Donna Orbits the Moon
by Ian August
Featuring: Laura Ekstrand
|
|
|
Something is not quite right with Donna:
She's a loving mother, a devoted wife, and a minor celebrity to all the
bake sale planners in town--but something is making her spacey, and she's
not sure what it is. Therapy is out of the question--and church isn't the
place to share one's distress. Donna will need to pass through space and
through time—all the while listening to an unlikely voice—and try to
break free from her gravitational pull to learn just how she can land.

I Hate This (a play without the baby)
by David Hansen
Featuring: Jason Szamreta
|
|
|
David and his wife Toni learn at her 30
week check-up that their unborn child has died. Jumping back and forth
between two timelines, David tells the story of the 36 hours between
learning this truth and the birth of their first child, as well as the year
that follows—detailing the frustration, recrimination, guilt, sorrow and
ultimate acceptance of their son's death.

Harry Clarke
by David Cale
Featuring: Clark Carmichael
|
|
|
Harry Clarke is the story of a shy
midwestern man who feels more himself when adopting the persona of cocky
Londoner Harry Clarke. Moving to New York and presenting himself as an
Englishman, he charms his way into a wealthy family’s life, romancing two
family members as the seductive and sexually precocious Harry, with more on
his mind than love. With his spellbinding and emotionally nuanced
storytelling, Cale has created a riveting story of a man leading an
outrageous double life.

Forever
by Dael Orlandersmith
Featuring: Nicole Callender
|
|
|
Inspired by her experiences in Paris at
the famed Père Lachaise Cemetery—the final resting place of such legendary
artists as Richard Wright and Jim Morrison—award-winning
playwright/performer Dael Orlandersmith explores the strange way we form
powerful bonds with people who, though unrelated to us by blood, come to
feel like family. Orlandersmith investigates the complex legacy she
received from her mother—a legacy of bitterness, abuse, and frustration,
but also of poetry, music, and art.
