2015.2016: A Season of Connections

*“We cannot live for ourselves alone. Our lives are **connected by a
thousand invisible threads, and along **these sympathetic fibers, our
actions run as causes **and return to us as results.” **-Herman Melville*

A heart-warming celebration of American womanhood depicting the courage and
spirit of our nation’s pioneer women. Music, dance and drama transform the
harsh realities of frontier life into a Legacy Quilt containing blocks of
familiar patterns like the Lone Star, the Log Cabin and the Double Wedding
Ring.

by Sarah Ruhl
directed by Rachael Swartz

*November 5-7, 12-14 at 7:30 p.m.November 8 at 2 p.m.*
Pre-Show Talk: Fri., Nov. 13, 6:45 p.m.

A stranger at the next table has had enough of an incessantly ringing cell
phone in a quiet café, while a dead man has a lot of loose ends. This
wildly imaginative new comedy is about how we memorialize the dead and how
we are forced to confront our own assumptions about morality, redemption,
and the need to connect in a technologically obsessed world. *Contains
adult language.*

directed Patrick McGregor II

One of Shakespeare’s most popular comedies follows the adventures of four
young Athenian lovers. Meanwhile, a band of fairies and a troupe of
Athenian craftsmen rehearsing a play attempt to manipulate and control the
events surrounding the couples’ marriages. How will the summer romances end?
