NOW PLAYING

True West
by Sam Shepard
directed by John Fraissinet

This American classic by Sam Shepard was nominated for the 1983 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. The show follows a sibling rivalry between two brothers who are housesitting their mother’s home on the outskirts of the California desert. Austin, the achiever, is working on a script he has sold to a producer when his brother Lee, a demented petty thief, drops in and creates tension by pitching his own script. The play uses dark humor and escalating violence to highlight family dysfunction, the search for authenticity, and disillusionment with the American Dream. Dialogue is both funny and tense as the brothers test their relationship.

COMING IN JUNE
Asuncion
by Jesse Eisenberg
directed by Craig Tiede

Edgar, aimless and socially inept, lives with Vinny, his former T.A. in Binghamton, NY. Both are committed to being actively anti-racist. In fact, Edgar maintains a blog condemning American imperialism, and Vinny is three-quarters into a Ph.D. in Black Studies. When Edgar’s older brother Stuart announces his marriage to a young Filipina woman named Asuncion, and begs them to take her in as their new roommate while he cleans up a problem from her past, the boys have a perfect opportunity to demonstrate how open-minded they truly are. They each spectacularly fail, revealing their subconscious biases and real connection to each other.

Featuring

Edgar – Terry Nickerson

Vinny – Wilson Wade Hines

Asuncion – Gabie Hocson

Stuart – Raphael Pelczmann
