Waiting for Godot
October 8 - 11 @ 7:30
At the turn of the millennium, American Theatre Magazine subscribers picked "Godot" as the most important play of the 20th century. This is Samuel Beckett's most significant and often produced absurdist tragicomedy.

"...at once pathetic and hilarious."

How far would you go for love? For art?  Which price might you pay?  Such are the painful questions explored by Neil Labute.  A young student drifts into an everchanging relationship with an art major while his best friend's engagement crumbles, so unleashing a drama that peels back the skin of two modern-day relationships; exposing the raw meat and gristle that lie beneath.

I Hate Hamlet

Thr greatest Hamlet of his time, John Barrymore, returns as a ghost to coach hot, young, television actor, Andrew Rally, in his attempt at the greatest role of all time.  The laughs are nonstop as Andrew wrestles with his conscience, Barrymore, his sword, and his failure as Hamlet in Central Park.  "unapologetically silly...hilarious...affectionately amusing about the theatre."
