Psycho Beach Party

About the Play

Director: Dale Jones
Run: Fridays & Saturdays at 8pm, Sundays at 2pm

Synopsis

*Advisory: Adult content and language

Gidget, beach blankets, and Hitchcockian psychological suspense thrillers are tossed around in the comic mind of playwright Charles Busch and they emerge as a rollickingly wild ride through split personalities, weird attacks, and the challenges of finding your true surf-buddy. Chicklet Forrest, a teenage tomboy, desperately wants to be part of the surf crowd on Malibu Beach in 1962. But the strange attacks plaguing her seaside town just might be the doing of one of her hidden personalities. Hilarity ensues as mischief, madness, and the passionate pursuit of the perfect wave and world domination come crashing over the heads of the audience.

SHAKESPEARE’S R & J

About the Play

Director: Sean F. Gray
Run: Fridays & Saturdays at 8pm, Sundays at 2pm

Synopsis

*Advisory: Adult content and sexual situations

Playwright Joe Calarco says, “Just because Shakespeare understands the human condition, it doesn’t mean it can’t be a good time.”  And so he takes the audience on a theatrical adventure of a lifetime, presenting a version of the well-known teen passion-fueled tragedy as an undercurrent to the emotional growth and challenges faced by four young Catholic schoolboys. In meeting clandestinely to read the classic play together, these boys are invited to examine, not only the insightful brilliance of the Bard, but also the rigidity of their lives. Perceptions and understanding are upended as play-acting turns serious and universal truths emerge.

 

Featuring
Michael Phillips: Student 1 (Romeo)
Brian Brennan: Student 2 (Benvolio, Juliet)
Brendan Kane: Student 3 (Mercutio, Friar Laurence, Lady Capulet)
Cody Hanify: Student 4 (Tybalt, Nurse)

Cock

About the Play

Director: Gregory Cohen
Run: Fridays & Saturdays at 8pm, Sundays at 2pm

Synopsis

*Advisory: Adult content, language, nudity, and sexual situations. Viewer Discretion Advised

Welcome to John’s life.  Having taken a break from his relationship with his somewhat controlling boyfriend, John has managed to fall in love with someone else… a woman.  In this edgy, raw, and witty look at a new kind of love triangle, Mike Bartlett tackles the concepts of sexual identity, commitment, self-knowledge, and family obligations in a way never before seen on stage.  In this intensely gritty and naturalistic production four actors will introduce you to the pain of finding out who and what we all might be and the importance, or lack thereof, of a definition of love, lust, and need. 2010 Laurence Olivier Award for Outstanding Achievement.

Cast in Order of Appearance:
Evan Battle (M)
Leigh Hayes (JOHN)
Lexington Vanderberg (W)

Within war-torn Baghdad, lives a tiger – a wild, captive beast within a man-made cage.  Through the power of theatrical imagination, we are allowed a peek inside the mind of this quick-witted and well-spoken “animal,” as the lives of two American Marines and an Iraqi translator are forever changed by the mayhem surrounding them in the midst of war. Violence, anger, greed, forgiveness, and redemption are examined in funny, touching, and insightful exchanges between man and beast; the living and the dead. Rajiv Joseph’s groundbreaking new American play explores both the power and the perils of human nature, the search for freedom, and the existence of the after-life.
