A Lie of the MIND

by Sam Shepard
directed by Frank Condon

October 3-25, 2009

"By turns aching and hilarious -- and always as lyrical as its accompanying country music -- "A Lie of the Mind" is the unmistakable expression of a major writing nearing the height of his powers"
                         ~   NY Times

 

 

EURYDICE

by Sarah Ruhl
directed by Frank Condon

April 17 – May 16, 2010

:Love and grief, life and death are both endless and tentative, fixed and mutable in the strange world of "Eurydice," the devastatingly lovely -- and just plain devastating--theatrical gloss on the Orpheus myth by the inventive young playwright Sarah Ruhl."                                                                 
                         ~   NY Times

 

 

 

 

 

 


The Playwright’s Festival of New Works

directed by Frank Condon

July 2010

Highly regarded, and gaining a growing national reputation for developing new plays, including seven world premieres to date, among them Gunfighter: A Gulf War Chronicle, Ghost Dance, and The Scottsboro Boys. New plays are work-shopped in rehearsal and given staged readings followed by discussions between playwright, director and audiences.

July 16 and 17, 2010
CONFESSIONS OF A PULPETEER
In this one-man show with five fiddles and song, area local Lee Boek explores the rise and fall of his career as a fundamentalist preacher, from his childhood days listening to fire and brimstone sermons on the radio to his travels across America as a young itinerant preacher. When his seriously epileptic son becomes an emblem of what it means to be excluded, Boek reexamines his faith.

 

July 30 and 31, 2010
TBA
To be announced.
