Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

2015-02-20T15:43:52+00:00

Off The Press

George and his wife, Martha, have just returned home, drunk from a Saturday night party. Martha announces that she has invited a young professor and his new bride to stop by for a nightcap. When they arrive, the drinks flow and inhibitions melt. It becomes clear that Martha is determined to seduce the young professor, and George couldn't care less. But underneath the edgy banter between both couples, lurks a tragedy at the heart of George and Martha’s despair. In the end, the mystery in which they have taken refuge is exposed, once and for all revealing the degrading mess they have made of their lives.

"A multi-award-winning play and signature work of one of America’s best regarded playwrights, Edward Albee’s marital-warfare masterwork remains in a class of its own.” – The Hollywood Reporter

Rapture, Blister, Burn

2015-02-20T15:43:33+00:00

Off The Press

After grad school, Catherine and Gwen chose polar opposite paths. Catherine built a career as a rockstar academic, while Gwen built a home with her husband and children. Decades later, unfulfilled in polar opposite ways, each woman covets the other's life, commencing a dangerous game of musical chairs—the prize being Gwen's husband. With searing insight and trademark wit, this comedy is an unflinching look at gender politics in the wake of 20th-century feminist ideals.

"There's nothing more enjoyable than watching super-smart characters make exceedingly dumb decisions…an almost unbelievable chain of sometimes comic, mostly tragic events…Thoughtful, funny…One of the top ten plays of 2012." —Entertainment Weekly.

Detroit '67

Chelle and her brother Lank are making ends meet by turning the basement on their Detroit home into an after-hours joint. It’s 1967 and the sounds of Motown set the mood. But when a mysterious woman finds her way into their lives, the siblings clash over much more than the family business. As their pentup feelings erupt, so does their city, and they find themselves caught in the middle of the '67 riots.

“You feel the pulse and vibrations of her (Dominique Morisseau) characters, all working-class sheroes and heroes, as they navigate, in their space and time (with humor, with sadness), the chaos pounding the smoke-stained windows of their basement after-hours spot.” – The Huffington Post
