BREAKDOWN
Glass Menagerie
by Tennessee Williams, directed by Philip Lehl
1st Reh 9/10/19
Opening 10/11/19
In Tennessee Williams’ shattering classic, an aging Southern Belle longs for her youth and dreams of a better life for her children. Her restless son Tom—a would–be poet and the story’s narrator—gets swept up in his mother’s funny and heartbreaking schemes to find his painfully shy sister, Laura, a husband. This quintessential “memory play” looks at the American family at a turning point in world history, and lets us contrast who we are and where we’ve come since the play was first produced in the 1940’s.

The Realistic Joneses
by Will Eno, directed by Matt Hune
1st Reh 12/10/19
Opening 1/17/20
Bob Jones and his wife Jennifer meet their new next-door neighbors, John and Pony Jones. They discuss their lives, giving an inside look at the people who live next door, the truths we think we know and the secrets we never imagined we all might share.[8] Eno said that he wrote The Realistic Joneses because he 'wanted to really just write a naturalistic and realistic play.' Not that 'Realistic Joneses' is precisely realistic. [It reads] like a sitcom broadcast from a weirder, more melancholy world.

Between Riverside and Crazy
by Stephen Adly Guirgis, directed by Bill Pruitt
1st Reh 2/11/20
Opening 3/13/20
Walter Pops Washington is a retired New York City policeman. His wife has died and his son, Junior, has just been released from jail. They live in a rent-controlled apartment on Riverside Drive in New York City. Junior's girlfriend, Lulu, and Oswaldo, a recovering addict, also spend time at the apartment. Walter has been pursuing a discrimination suit against the Police Department, because he was accidentally shot by another police officer.

The Pavilion
by Craig Wright, directed by Kim Tobin-Lehl
1st Reh 4/14/20
Opening 5/15/20
Hailed by critics as an an Our Town for our time, this play is by turns poetic and comic, romantic and philosophical. Peter returns to his twenty-year high-school reunion with dreams of winning back Kari, the girl he left behind after an unexpected pregnancy ended their relationship. Standing in Peter's way is Kari's bitter-as-ever resentment, her husband and the fact that Peter still hasn't grown up. As the night progresses, both Peter and Kari are led, through their interactions with a host of characters all played by a virtuosic Narrator, to face the consequences of choices made long ago and start back into life with newfound strength and bittersweet resolve.
