"Lost Boy at Whole Foods" I October 11th - November 2nd
The story of Christine, a recently divorced "East Ender" from Pittsburgh, who meets Gabriel, a former "lost boy" from Sudan working in the produce section of Whole Foods. Soon Gabriel's world becomes enmeshed with hers and daughter Alex-leading to a remarkable journey of awareness, struggle and hopefulness. The play asks the question: what happens when we open up our lives to help another human being? Leaving us to wonder about the effect of one soul upon another.
"The Glass Menagerie" I January 17th - February 8th
Amanda Wingfield is a faded remnant of Southern gentility who now lives in a dingy St. Louis apartment with her son, Tom, and her daughter, Laura, who has a physical handicap and debilitating shyness. The father has left home; Tom supports his mother and sister with a shoe-factory job he finds unbearable. When Amanda convinces Tom to bring home from his workplace a gentleman caller for Laura, the illusions that Tom, Amanda, and Laura have each created in order to make life bearable collapse about them.
"Fulfillment Center" I April 3rd - April 25th
In the New Mexico desert, a down-on-her-luck folk singer takes a job at a giant online retailers shipping center. Her young manager struggles to connect with his girlfriend newly relocated from New York. And a drifter living at a local campground dangerously links them all. A raw, surprising, and funny play about four lonely lives coming together in the search for fulfillment.
"Bloody, Bloody Andrew Jackson" I July 17th - August 22nd
Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson follows America's seventh president from his early days as a child on the wild frontier to his controversial reign in the White House. With the country divided into rich and poor (and with continued skirmishes with the Native Americans upsetting pieces of the new world), Jackson begins his steady climb from military strategist to populist rabble-rouser to President of the United States. Along the way, he meets his wife, Rachel, takes on the Founding Fathers and rocks like no political figure has ever rocked before, with the help of an onstage trio and an entourage of singing, joking cohorts. It also asks the question: is wanting to have a beer with someone reason enough to elect him? What if he's really, really hot?
