If the Coen Brothers created a mashup of Shakespearean revenge tale and outrageous comedy, it would be EXIT, PURSED BY A BEAR. Join Nan as she forces her abusive husband, Kyle, to watch her and her over-the-top cheerleading friend, Simon, reenact scenes from their horrible relationship as he’s tied to his La-Z-Boy. Will Nan be able to make Kyle see the painful truths of their marriage, or will she leave him to be mauled by a bear at the end to her performance piece? Come see the playwright of Silent Sky, Lauren Gunderson, as she explores the comedy, the pain, and the chance of being eaten, in this comic gem of a play.

THE HATMAKER'S WIFE
2019-06-07 20:00 - 2019-07-06 23:00
In Lauren Yee’s comic fairy tale inspired by the Jewish folktales of Sholem Aleichem, we are introduced to a young woman who moves in with her boyfriend expecting domestic bliss. Instead, she finds discomfort, displacement, and the realization that she needs more. In this witty and often deeply touching comedy, she finds assistance and guidance from the unlikeliest of sources — a wall in her new home. As the wall shares with her the magical tale of an old hat-maker and his long-suffering wife, this sweet and surreal story bends time and space to redefine the idea of family, home, and true love itself.

WATER BY THE SPOONFUL
2019-07-19 20:00 - 2019-08-17 23:00
In this 2012 Pulitzer Prize winning drama, Quiara Alegrîa Hudes, writer of the book for Lin-Manuel Miranda’s In the Heights, introduces us to Elliot, a veteran of the Iraq war. As he struggles to find his place in the world, we are also introduced to the members of an addiction chat room just trying to get through the day. When Elliot’s mother dies, cyber meets reality, anger gives way to understanding, and the resistance to their pasts and each other becomes a chance at forgiveness. In this heartfelt meditation on lives on the brink of redemption, the boundaries of family and community are stretched across continents and cyberspace, as birth families splinter, and online families collide.

HAIR
2019-11-22 20:00 - 2019-11-23 23:00
Rediscover the wonders, pains, and joys within “the age of Aquarius.” HAIR celebrates the sixties counterculture in all its barefoot, long-haired, bell-bottomed, beaded and fringed glory. With an infectiously energetic rock beat, the show explores ideas of identity, community, global responsibility, and peace, as it remains as relevant as ever, examining what it means to be a young person in a changing world. Once a mirror held up to the explosive and experimental life of young people in the 1960s, HAIR now provides all ages a microscopic view of the eternal struggle of youth finding their voice.
This Playhouse production will feature full frontal nudity, simulated drug use, adult language, and other adult situations. Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian.
