THE STORIES:
When Shakespeare's Ladies Meet: Imagine the fun when six of Shakespeare’s heroines get together to discuss the universal topic—love. That’s what happens in this thirty-minute playlet. Juliet has just fallen in love with Romeo and the other ladies of the Bard’s imagination convene to enlighten her on the best method of conducting a romance.
Bartenders:: There are 1,259,874 bartenders in the United States today. Meet six of them. Louis Mustillo (Mike & Molly, The Sopranos) brings you BARTENDERS: the ultimate tribute to the men who serve as friend, father, psychotherapist, and ego-booster to our cocktail-drinking nation. Every drink has a story. This sharply crafted exposé takes us into the worlds of these unique barkeeps to provide a stirring look at the joys and sorrows of stocking, cleaning, and serving up everything from Absinthe to Zinfandel. Go beyond the façade and discover what really happens behind the bar.
BARTENDERS contains adult language and situations which may not be appropriate for those 18 years of age and younger.

| | Venus in Fur
Written by: David Ives
Directed by: Brian Westerley
Performances Friday and Saturday evenings, 8pm. August 2, 3, 9, 10, 16 and 17, 2024
THE STORY: Thomas, a beleaguered playwright/director, is desperate to find an actress to play Vanda, the female lead in his adaptation of the classic sadomasochistic tale Venus in Fur. Into his empty audition room walks a vulgar and equally desperate actress—oddly enough, named Vanda. Though utterly wrong for the sophisticated part, Vanda exhibits a strange command of the material, piquing Thomas’ interest with her seductive talents and secretive manner. As the two work through the script, they blur the line between play and reality, entering into an increasingly serious game of submission and domination that only one of them can win. A mysterious, funny, erotic drama that represents yet another departure for the multifaceted David Ives.
VENUS IN FUR contains adult situations and may not be appropriate for those under the age of 18.

| | The Revolutionists
Written by: Lauren Gunderson
Directed by: Christina Courtenay
Performances Friday and Saturday evenings, 8pm. November 1, 2, 8, 9, 15 and 16, 2024.
THE STORY: Four beautiful, badass women lose their heads in this irreverent, girl-powered comedy set during the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror. Playwright Olympe de Gouges, assassin Charlotte Corday, former queen (and fan of ribbons) Marie Antoinette, and Haitian rebel Marianne Angelle hang out, murder Marat, and try to beat back the extremist insanity in 1793 Paris. This grand and dream-tweaked comedy is about violence and legacy, art and activism, feminism and terrorism, compatriots and chosen sisters, and how we actually go about changing the world. It’s a true story. Or total fiction. Or a play about a play. Or a raucous resurrection…that ends in a song and a scaffold.
