NOISES OFF
by Michael Frayn
September 17-20, 23-27, 2009
“The funniest play ever written,” exclaims the New York Times! A theatrical farce about an acting troupe performing in a new show. But as the play develops, the tensions seen on stage become strikingly similar to the noises off. With doors that don’t open and sardines that don’t stay put, everyone is sure to be in stitches! Who says practice makes perfect?
EMMA'S CHILD
by Kristine Thatcher
October 22-25, 28-31, Nov. 1, 2009
Amidst the stark white walls of the hospital lay Emma’s child, the answer to all of Jean Farrell’s prayers. This child was not the one she envisioned, but some how everything that she ever wanted. A gripping story about life’s unexpected gifts, the connection between mother and child and the power of unconditional love.
HEARTBREAK HOUSE

On the eve of the First World War, a young woman is invited to Hesione Hushabye’s country estate for the weekend. Unfortunately, her fiancée is a scoundrel, and she’s actually in love with another woman’s husband. Shaw’s comic masterpiece is a bold mix of farce and tragedy, lampooning a British society unaware that it is at a political and economic crossroads – in a time strikingly similar to our own.
