THE SEASON 6 PROJECTS
|
 Nadine Schmidt, "Miriam"
Miriam is making an apple pie.
Several years ago, Miriam’s son, Robert, committed a horrible crime and has been sitting on death row ever since. As is the tradition, in the waning hours before the end comes, Robert is granted a last meal. This is a play about monsters and the mothers of monsters. And about how we care for each other. And about how to make a really good apple pie. |
From a farming community in rural Oregon to the big cities of Los Angeles and New York, playwright EM Lewis takes aim at her own relationship with firearms in *The Gun Show.* An actor shares Ms. Lewis’s unique perspective and true stories about America’s most dangerous pastime as if they were her own, with brutal honesty and poignant humor. Leaning neither right nor left, “The Gun Show” jumps into the middle of the gun control debate, and asks “Can we have a conversation about this?”

DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND OUR CONTROL, THE GULL IS ON HIATUS
|
In this hilarious and touching piece, Zachary Cohn tears away any musty old remnants of Anton Chekhov's *The Seagull* by having all 10 characters performed by one actor. It's a robust 90 minute journey and includes a "Narrator" to manage the chaos and provide snarky commentary. Join us for this brand new treatment of one of the most popular and important plays in modern drama. You'll laugh, you'll shed a tear, you'll ask (as people have been doing for 130 years) "what is wrong with these people?!"
