OLD TIMES opens on the Main Stage
 
Directed by Margarett Perry
Old Times Cast

Kate (Camilla Schade) and her husband, Deeley (Greg Bostwick), live in an isolated farmhouse by the sea. The mundane harmony of their lives is disturbed when Kate's old friend Anna (Leigh Keeley) comes to stay. A night of reminiscing between the married couple and the old friend becomes a struggle to discover the truth in memory, desire in love, and to whom the past belongs. A battle for possession begins in which past and present merge with shattering consequences. March 20 through April 13.

Lenelle Moïse's EXPATRIATE
 
On Kitchen Counter Culture
Lenelle Moise

A new musical drama by Lenelle Moïse exploring race, friendship, addiction, art and infamy. Claudie and Alphine are African-American performing artists and long-time sister-friends. Disillusioned by grief, homophobia and "the black glass ceiling," the two flee to Europe to realize their starved American dreams. In Paris, they quickly rise to fame and fortune. But Claudie and Alphine soon discover that for some black artists living abroad, stardom comes at a price. Will their friendship survive the pressures of their newfound success?

Directed by Tamilla Woodard.
Starring Karla Mosley and Lenelle Moïse
April 18, 19 & 20
Friday and Saturday at 8PM, Sunday at 4PM

SCOOT, SIZZLE & SLIDE April 26 - May 11
 
A collaboration of movement and music
saly lamb photo

Rachel Lampert has gone back to her choreographer roots and teamed up with composer Sally Lamb to produce this wonderful piece. What do you get when you bring together a swingin' composer, a jumpin' choreographer, and a whirl of dancers? Something that's hard to put into words, but that certainly sizzles. This new movement piece will make you want to scoot, sizzle & slide along.




Composer Sally Lamb
