"CLARA" by Arthur Miller
Directed by Christian Allison
A powerful and moving drama in which an aging father is forced to come to grips
with the crushing reality of his daughter's senseless murder. Grilled
relentlessly by a dispassionate detective, the father is unable to bring his
memory into focus until, in the trenchant monologue recalling a disquieting
incident from his wartime experience, the past suddenly clarifies the present
and, relieving the father's tortured conscience, unlocks the damning evidence
which the detective has been seeking.
"SURE THING" by David Ives
Directed by Kristen Jennings
Two people meet in a cafe and find their way through a conversational minefield
as an offstage bell interrupts their false starts, gaffes, and faux pas on the
way to falling in love.
"PITCHING TO THE STAR" by Donald Margulies
Directed by Brian Duskey
When Peter finally gets a good break for his Hollywood script, he finds himself
PITCHING TO THE STAR of the pilot show. Promised control over something he's
worked long and hard on, he finds his integrity and his storyline attacked every
time the star makes a suggestion to completely change his script and make the
lead character exactly like herself.
"SCHUBERT'S LAST SERENADE" by Julie Bovasso
Directed by Ian Johnston
A hardly literate, hard hat construction worker escorts a high tone, college
educated and liberated young lady to a plush restaurant. They met and fell in
love at a demonstration during which he cracked her skull with a two by four.
She enthuses over his commanding manner and he responds laconically in
monosyllables, while Franz Schubert plays his serenade on a violin. The cook,
and waiter race in and out, and a maitre d' comments continually to the
audience. The actors suit their actions to the maitre d's words until the very
end, when everything goes haywire.
