By the Sea... is a rare triple play, literally. It consists of short works by three of America’s most beloved playwrights. In Dawn, Day, and Dusk, Misters Pintauro, Wilson and McNally offer an examination of family, intimate relationships, loss, longing, and love. Part comedy, part poignant exploration, spiced with an ample dose of sex, you are bound to remember your own special moments by the sea. Directed by Kathy Garofano.

 

 

 

 

Ms. Rebeck known to our audiences from last season’s Mauritius has said, “As a writer, I have always considered it my job to describe the world as I know it; to struggle toward whatever portion of the truth is available to me.”  Our House is a deliciously scathing new comedy that takes on the media-obsessed culture intent on turning even the most sobering crisis into sexy entertainment.  When a real life sociopath demands his five minutes of fame, he comes face to face with a pathology far more sophisticated and dangerous than even he could have imagined.  The collision takes us on a ride we will never forget. Directed by Aaron Wexler.

 

 

 

Originally produced by the acclaimed Steppenwolf Theatre Company of Chicago, 100 Saints You Should Know is a riveting and truthful drama about everyday people in search of God.  At its heart, it is a play about parents and children both literally and metaphorically. With her gentle pen, Ms. Fodor, who lives in Doylestown, has created refreshingly real characters and engaged them in a sometimes awkward, sometimes painful but always compelling dance. Directed by Jack Bathke.

 

 

 

 

Written in 1929, Rope served as the basis for the 1948 Alfred Hitchcock classic film.  For the mere sake of adventure, danger, and the “fun of the thing,” Wyndham Brandon persuades his weak minded friend, Charles Granillo, to assist him in the murder of a fellow undergraduate, a perfectly harmless man named Ronald Raglan. Having packed the body away in a trunk positioned in the middle of their flat, they invite Ronald’s father and a collection of friends to tea. With this all established in the first few minutes of the play, we are left to squirm in our seats as the tension gradually builds to the boiling point. Rope is a most interesting look back at manners and attitudes in the midst of the most bizarre circumstance. Directed by Ken Junkins.
