The Busy World Is Hushed September 9-12, 2010 Directed by Jimmy Chrismon Hannah, a minister and Bible scholar, finds her faith at odds with that of Thomas, her estranged, wayward son. But when an inquisitive young writer hired to assist Hannah with her latest publication learns painful secrets from Hannah's past, she spies a risky, unconventional opportunity for reconciliation.
Richard O'Brien's The Rocky Horror Show October 28-31, 2010 Directed by John Bryan That sweet transvestite and his motley crew did the time warp on Broadway in a 25th anniversary revival. Complete with sass from the audience, cascading toilet paper and an array of other audience participation props, this deliberately kitschy rock 'n' roll sci-fi gothic is more fun than ever.
24-Hour Play Project 2010 November 19-20, 2010 Playwrights, directors, designers, technicians, and actors literally have 24 hours to produce original works for our audiences! Don't miss this awesome event sponsored by The Edge!
[title of show] December 2-5, 2010 Directed by Stephanie Daniels Two struggling writers hear about a new musical theatre festival. However, the deadline for submissions is a mere three weeks away. With nothing to lose, the pair decides to try to create something new with the help of their friends. In the span of 90 minutes they write and perform their show at the festival and learn lessons about themselves as people, friends, and artists. [title of show] is, above all, a love letter to the musical theatre- a uniquely American art form- and to the joy of collaboration.
Equus February 3-6, 2011 Directed by Jimmy Chrismon Dr. Martin Dysart, a psychiatrist, is confronted with Alan Strang, a boy who has blinded six horses in a violent fit of passion. This very passion is as foreign to Dysart as the act itself. To the boy's parents it is a hideous mystery; Alan has always adored horses. To Dysart it is a psychological puzzle that leads both doctor and patient to a complex and disturbingly dramatic confrontation. This international success reached new acclaim in London and on Broadway when revived in 2008. ***This production contains full male and female nudity***
Improv Olympics 2011 March 19, 2011 Improv teams compete for the gold medal title of Improv Olympians in this special one night only event sponsored by The Edge!
Madonna & Me (US Premiere) April 7-10, 2011 Directed by Jimmy Chrismon A coming of age tale about the power of Madonna and a group of friends who grow up together on a council estate in Whiston and share life’s triumphs and disasters as a solid unit; always there for each other and always offering advice and a willing shoulder to cry on. They are one. They are a team. Until, that is, adulthood offers temptations and trials beyond their collective resistance and things begin to implode.
Miss Nelson Is Missing May 12-15, 2011 (with additional school time matinees TBA) Directed by Sheila Snow - Proctor Miss Nelson can't control her crazy classroom because she's just too nice. But when she disappears, her replacement is the hard-as-nails, detention-loving, recess-canceling, homework-overloading substitute teacher Viola Swamp! With the Big Test approaching, the kids suddenly realize how much they miss Miss Nelson and they'll do anything -- including hiring a private eye -- to solve the mystery of her disappearance and bring her back.
Gross Indecency: The Three Trials of Oscar WIlde June 9-12, 2011 Directed by Jimmy Chrismon Gross Indecency uses trial transcripts, personal correspondence, interviews and other source materials to tell the story of the downfall of the great man of letters, Oscar Wilde, whose artistic genius has long been overshadowed by the scandal surrounding his imprisonment.
The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee June 23-26, 2011 Directed by Anne Lambert Six young people in the throes of puberty, overseen by grown-ups who barely managed to escape childhood themselves, learn that winning isn't everything and that losing doesn't necessarily make you a loser. The 25th Annual Spelling Bee is a hilarious tale of overachievers' angst chronicling the experience of six adolescent outsiders vying for the spelling championship of a lifetime. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
