Heartbreak House

Thursdays-Saturdays @7:30pm, Sundays @2:30pm

A favorite 20th-C. masterpiece, this eclectic drama features an ensemble of
unexpected visitors to an unusual family home. Shaw pays tribute to
pre-World War I innocence with charming exposure of its ignorance as well.
This script for virtuoso artists plays like a haunting symphony that
champions human wonder in the face of fear and change.

"The opportunity to gather some of the finest actors together and work with
them on one of the world's finest plays is an opportunity that comes only a
few times in a lifetime. I feel extraordinarily lucky to be a part of such
an inspiring group effort."    -- Tom Fulton

"The opportunity to work on such a mysterious and multi-dimensional play
with a group of exceptional theatre professionals whom I respect so much is
a gift that doesn't come along every day. For an actor, it just doesn't get
any better."    -- John Hedges

"A lovely play and a lovely cast... to quote Nick Gilbert, 'What's not to
like?' Grab your bow tie and come!"    -- Paula Duesing
