THE SUNSET LIMITED
By Cormac McCarthy
Directed by Brian McDonald
The Sunset Limited is a searing two-person drama which combines pathos and humor as the lives and beliefs of two strangers converge. A despondent college professor, played by Emmy Award-winner Joe Spano (Rubicon productions of Sylvia, R. Buckminster Fuller… and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?), is rescued from desperate circumstances by a former convict. This beautifully crafted, thought-provoking, and deeply intimate work asks us to consider what is true and important in life. The Chicago Times reviewer described The Sunset Limited as, “… nothing short of dazzling. So powerful, so stimulating!”

A MOON FOR THE MISBEGOTTEN Drama
By Eugene O’Neill
Directed by Jenny Sullivan
Two lost souls catch a glimpse of happiness in the moonlight. But is their newly lit fire strong enough to withstand a lifetime of disappointment and regret? Set in and around a dilapidated Connecticut farmhouse in 1923, this American classic follows Josie Hogan, a boisterous Irish woman with a quick tongue and a tender heart; and Jim Tyrone, a tortured soul haunted by the loss of his mother. Pulitzer Prize-winner and Nobel laureate Eugene O’Neill creates a mythic tale of old sins and the power of love. Featuring Joseph Fuqua (Hamlet, Picasso at the Lapin Agile) and Granville Van Dusen (A Delicate Balance).

COLLECTED STORIES | Drama
By Donald Margulies
Directed by James O’Neil
Emmy Award-winning actress Susan Clark stars in this compelling play about respect, rivalry, betrayal and honor. The story follows the rise and fall of a friendship between two woman writers: Ruth Steiner, a teacher and respected short-story writer, and her protégée Lisa Morrison. Over the course of six years, Lisa journeys from insecure student to successful writer. After publishing a well-received collection of stories, Lisa writes a novel based on Ruth's affair with the poet Delmore Schwartz. The play poses the question of whether a person's life events are suitable for another to use in their own creative process. According to the New York Times, “the emotional current” of the play takes on a “sweeping, electric life.”
