Current Season 2023

Picture
Visiting Mr. Green
Written by Jeff Baron
Directed by
​Drew Henderson & Glen Teager
February 24, 25, 26 & March 3, 4, 5


​Mr. Green, an elderly, retired dry cleaner, wanders into New York traffic and is almost hit by a car driven by Ross Gardiner, a 29-year-old corporate executive. The young man is given a community service of helping the recent widower once a week for six months. What starts as a comedy about two men who do not want to be in the same room together becomes a gripping and moving drama as they get to know each other, come to care about each other, and open old wounds they’ve been hiding and nursing for years. 

“Very simply, a great, beautiful, essential moment of theatre. It grabs us at the beginning and doesn’t let us go until the end.”
—France Soir

Marvin’s Room
Written by Scott McPherson
Directed by ​Jessica Taulbee
July 14, 15, 16 & 21, 22, 23


Lee is a single mother who's been busy raising her troubled teenage son, Hank. Her estranged sister Bessie has her hands full with their elder-ly father, his soap opera-obsessed sister—and a brand-new life-or-death diagnosis. Now the women are about to reunite for the first time in 18 years. Can these almost-strangers become a family in time to make plans and make amends?  Exploring an unsentimental reality with hope, compassion and a dose of wonder-fully absurd humor, Marvin’s Room is a life-af-firming reminder of the gift we give ourselves when we love unconditionally.

"...a deft balance of dry comedy, wisdom and pathos, and a sincere appreciation of the challenging role of the caregiver."

Inlaws, Outlaws, and Other People (That Should Be Shot)
Written by Steve Franco
Directed by
​Sara Lindsey & Diana Reeder
November 3, 4, 5 & 10, 11, 12


It is 6 p.m. and the Douglas family is busily preparing to be invaded by their quirky relatives for their annual Christmas Eve dinner. After robbing a neighborhood liquor store, high strung and irritable Tony and his dim-witted side-kick Vinny need a hide-out. Using a ruse to gain entrance into the Douglas home, they suddenly find themselves saddled with smart-aleck teenagers, nosy neighbors and bickering adults. We soon wonder who the hostages really are here! A comic treasure that is sure to leave you in stitches while celebrat-ing the warmth of the Christmas season.

“A comic gem. The holidays have never been so funny!”
—The Thistle
