Adapted by Dennis Krausnick from the novel by Edith Wharton

Directed by Audrey Wience

Stage version of Edith Wharton's classic tale of social mores in early-20th-century New York focuses on the travails of Lily Bart, a ravishing young woman who lacks a fortune of her own and needs to find a wealthy husband in order to secure her position. Torn between her desire for freedom and the rigid conventions of upper-class society, Lily tragically misses her chance for real love with the intellectually refined attorney Lawrence Selden, the one man who could make her happy.

by Lucy Simon
November 15 - 21, 2005
Directed by Thrisa Hodits

This musical adaptation captures the full richness and spirit of Burnett's original novel. With lovely, expressive music by Lucy Simon, the musical is a rare and extraordinary success in transforming a wonderful book into an equally wonderful stage experience. Tragic circumstances bring together a handful of people whose minds, hearts, and hopes are closed as tightly as a walled garden.

Crave

by Sarah Kane
February 21 - 26, 2006
Directed by Patrick Quinlan

There are some who believe that the world lost one of its finest late 20th century dramatists when Sarah Kane committed suicide in 1999. Her work produced extreme reactions in critics and audiences alike but many failed to appreciate the pure poetry of her writing until it was too late. In Crave, four people sit on chairs facing the audience and talk to the audience separately, perhaps four warring factions of one individual's consciousness. Deeply moving, honest and engrossing.
