Synopsis: "When the shtick hits the fan." In this evening of all-out zaniness, Colette Freedman's five one-act plays hit their comic targets. Fractured biblical sayings, brightly lit on the set's back wall and featured between acts (e.g., "Thou shalt not kill . . . unless she's more popular than you are") are cleverly written. | ||||

Notes: Original Playwright - Euripides | ||||
Synopsis: With the three woman chorus speaking solely in Iambic Pentameter, this modern-dress adaptation becomes a chilling account of how the juggernaut of religion, nationalism and political need can create a state-sanctioned suicide martyr. Given the Iraq war and the fierce debate over religious fundamentalism in the Middle East and at home, it's hard to find a more relevant piece of theater than this modern adaptation of Euripides' 2,500-year-old tragedy. | ||||

Synopsis: 138 reams of white paper. 27 different brands of vodka. 5 Russian stacking dolls. 4 sisters. 1 manipulative mother. Sister Cities is a witty commentary on the dignity of choice, and the power of relationships. Mary, the family matriarch, has named each of her four daughters after cities, well, almost. Separated by years, different fathers, and miles between them, the sisters are brought together when their mother's profound decision dominos into a startling reunion. The clever dialogue and taut emotional scenes underscore the presentation of the major questions about family, dignity, and choice. | ||||
