Do You Feel Anger? By Mara Nelson-Greenberg, Directed by Courtney Murphy
Starring: Brooke Turcotte, Emily Gorton and Shane Lewis
“Sofia was recently hired as an empathy coach at a debt collection agency- and clearly, she has
her work cut out for her. An outrageous comedy about the absurdity- and danger- of a world
where some people’s feelings matter more than others.”
‘Night, Mother by Marsha Norman, Directed by Colleen Haggarty Bunn
Starring: Caitlin Liberati & Kerri Hogle
“Winner of the 1983 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, this eloquent, enthralling and ultimately shattering
play explores the final hour in the life of a young woman who has decided that life is no longer
worth living.”
The Best We Could (a Family Tragedy) by Emily Feldman, Directed by Kate Simeon
Starring: Andrew Munro, Rowan Fitzgibbons, Linda Reese and J Lentner
“In this funny, wise and heartbreaking debut, a daughter’s roadtrip with her father becomes a
theatrical journey across more than just state lines. Ella agrees to accompany her father Lou on
a long-distance trip to adopt a rescue dog. Guided by a narrator called Maps, their journey
reveals hard truths as their pasts slowly rise to the surface.”
Little Women by Louisa May Alcott & adapted for the stage by Marisha Chamberlain, Directed by Allie Tabor-Church
Starring: Mavery Bennet, Skylar Gargash, Tori Munro, Katie Marvel-Janitz and Cassandra Miller
“Under the guidance of their beloved mother, Marmee, the four March sisters- tempestuous Jo,
motherly Meg, shy Beth and spoiled Amy- struggle to keep their family going while their father is
away in the Civil War.”
A View From the Bridge by Arthur Miller, Directed by Tahya Hurn
Starring: Brian Loughlin, Angela Cobb and Josette LaRocca
“Set in 1950’s America in an Italian American neighborhood near the Brooklyn Bridge in New York, Eddie Carbone, a Brooklyn longshoreman, has brought up his niece, Catherine, as his own daughter. When she succumbs to the attractions of the charismatic Rodolpho, Eddie’s explosive sexual jealousy has terrifying and tragic consequences.”
