<b><i>The Dybbuk</i></b>. Written by S. Ansky and directed by Dr. Michael Mauldin,
<b><i>The Dybbuk</i></b> tells the terrifying tale of a young bride possessed by a dybbuk —a malicious possessing spirit, believed to be the dislocated soul of a person taken before their time— on the eve of her wedding. This production is dedicated to the
memory of our friend, Reuben Silver, a Cleveland theater legend and one of the founders of the CSU Dramatic Arts program.<span class="apple-converted-space"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

<b><i>Angels in America Part 1: Millennium Approaches</i></b>. Directed by Russ Borski, this epic drama of America in the 1980s focuses on the stories of two troubled couples, one gay, one straight. Their stories become intertwined and the tale turns into what
the <i>New York Times </i>has called "A vast, miraculous play.... provocative, witty and deeply upsetting.... a searching and radical rethinking of American political drama."- Frank Rich.</span><b><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

<b><i>Tale of a West Texas Marsupial Girl</i></b>, written by Lisa D’Amour. Directed by Holly Holsinger, with music and story consultation by Sxip Shirey, this Plays for Young Audiences piece is a musical that explores the themes of acceptance and “fitting
in”. This girl is approximately 95-percent girl and about 5-percent marsupial. In other words, she’s got a pouch. It might seem that a built-in pocket would come in handy, but it doesn’t always work that way.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
