2011-2012 Season

2-PLAY SERIES

Several actresses embody the heart and mind of Anne Hathaway, Shakespeare’s wife.  On the day of his funeral, Anne reflects on her life and marriage to the famous poet as she prepares to read his last wishes.  Inspired by the actual contents of Shakespeare’s will, this play gives a voice to this remarkable woman and her compelling story.

Set in Nebraska in the 1920s during the era of Prohibition, Two-Gun Hart is the only law for 300 miles. When a Duesenberg-driving antiques dealer from Baltimore shows up for a visit, young Ambrose Healey of the Homer Weekly Star smells a story. But is it worth his life to write it? A play about freedom of the press, the myth of the Old West, and a whole lot more from the award-winning writer of The Philly Fan, Any Given Monday, and Something Intangible.

A delight-filled traveler’s tale (which may or may not be true) that takes you from the exotic islands of the Coral Sea to Queen Victoria’s garden to the Royal Geographic Society.  Has Louis been on a grand adventure or is he suffering delusions of grandeur?  Do wombats really fly? Can you ride a sea turtle?  This is genuine entertainment for all!

“It was a dark and stormy night” begins this beloved novel by Madeleine L’Engle. Set off on an adventure through space and time via a tesseract with three children, each with a special gift and assisted by the three eccentric Mrs. Ws, to free their scientist father from the power of It.  (Nothing good was ever named It!)
