Picasso at the Lapin Agile
By Steve Martin

WHEN : October 14 – November 1

WHY: OK. OK.  1904. Paris. Einstein walks into a bar.  No. No. Wait. Picasso walks into a bar.  No. Hold on. Picasso and Einstein walk into a bar.  Yeah! Then what?  Then Charles Dabernow Schmendiman walks in, too.  Who?  Exactly.  Then what?  Laughter, comedy, absurdity and some delightfully zany musings on the nature of art, science and the twentieth century, as only Steve Martin (yes, that Steve Martin) could render them. Plus a royal visit.

The Price
By Arthur Miller

WHEN: January 27 – February 14

WHY: It’s flat out great drama the way only a modern master like Arthur Miller can write it.  From the author of American classics such as All My Sons, Death of a Salesman, and The Crucible, Miller’s The Price is taut, truthful and deeply engaging, and belongs with the best of his plays. In an overstuffed attic apartment, two long-estranged brothers, one a cop, the other a doctor, agree to meet to sell off what remains of their deceased father’s furniture and find themselves in an emotional renegotiation of the past. Regrets, resentments and recriminations expose the high price each has paid for lost opportunities and lessons learned. A drama of redemptive power.


Lookingglass Alice
By David Catlin
Based on Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass
by Lewis Carroll

WHEN: February 24 – March 14

WHY: In your wildest imaginings, you’ve never imagined Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass like this! Staged with endless wit, astonishing physicality, breathtaking aerial acrobatics and theatrical daring, Alice, The Mad Hatter, Humpty Dumpty, the Cheshire Cat, Tweedledee and Tweedledum and all of Lewis Carroll’s enchanting characters come to dizzyingly, playful, gravity-defying life in a circus-like spectacle sure to amaze kids and adults alike.


Almost, Maine
By John Cariani

WHEN: March 24 – April 11

WHY: Because it’s all about love, and like love, it is never what you expect.  Meet the people of Almost, Maine, a tiny town so far north Vermont is considered the South. One winter night with the aurora borealis creating celestial enchantment, eight couples fall under the spell of that funny little unpredictable thing called love. By turns touching, comic, warm, gentle and altogether surprising, Almost, Maine is a funny Valentine of a play that will make you smile with your heart.


August Wilson’s
Fences

WHEN: May 5 – 23

WHY: Because a true classic always speaks to us anew.
Pittsburgh, 1957. Troy Maxon, ex-ballplayer, complicated African American family man and garbage collector, has lived a life of diminished hopes and abandoned dreams. Now Troy’s talented son, Cory, has hopes and dreams of his own. Will Troy allow his bitterness about the past to poison his son’s promising future? With a view toward a better future, August Wilson’s Fences first posed this dramatic and necessary question 25 years ago . . . and it hits us as hard today.
