The Road Weeps, The Well Runs Dry
by Marcus Gardley
Directed by Aaron Davidman
A group of former slaves and Seminoles wrestle with identity and survival as they forge a new life in Oklahoma in the mid-1800s. Gorgeously cadenced language and daring humor summon the spirit of August Wilson in this gripping story by one of theater’s brightest new talents.
"I think actors are the most valuable resource that playwrights have. They put the character in their body and you're able to see and hear if certain lines work."
Marcus Gardley
April 25 and 26 at 8 p.m.
War Music
Adapted and directed by Lillian Groag
Based on the book by Christopher Logue
Catch a sneak preview! This groundbreaking work-in-progress reignites the wrath of Greek warrior Achilles against his archrival, Agamemnon, in a wildly theatrical, totally modern interpretation of one of the mightiest conflicts of all time.
"Brilliantly original, consummately crafted . . . it is poetry that shines with greatness."
