| | Art by Yasmina Reza
Director: Tim Messina
Synopsis: Three friends, Serge, Marc, and Yvan discuss Serge’s newest art acquisition…a painting that is completely 100% white and cost $200,000. The friends’ relationship suffers considerable strain as a result of their differing opinions about what constitutes “art”.The play, is about ideas – what is modern art and what is its value? How do we approach art, how do we relate to it and place a price on it? Does art fuel our soul? Or is art nothing more than an absurd – rather expensive – preoccupation for the rich?

| | Urinetown by Mark Hollmann & Greg Kotis
Directed by Jeremiah Reid
In the not-so-distant future, a terrible water shortage and 20-year drought has led to a government ban on private toilets and a proliferation of paid public toilets, owned and operated by a single megalomaniac company: the Urine Good Company. If the poor don’t obey the strict laws prohibiting free urination, they’ll be sent to the dreaded and mysterious “Urinetown.” After too long under the heel of the malevolent Caldwell B. Cladwell, the poor stage a revolt, led by a brave young hero, fighting tooth and nail for the freedom to pee “wherever you like, whenever you like, for as long as you like, and with whomever you like.” A brilliant satire, Urinetown is a wickedly funny, fast-paced, and surprisingly intelligent comedic romp.
