Show Schedule:

BARBECUE
September 22-November 1 - The O’Mallerys have gathered in their local park to share some barbecue and straight talk with their sister Barbara, whose spiral of drugs and recklessness has forced her siblings to stage an open-air intervention. A play that proves family can be a bigger vice than any other addiction.

ECLIPSED
September 29 - November 8 - Amid the chaos of the Liberian Civil War, the captive wives of a rebel officer band together to form a fragile community–until the balance of their lives is upset by the arrival of a new girl. A portrait of women finding and testing their own strength in a hostile world of horrors not of their own making; a story of survival and resilience.

FIRST DAUGHTER SUITE
October 6-November 15 - A historical fantasia in four-parts, FIRST DAUGHTER SUITE follows Patricia Nixon and daughters Tricia and Julie, Roselyn and Amy Carter, Betty and Susan Ford, Patti Davis and mom Nancy Reagan, and Barbara Bush and daughter-in-law Laura as they strive to live meaningful lives in the public eye, while dealing with the complex private relationships all of us face with our parents and children. A new musical about mothers, daughters and the surprising discoveries we make about one another as we grow.
 
BEFORE YOUR VERY EYES
October 17 – November 29 - From behind the safety of one-way mirrors, the audience witness seven lives lived in fast forward—from angst-ridden teens to hunched geriatrics. As we adults try to stop the process of aging and preserve youth as long as we can, the children peer into the future and nostalgically back at their recent past, as they prepare to leave childhood behind forever.

THE COMEDY OF ERRORS
November 1-22 - Mistaken identity leads to delightful mayhem in the Bard’s classic play about two sets of twins separated by stormy seas. When one pair dares to trespass into a foreign city to find the other, the comedy of errors begins and the long-lost brothers must overcome wrongful imprisonment, angry wives and hilarious confusion on their journey to a joyful reunion.

UNDER THE RADAR FESTIVAL – 12^TH EDITION
January 6-17, 2016 - This highly-anticipated 12-day festival in January showcases cutting-edge theater from around the U.S. and the world.

GERMINAL (First Show Announced of the Festival) On an empty stage, four performers begin to construct the world from scratch. With ingenious theater magic, they gleefully invent laws of physics, philosophy, music, language and codes for social interaction. GERMINAL uses the theater as a whimsical metaphor for human civilization.

Three-Play Cycle
THE GABRIELS: Election Year in the Life of One Family
Play One: HUNGRY
February 27-March 20, 2016 - The first in a new three-play cycle introducing us to the Gabriels of Rhinebeck, New York. Subtitled Election Year in the Life of One Family, these three plays track the lives of the Gabriels throughout the coming presidential election year; the final play will open on Election Day, November 8, 2016. HUNGRY places us in the center of the Gabriel’s kitchen. The family discusses their lives and disappointments, and the world at large and nearby, as they struggle against the fear of being left behind and the challenge to find resilience in the face of loss.

DRY POWDER
March 1-April 10, 2016 - The same week his private equity firm forced massive layoffs at a national grocery chain, Rick threw himself an extravagant engagement party, setting off a publicity nightmare. Fortunately, Seth, one of Rick’s managing directors, has a win-win deal to invest in an American-made luggage company for a song and rescue his boss from the company’s PR disaster. But Jenny, Seth’s counterpart, has an entirely different plan: to squeeze every last penny out of the company, no matter the human toll. A play about the price of success and the real cost of getting the deal done. 

HEAD OF PASSES
March 15-April 24, 2016 - A new drama about family, acceptance and the power of faith. At the mouth of the Mississippi River, Shelah’s family and friends have come to celebrate her birthday and save her from a leaking roof. But in this contemporary parable inspired by the Book of Job, unexpected events turn the reunion into the ultimate test of faith and love. As her world seems to collapse around her, Shelah must fight to survive the rising flood of life’s greatest challenges. In a co-production with Berkeley Repertory Theatre.

THE TOTAL BENT
May 10-June 19, 2016 - A riotous new musical at the crossroads of the sacred and profane, survival and liberation, gospel and rock ‘n’ roll. THE TOTAL BENT is about the passions that divide a father and son as they make their music and make their choice between salvation and selling out.

ROMEO & JULIET
May 10-29, 2016 - In some of the most romantic language ever written for the stage, young Romeo and Juliet become fortune’s fools when the ancient grudge between their families forces them to sacrifice all for the chance to be together. A classic tale of star-crossed lovers.
