2021-2022 SEASON
OUTSIDE MULLINGAR
By John Patrick Shanley
Directed by Douglas Gilpin
Anthony has spent his entire life on a cattle farm in rural Ireland which, due to his painful shyness, suits him well. Rosemary lives right next door and is determined to have him. In a journey that is funny, heartbreaking, and deeply moving, these yearning, eccentric souls fight their way towards each other amidst a simmering land feud, a threat of disinheritance, and their own obstinance.

MEN ON BOATS
By Jaclyn Backhaus
Directed by Lacy Klinger
Ten explorers. Four boats. One Grand Canyon. Men On Boats is the mostly-true story of John Wesley Powell’s 1869 expedition to chart the course of the Colorado River. The characters are given voice and movement by actors who are anything but white and male. Ride the rapids and experience the wild west as Powell and his insane yet loyal volunteers set out to chronicle the land.

THE REVOLUTIONISTS
By Lauren Gunderson
Directed by William Henshaw
In this irreverent, girl-powered comedy set during the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror, playwright Olympe de Gouges, assassin Charlotte Corday, former queen Marie Antionette, and Haitian rebel Marianne Angelle hang out, murder Marat, and try to beat back the extremist insanity of 1793 Paris. It’s a true story. Or is it? Either way, it ends in a song and a scaffold.

ANTIGONE
By Sophocles
Director TBD
In the aftermath of a bloody war, a nation is left divided by politics and faith. Outraged and driven by her fierce love, loyalty, and morality, Antigone chooses to defy the overwhelming power of her uncle, the newly-appointed king, in the pursuit of what is right.

LOVE LETTERS
with Claudia Beach and Marc Miller
By A.R. Gurney
Directed by William Henshaw
Andrew and Melissa, both born to wealth and position, are childhood friends whose lifelong correspondence begins with birthday party thank-you notes and summer camp postcards. Romantically attached, they continue to exchange letters through the boarding school and college years, war, marriages, careers, and children. Andy’s last letter makes it eloquently clear how much they really meant, and gave to, each other over the years—physically apart, perhaps, but spiritually as close as only true lovers can be.
