Leeds, a brainy, tart-tongued graduate student, has bet his
"super-jock" roommate, Ward (a Phys Ed
major), that Ward can seduce Honor, the wife
of a young professor (Ron). But Leeds has
also wagered that if Ward is successful, Ron
will make an attempt on his life within 48
hours. The situation grows progressively
more complex, and the result is not tragedy
but pure, bubbling comedy from the author of
the highly acclaimed Children of a Lesser
God and When You Comin’ Back, Red
Ryder? (Performance may contain adult
themes and language) |

Athens and Sparta
have been at war for years with no end in
sight. Desperate times demand a desperate
remedy, and so the women of Athens, led by
Lysistrata and supported by female delegates
from the other states of Hellas, agree to
refuse all sexual favors until the men have
come agree to peace. Aristophanes' classic
comedy comes to life in this new and
energetic adaptation of the traditional
battle of the sexes. |

Set in a Victorian drawing room, Anna and
Claire are two bantering, scheming “women of
fashion” who have long lived together on the
fringes of upper-class society. While Anna
has become the mistress of a wealthy man and
Claire remains infatuated with a respectable
young lady, the two women exchange barbs and
taunt Anna’s hapless parlor maid until
Claire’s young inamorata suddenly appears.
The result sets off a crisis of wits that
puts both the women’s futures at risk.

Leontes' unjustified rage causes him to lose his
wife, his son and his baby daughter. The
destructive forces of jealousy and envy are
pitted against the power of love and forgiveness
in one of Shakespeare’s final plays.
Complemented by festive comedy and some of
Shakespeare's most searing poetry, we conclude
our season with an exploration of the healing,
redemptive magic of time in this cautionary tale
of one family's journey to reconciliation.
