A VERY OLD MAN WITH ENORMOUS WINGS by Nilo Cruz June, 2008 Adapted from the short story by Gabriel García Márquez
Belle Moral: A Natural History by Ann-Marie MacDonald September 2006 This thrilling new play & set in Belle Moral, a large old stone house on the coast of Scotland, a few miles outside of Edinburgh, 1899 & pulls us into the story of Pearl MacIsaac, a young scientist in a family with extraordinary secrets coursing toward the surface.
Mariela in the Desert by Karen Zakarías January 12 - 28 Winner of the National Latino Playwriting Award, this powerful and truthful play - layered, profoundly moving - is set in the northern desert landscape of Mexico and in the very heart of a family. The carefully crafted characters seem to really breathe. They are vulnerable, funny, ruthless and contradictory. The desert - red and crackling - burns away all but the deepest roots, the most resilient life.
THE TEMPEST by William Shakespeare MAY 22 - JUNE 2, 2002 From the opening storm to the closing plea for forgiveness, it smashes the boundaries between illusion and reality, science and art, liberation and enslavement. A whirlwind of ideas bursts through in music, extraordinary stage images and a challenging text of lasting beauty.
Waiting For Godot A Tragicomedy In Two Acts by Samuel Beckett March 2006, A production honoring the Centennial of the birth of Samuel Beckett with what stands as one of the most moving plays of modern times. It opened in 1953 at the tiny Left Bank Theatre de Babylone. It is a comical wordplay of poetry, dreamscapes and nonsense that is suffused with tenderness, and as Clive Barnes wrote: “with phrases that come like a sharp stab of beauty and pain.”
OF MICE AND MEN by John Steinbeck September, 2001 Produced in the aftermath of the Great Depression, it remains one of the most startling examinations of the American dream of individual liberty, moving right to the heart of things. His classic story of itinerant workers on a California ranch throws brilliant light on the kinship of powerlessness... and the power of friendship.
LORCA IN A GREEN DRESS by Nilo Cruz March, 2004 A lyrical and mesmerizing look at the great Spanish poet, Federico Garcia Lorca. At the moment of his death, Lorca is swept into scenes from his life in a highly charged and erotic play driven by the passions of gypsy music. Nilo Cruz is a Cuban born, Pulitzer-Prize winning playwright who writes with an exquisite command of poetry and theater.
A Shayna Maidel by Barbara Lebow January 13 - 29, 2006 This powerhouse drama of almost overwhelming proportions, stands as a tribute to the sustaining power of family and to the strength of the human spirit. Set in Manhattan in 1946, it takes us to the meeting of two sisters divided by the war in Europe and the terror of concentration camps. Shaken by discovery and memory, sorrowful barriers give way to a renewed sense of hope.
