STELLA AND LOU by Bruce Graham
Directed by Carol MacLeod
Featuring: Judy Lebeau, David Sussman & Israel Alexander
On a quiet night at Lou’s bar, three kindred spirits seek solace as they navigate changing times, past and present relationships, friendship, forgiveness and the need for companionship even with the passage of time. Frequently funny, quietly poignant and maybe familiar, it is well worth dropping by and listening in.

THIS by Melissa James Gibson
Directed by Judy Rollings
Featuring: Becky Jo Harris, Iris Huey, Steve Fajardo, David Lorellopt & Stefan Linder
Jane is not ok.

This bright, witty, unromantic comedy captures the uncertain steps of a circle of friends backing their way into middle age.

Directed by Brad Bond
Inspired by O’Henry’s classic tale “Gift of the Magi,” “Twist” takes place in a 1940’s radio studio, with a host of wacky characters, compromising situations, and questionable romances. This farcical adventure with a dash of music is the perfect recipe for Holiday fun that will delight the entire family.

Ernestine Ashworth spends her 17th birthday agonizing over her insignificance in the universe. Soon enough, it’s her 18th birthday. Even sooner, her 41st. Her 70th. Her 101st. Five generations, an infinity of dreams, and one cake baked over a century.

ART by Yasmina Reza (Translated by Christopher Hampton)
Directed by Carol MacLeod
Featuring: Dominik Rebilas, Steven Mastroieni & Jason Isaak
A sophisticated, stylish, stimulating, dazzling comedy and yet a moving, disturbing and provocative look at the serious issues of life and art. If a friendship is based on mutual agreement, what happens when one person does something completely different and unexpected. The question is: Are you who you think you are or are you who your friends think you are? [Program | Review ]

MEMORY OF WATER by Shelagh Stephenson [Program]
Directed by Janis Webb
Featuring: Rachel Weiss, Christopher Dorto, Tom Koelbel, Carol Riebe Bennett,
Cindy Pruett & Andrea Hough
"I found the script for The Memory of Water years ago and always wanted to be part of this production. My hope is that our audiences will find the complex characters fascinating, as I do. The play covers many relevant topics: family dynamics, relationships, grief, loss, memory and perceptions. This show offers insight on how our past can influence our present. I hope you will come see for yourself!"
- Rachel Weiss, project producer
