Fully Committed
a comedy by Becky Mode
directed by Brendan Applegate

September 16-25, 2011

This devastatingly funny play follows a day in the life of Sam Peliczowski, an out-of-work actor who mans the red-hot reservation line at Manhattan’s number-one restaurant. Coercion, threats, bribes, histrionics—a cast of desperate callers will stop at nothing in their zeal to land a prime reservation, or the right table. Amid the barrage, Sam’s dad wants him home for Christmas, and he’s up for a role at Lincoln Center. While juggling socialites, name-dropping wannabes, fickle celebrities and egomaniacal bosses, can he manage to look out for himself?

Next Fall
a play by Geoffrey Nauffts
directed by George Seylaz

November 11-20, 2011

Geoffrey Nauffts’ NEXT FALL takes a witty and provocative look at faith, commitment and unconditional love. While the play’s central story focuses on the five-year relationship between Adam and Luke, NEXT FALL goes beyond a typical love story. This timely and compelling new American play forces us all to examine what it means to “believe” and what it might cost us not to.

Crowns
a play with music by Regina Taylor
directed by Judith Moss

February 24-March 4, 2012

A moving and celebratory musical play in which hats become a springboard for an exploration of black history and identity as seen through the eyes of a young black woman who has come down South to stay with her aunt after her brother is killed in Brooklyn. Hats are everywhere, in exquisite variety, and the characters use the hats to tell their tales. There is a hat for every occasion, from flirting to churchgoing to funerals to baptisms, and the conclusion finds the young woman embracing hats and their cultural significance as a part of her own fiercely independent identity.

Blood & Oil
a dark comedy
written & directed by Billy Mitchell

April 20-29, 2012

Set in a shabby vacation cottage on the coast of Maine, this is a wicked comedy of twists and mystery. Fraternal twins, Allison and Madeline Wickham, decide to re-connect on their birthday (and the annviersary of their mother’s death) by visiting a local psychic together. When they arrive at Miss Daja’s Sitting Room, however, they are met by a fourteen year old runaway named Camille, who reads their cards, reveals their pasts and exposes secrets the sisters didn’t know they had. The sudden arrival of hospice nurse-turned-amateur clairvoyant Miss Daja brings more confusion and confessions, and the twins’ father, Archie the resourceful milkman, punctuates the action with bombshells of his own.
