get married, and the fiancé is actually a fiancée, Della’s life gets turned upside down. She can’t really make a cake for such a wedding, can she? For the first time in her life, Della has to think for herself.
AGATHA CHRISTIE'S MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS
ADAPTED BY KEN LUDWIG
Directed by Kris Anderson
May 13 - 22, 2022
Just after midnight, a snowdrift stops the Orient Express in its tracks. The luxurious train is surprisingly full for the time of the year, but by the morning it is one passenger fewer. An American tycoon lies dead in his compartment, stabbed a dozen times, his door locked from the inside. Isolated and with a killer in their midst, the passengers rely on detective Hercule Poirot to identify the murderer – in case he or she decides to strike again.
Subscriptions will go on-sale this summer.
