Mary’s Wedding

by Stephen Massicote

Directed by Tom Evans

October 22nd – November 8th

The year is 1914, and a young bride-to-be dreams one last night of love and war. Even with an ocean between them, Mary and Charlie inhabit each other's dreams. But as the dark clouds of World War 1 gather overhead, the strength of their bond is about to be tested. This moving and magical play is a love letter to the power of memory, hope and innocence.

“Massicote has a lovely, lyrical sense… The show works wonderfully.” Variety 

Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks

by Richard Alfieri

Directed by Peggy Trecker White

December 3rd – 20th  

This comedy opens as an aging but still formidable woman hires an acerbic dance instructor to give her lessons in St. Petersburg Beach, Florida. Antagonism between a gay man and the widow of a Southern Baptist minister gives way to profound compatibility as they swing dance, tango, foxtrot and cha-cha while sharing more than dance steps. During the sixth and final lesson, she reveals a closely guarded secret and he shares his greatest gifts-loyalty and compassion.

“Just the right combination of humor and humility to make you laugh and cry at the same time.” New York Observer

The Seafarer

by Conor McPherson

Directed by Tom Evans

February 11th – 28th

A chilling Tony Award winning play about the sea, Ireland, and the power of myth. It's Christmas Eve, and Sharky has returned to Dublin to look after his irascible, aging brother who's recently gone blind. Old drinking buddies Ivan and Nicky are holed up at the house too, hoping to play some cards. But with the arrival of a stranger from the distant past, the stakes are raised ever higher. Sharky may be playing for his very soul.

"A timeless classic." Hollywood Reporter 

The Savannah Disputation

by Evan Smith

Directed by Blake White

March 25th – April 11th

Resurrect this! When susceptible Catholic spinster Margaret politely admits door-to-door Pentecostal missionary Melissa into her home, her seemingly-solid faith starts to waver - much to the chagrin of her feisty sister Mary. But who's the blasphemer and who's the believer? Before long, the God-fearing sisters have ambushed their steadfast "guest" with the aid of an unsuspecting local priest, setting the scene for a smackdown of truly biblical proportions.
