A DOLL'S HOUSE
By Henrik Ibsen
Directed by David Richman
Highly controversial when first per formed, Ibsen’s ground-breaking drama opens with Nora Helmer twittering and posing like a pretty skylark for her domineering husband. Is she being a frivolous woman, or is she acting a requisite role? For nearly two and a half centuries, Nora’s ultimate rejection of the accepted constraints of marriage has surprised and dismayed audiences. Are people really who we think they are, and in the 128 years since Ibsen wrote A Doll’s House, has the social and political status of women really changed?

ALL SHOOK UP
Inspired by and featuring the songs of Elvis Presley
Book by Joe DiPietro
Directed by Matt Nesmith

In a little square town, in the middle of a square state, a handsome drifter just out of prison rumbles into town and turns everything upside down. His velvety voice and swiveling hips become instruments of change, turning a drab, uptight community into a rock in’ place where constraints are broken, love sparks and everything is All Shook Up!

Ken Ludwig’s
SHAKESPEARE IN HOLLYWOOD
Directed by Deborah Kinghorn
Love triangles! Mistaken identity! Ken Ludwig’s latest farce is such stuff that midsummer night dreams are made on. It’s 1934 Hollywood, and Shakespeare’s most famous fairies, Oberon and Puck, have magically materialized on a movie set. Dazzled by the glamour of show biz, the two are ushered onto the silver screen to play (who else?) themselves. Toss in a blonde bombshell, a movie mogul, and an arrogant “ass” and let the merrymaking begin.

UBU ROI
By Alfred Jarry
Directed by David Kaye
Surreal nightmare, satirical social commentary, or both? Ubu Roi tells the story of an ambitious but cowardly man’s rise to power and subsequent fall. Using clown-like characters and an eccentric, idiosyncratic style, Ubu Roi moves beyond narrative theatre to expose the ruthlessness and cruelty of naked ambition. Drawing parallels between history’s brutal dictators and today’s world leaders, this production is certain to disturb, thrill and provoke both thought and emotion.
