Greater Tuna by Jaston Williams Joe Sears Ed Howard Aug 31 - Sept 22 |
What do Arles Struvie, Thurston Wheelis, Aunt Pearl, Petey Fisk, Phineas Blye and Rev. Spikes have in common? They are among the upstanding citizens of Tuna, Texas' third smallest town, in this hilarious send up of small town mores. They are all played by two actors! In this Off Broadway hit two actors create the entire population of Tuna in a tour de farce of quick change artistry; both of costumes and of comic characterizations. |

Jeff Goode’s THE EIGHT: Reindeer Monologues Nov 30 - Dec 22 |
A dark, dark Christmas comedy. Scandal erupts at the North Pole when one of Santa's eight tiny reindeer accuses him of sexual harassment. As mass media descends upon the event, the other members of the sleigh team demand to share their perspectives, and a horrific tale of corruption and perversion emerges, which seems to implicate everyone from the littlest elf to the tainted Saint himself. With each deer's confession, the truth behind the shocking allegations becomes clearer and clearer. ...and murkier and murkier. |

Jake’s Women Feb 15 - Mar 8 |
America's premier comic playwright makes another hilarious foray into the world of modern relationships.
Jake, a novelist who is more successful with fiction than with life,
faces a marital crisis by daydreaming about the women in
his life. The wildly comic and sometimes moving
flashbacks played in his mind are interrupted by visitations
from actual females that he really must deal with. |

The Mystery Plays
by R. Aquirre-Sacasa June 6- June 28 |
This presents two interrelated one acts. In the first play,
The Filmmaker's Mystery,
Joe Manning survives a terrible train wreck—
only to be haunted by the ghost of one of the passengers who didn’t survive.
In Ghost Children, Joe’s friend travels to a small town in rural Oregon to
make peace with the man who brutally murdered her parents and younger sister sixteen years earlier.
Here we have the mysteries of death, the after-life, religion, faith, and forgiveness—
in a uniquely American way. |
