A Steady Rain By Keith Huff Feb. 25 – Mar 20, 2011 One night on a routine call, two Chicago cops begin a journey over three harrowing days that will change their lives forever. Joey and Denny are longtime partners and best friends. They are also men with flaws. What begins as a domestic disturbance call snowballs into an avalanche and the friends are eventually forced to offer their differing accounts of what happened. A STEADY RAIN is the investigation where the audience becomes the jury and Joey and Denny’s lives become changed forever. “Enough fiery, superbly rendered, often deeply poetic speeches, enough mood shifts, enough emotional cataclysms and action-packed storytelling to keep this hallucinatory roller-coaster ride in exciting motion.”-Variety DIRECTOR Joel Hammer CAST Scott Plate* Jeremy Kendall * Member of Actors’ Equity Association WALK UP BOX OFFICE HOURS: Wed – Sat, 2/23 – 3/19, 2-4 pm

Circle Mirror Transformation By Annie Baker April 22 – May 15, 2011 CIRCLE MIRROR TRANSFORMATION follows five small-town Vermonters as they take a community acting class, each with their own expectations. They soon learn more about each other and themselves than they bargained for. Annie Baker’s new play, extended four times at the off-Broadway Playwrights Horizons, is a beautifully crafted diorama, a petri dish in which we see, with hilarious detail and clarity, the antic sadness of a motley quintet. DIRECTOR Juliette Regnier WALK-UP BOX OFFICE HOURS: Wed – Sat, 4/20 – 5/14, 2-4 pm

Upcoming Performances:

THE TRIP TO BOUNTIFUL
A Play House premiere and our first-ever production of a work by Pulitzer-prize and Academy award-winner Horton Foote
Feb. 4 - 27, 2011 • Drury Theatre
by Horton Foote directed by Timothy Douglas co-produced with Round House Theatre
In 1947 Houston, the elderly Carrie Watts dreams endlessly of visiting her childhood home one last time before it is too late. But she must literally find a way to escape the confines of her over-bearing daughter-in-law and son. Both deeply emotional and uplifting, this haunting American classic, performed for the first time by an African-American cast, is an unforgettable meditation on the idea of home and its power to sustain us.

MY NAME IS ASHER LEV
Mar. 4 – 27, 2011 • Baxter Stage
adapted by Aaron Posner from the novel by Chaim Potok
directed by Laura Kepley
Given its premiere reading in FusionFest 2008, this adaptation of Chaim Potok’s classic novel is a captivating coming-of-age story that explores art, family, religion and loyalty. Asher Lev, a Hasidic Jew, tries to balance his artistic genius with the demands of his observant family. An intriguing conflict between the sacred and the profane that The Philadelphia Inquirer hailed as “exquisite.”

LEGACY OF LIGHT
Apr. 8 – May 1, 2011 • Drury Theatre
by Karen Zacarias
directed by Bart DeLorenzo
What is a woman’s legacy? Is it the discoveries she brings to the world through her career? Is it the children she brings into the world as a mother? Two women -- in two different centuries -- struggle with these questions... all while their clocks are ticking.

The anchor production for FusionFest 2011, this ingenious time-traveling comedy contrasts two female scientists in their forties. One, Emilie du Chatelet, living in the age of Enlightenment, races to complete her research before her child is born. The other, living in the present and unable to conceive, arranges for a surrogate to have her child. Their legacies collide in this “entertaining new comedy” (Variety) about the search for self-discovery, knowledge and love.

And by the way, one of Emilie’s theories is that “everything changes, but nothing is lost”—a fitting sentiment for the end of one Play House chapter and the beginning of another.
