.. APRIL 28 to MAY 26
by Douglas Carter Beane.
.
The players include a hard-driving Hollywood agent, her budding screen idol client, a sexy young drifter, and the drifter’s naive, needy girlfriend. We follow the adventures of a movie star who could hit it big if it weren’t for one small problem: his agent, Diane, can’t seem to keep him in the closet. The devilish Diane is doing all she can to keep Mitchell away from the cute rent boy who’s caught his eye and the rent boy’s girlfriend (the rent boy has a girlfriend?). Will there be a happy ending as the final credits roll?.
. .JUNE 9 to JULY 7
by Jose Rivera...On a fantastically rainy night in Los Angeles, a plain Joe named Anibal De la Luna picks up and brings home with him a poor, bedraggled woman hitch-hiker; Celestina del Sol. She is fifty-four years old and she has been pregnant for two years. She is indeed a rare and heavenly creature, a mystic wanderer with no sense of time and an infinite capacity to love. Alone in his little house, sealed off from the wails of the decaying city outside, De la Luna and del Sol come together, joining their bodies and their dreams..
.. .JULY 21 to AUG 18
by William Shakespeare..Macbeth, a man who lusted after power, stole the throne of Scotland from the rightful heir, and threw his country into chaos during his evil reign. He had everything going for him; a warrior of renown on his way home from a great victory, the title of Thane and a loving wife. Until he met three witches who predict his future. He and his loving wife hatch a bloody plan to achieve the witches’ prediction. In the end, his own greed and guilt defeat him..

.SEP 1 to SEP 29
by Thomas Middleton..Beatrice is about to be married, but not to a man that she loves. Her solution? Instead of just giving him his ring back, she pays someone to kill him. There’s a little problem though: The hideously deformed killer is in love with her and wants more than just a few gold pieces for his troubles. Set in an insane asylum, this 17th century Jacobean tragi-comedy has been adapted for modern audiences, amplifying its dark twists and turns, gory violence and kinky sex...
.. .OCT 13 to NOV 10
by Euripides...A satyr play, The Cyclops is a comedy based on the story of Cyclops, made famous in Homer’s Odyssey. Being the only satyr play to survive from antiquity, The Cyclops is the tragic story of Silenus, the servant to Cyclops and chief of the satyrs, and Odysseus who is wrongfully accused of stealing food and ends up in a mortal struggle with the Cyclops himself. The chorus of satyrs only prove to create more trouble in this burlesque, absurd retelling of the Greek Myth.
