Same Time Next Year
by Bernard Slade
directed by Chrisse Roccaro
A genuinely funny and romantic tale of a couple, each married to others, who develop a relationship in which they meet for a weekend once each year at a small country inn. Through their 25-year relationship, they become much more than clandestine lovers, sharing life-changing events, the ups and downs of each other’s marriages, and ultimately becoming important parts of one another’s lives. |  | December 4, 2007
Grace and Glorie
by Tom Ziegler
directed by Louanne Moldovan
Grace, a foxy, backwoods 90-year old, is battling cancer, and has returned to her farm home to meet death on her own turf. Gloria, a transplanted New Yorker who left the Manhattan rat race behind, has been sent as a hospice volunteer to aid Grace through her final days. Their story is filled with laughs that outweigh the sadness, as the two women learn from each other about the nature of love, life and death. |  | February 5, 2008
MASTER CLASS
by Terrence McNally
directed by Jon Kretzu
A rich, vivid portrayal of the glamorous diva, Maria Callas. We join Callas as she conducts a master class for aspiring opera singers that quickly becomes a platform for the commanding, larger-than-life opera star. As she critiques each student, she glories in memories of her brilliant career, and draws us all in with her mesmerizing reveries of a glorious and turbulent life. |  | March 4, 2008 Honour
by Joanna Murray-Smith
directed by William Tate
A touching, poignant tale of a mature marriage that is suddenly set on its heels. A marital crisis is precipitated by an interview meeting between a young female writer and her subject, George, a distinguished TV journalist. The passions awakened have far-reaching consequences and surprising resolutions for George, his wife Honor, their grown up daughter and the woman who sparked the flame. |  | April 1, 2008
Sylvia
by A. R. Gurney
directed by Kirk Mouser
In the middle of his mid-life crisis, Greg meets a beautiful, frisky young female in the park. Not too surprising, except that his newfound interest happens to be a dog. When he brings the sassy little pooch home, complications abound. An hysterical comedy for anyone who has ever owned a dog, loved a dog, or wanted to wring a dog’s neck. |  | May 6, 2008
