The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-In-The-Moon-Marigolds
By Paul Zindel
February 5 - March 1, 2009
The 1971 Pulitzer Prize winner for Drama. This American classic is a stirring story of perseverance and hope. One of Off-Broadway's greatest successes, this powerful and moving study of an embittered, vindictive widow and her two young daughters has been hailed as one of the most significant and affecting plays of our time. Featuring Emily Sutton-Smith. Directed by John Lepard.
Panache
By Don Gordon
March 26 - April 19, 2009
The story of two lost souls who find their future in each other. This unpredictable, charmingly comic story seems to start out simply: Kathleen wants a license plate with the word "Panache" on it - but Harry has it. Nothing is as simple as it seems, however, and what begins as a ridiculous squabble over the seemingly unimportant turns into a desperate quest to salvage two lives. Directed by Joseph Albright.
Flyover, USA: Voices From Men of the Midwest
By Dennis North and Joe Zettelmaier
May 21 - June 14, 2009
Hot on the heels of last season's award-winning premiere of Voices From the Midwest comes the second installment of our groundbreaking series! As we begin the 21st Century, men's roles in business, family and social environments have evolved. This piece, built around submissions from men all over this part of our country, will explore the stories, journeys and lives of men from the Midwestern United States and ask the question: "What is it to be a man in the 21st Century Midwest?" Featuring Tobin Hissong and Paul Hopper. Directed by John Seibert
