Oct. 10 through Nov. 10

The High Water Mark by Ben Clawson: A new comedy by the author of The Dangers of Electric Lighting.

It’s 1:30 in the morning. Janet was asleep, but now she’s not because Lily has just barged in, a bit drunk and unexpected. Janet wants to go back to bed because she has work in the morning, but Lily has other plans. So wine is poured, old memories are revisited and secrets emerge as these two old friends navigate the night, middle-age and the roads that lie ahead.

Master Harold and The Boys by Athol Fugard Jan. 30 through March 2

A searing coming of age story, considered by many to be Athol Fugard’s masterpiece. A white teen who has grown up in the affectionate company of the two black waiters who work in his mother’s tea room in Port Elizabeth learns that his viciously racist alcoholic father is on his way home from the hospital. An ensuing rage unwittingly triggers his inevitable passage into the culture of hatred fostered by apartheid.

“One of those depth charge plays that has lasting relevance and can triumphantly survive any test of time…The story is simple, but the resonance that Fugard brings to it lets it reach beyond the narrative, to touch so many nerves connected to betrayal and guilt. An exhilarating play…It is a triumph of playmaking, and unforgettable.” -The New York Post

Marisol by José Rivera April 10 through May 11

Oscar Nominee (The Motorcycle Diaries) José Rivera’s powerful and poetic Marisol tells the story of a young Latino woman struggling to find safety in a world fraught with danger. In the magic realism style of his mentor Gabriel García Márquez, Rivera depicts a world filled with golf-club wielding assailants, extras from the movie Taxi Driver, angels in leather jackets, and extinct apples. Marisol is an apocalyptic urban fantasy which urges society to recover our long-lost compassion for our fellow man and to save our world from the brink of destruction.

Winner of the 1993 Obie Award.

“…Rivera’s play is angry, fearsome, fantastic, and poetically frenzied, without surrendering either its sanity or its mordant sense of humor…It’s a cry from the poet’s heart.” —Village Voice
