ALL SHOWS are Thursday. Friday and Saturday at 8.00PM, with select Sunday and matinee performances on a to-be-announced basis.

OUR BOX OFFICE opens 30 minutes before curtain. Our seating is open, so reservations, while they’ll be honored, will not guarantee your choice of seat unless you are a member.

OUR BOX OFFICE LINE will ask for your name, telephone number, number of seats, price range (concessions for students or seniors or general admission), and the performance you wish to attend. Generally, your call will not be returned unless you instruct us otherwise AND/OR if we cannot seat you.

THE SEAFARER

 

By Conor McPherson

Directed by Robert Waterhouse and featuring Richard Lambert

Fresh from London's Royal National Theatre (and a multi-Tony-nominated run on Broadway) comes THE SEAFARER by Conor McPherson. A chilling tale of buried secrets, this incisively funny drama centers on a group of hard-drinking Irishmen who gather for a game of cards on Christmas Eve, and find a Joker in their midst.


February 12 - March 7 2009

 

THE BEAUTY QUEEN OF LEENANE

By Martin McDonagh

With Betsy Bittar and Mary Loftus

From the author of THE PILLOWMAN and the hit film IN BRUGES, this triple award-winning, startling portrait of a middle-aged virgin battling her aging mother for a chance for love is alternately poignant, shocking, and darkly funny.

 

April 2 - April 25

 

BLACKBIRD

By David Harrower

Directed by Kelli Bocock-Natale & Starring Richard Lambert



A middle-aged man is reunited with his lover who was aged only 12 during their affair. This beautifully written, poetic play is a hauntingly vivid portrait of a taboo relationship that challenges and tests our preconceptions again and again.



May 7 - May 30

 

FREUD AND THE SANDMAN

Based on "The Sandman" by E.T.A. Hoffman and "The Uncanny" by Sigmund Freud

Directed and devised by Robert Waterhouse

Music by Paul Kozlowski



As World War 1 draws to a close, Sigmund Freud returns to a hidden manuscript that attempts to reason with the spells cast by a childhood tale that won't relinquish its uncanny secrets.
