Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

George and Martha have isolated themselves from each other by escaping into playing games and creating fantasies that only reinforce their loneliness and despair.  Set in the 1960’s in a small New England college town, Edward Albee’s surreal and timeless tale of twisted co-dependency and marital dysfunction combines the inane, the vulgar and the poetic.  Albee received a Tony award for this play in 1962.

Buried Child

Buried Child is a play by Sam Shepard that won the 1979 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Buried Child depicts the fragmentation of the American nuclear family in a context of disappointment and disillusionment with American mythology and the American dream, the rural economic slowdown and the breakdown of traditional family structures and values. This play is a macabre look at an American Midwestern family with a dark, terrible secret.

Moon Over Buffalo

An American backstage farce! Charlotte and George Hay, an acting couple not exactly the Lunts are on tour in Buffalo in 1953 with a repertory consisting of Cyrano de Bergerac "revised, one nostril version" and Noel Coward's Private Lives. Fate has given these thespians one more shot at starring roles in The Scarlet Pimpernel epic and director Frank Capra himself is en route to Buffalo to catch their matinee performance. Will Charlotte appear or run off with their agent? Will George be sober enough to emote? Will Capra see Cyrano, Private Lives or a disturbing mixture of the two? Hilarious misunderstandings pile on madcap misadventures, in this valentine to Theatre Hams everywhere.

Death of a Salesman

Receiving the 2012 Tony Award for Best Revival attests to the fact that Arthur Miller’s 1949 play is an iconic example of “Classic American Theatre.”  The story of a man with illusions of grandeur without the skill and resources to make them come true still haunts the stage, not only in America but around the world.  The play focuses on father-son relationships and the inability to realize The American Dream.
