COMING ATTRACTIONS
FALL 2012
Race
by David Mamet
directed by Colleen Bracken and Marc C. Johnson
Two law partners, one black and one white, find themselves defending a wealthy white executive charged with raping a young black woman. When a new, female, legal assistant gets involved in the case, individual opinions and prejudices that have been boiling beneath the surface explode into words. Dangerous truths are spoken, and no punches are spared in this provocative, intriguing, controversial, and brutally honest play. ItŐs a play that will long be remembered and discussed. ItŐs a play by a contemporary American playwright known for his masterful use of language. ItŐs a play about race.
Performances: Fridays and Saturdays, November 9 to 24, at 8:00 P.M.
SPRING 2013
DonŐt Talk to the Actors
by Tom Dudzick
directed by Wayne Snover
Fledgling playwright Jerry Przpazniak and his fiance Arlene Wyniarski are a couple of innocents who are suddenly swept up in the whirlwind of the New York theatre scene when one of JerryŐs plays is optioned for a Broadway production. ItŐs a young authorŐs dream. Or is it his nightmare? Everyone involved knows exactly what the play needs in order to make it a hit. The lead actor wants his lines rewritten. The lead actress would be more comfortable with more jokes, and maybe a song. If only Jerry had listened when the director said, ŇdonŐt talk to the actors.Ó
Performances: Fridays and Saturdays, March 1 to 16, at 8:00 P.M.
