Brighton Beach Memoirs

January 12 – February 3

Written by Neil Simon

Directed by Jo Dodge

Dreaming of baseball and girls, Eugene must cope with the mundane existence of his family life in Brooklyn: formidable mother, overworked father, and his worldly older brother Stanley. Throw into the mix his widowed Aunt Blanche and her two young (but rapidly aging) daughters and you have a recipe for hilarity served up Simon-style.

RipCord

April 19 – May 11

Written by David Lindsay-Abaire

Directed by Karen McCarty

A sunny room on an upper floor is prime real estate in the Bristol Place Senior Living Facility, so when the cantankerous Abby is forced to share her quarters with new-arrival Marilyn, she has no choice but to get rid of the infuriatingly chipper woman by any means necessary. A seemingly harmless bet between the old women quickly escalates into a dangerous game of one-upmanship that reveals not just the tenacity of these worthy opponents, but also deeper truths that each would rather remain hidden.
Brighton Beach Memoirs

Boy gets Girl

June 7 – June 29

Written by Rebecca Gilman

Directed by Emily Loberg

Theresa Bedell is a successful reporter… Tony is attractive and funny… after a second date [Theresa is] convinced they have nothing in common and sees no point in continuing the relationship. Tony, though, thinks otherwise. What at first seems like persistence on his part grows into obsession, and Theresa’s annoyance with Tony turns to terror as he begins to threaten her and those around her. Ultimately, Theresa must fight to save herself from being erased by Tony’s actions—actions that call into question the assumptions at the very heart of romantic pursuit.

Spiral: The Musical

July 1 – July 21

Written by Catherine Kinsman
Contributors: Brenda Lee Eager, Ben Dowling, Kenneth Petersen

Directors: Catherine Kinsman & Robert Salberg
Vocal Director: Jeff Witt
Musical Director: Jon Stuber
Production & Projection Design: Liz Rogers

Spiral the musical illuminates a new kind of hope and quantum spiritual worldview that is undeniably emerging on the planet through the current haze of environmental destruction and human suffering. Everything can change if enough people embrace a unified worldview, and we believe that the music and story of Spiral has a role to play. It’s a story full of heart and passion – a journey into the magnificence of the natural world, ancient wisdom, quantum science and human potential.
