The Shape of Things

 by Neil Labute

 
Audition Dates: May 28 & 29, 2013 @ 7 pm


Dates: July 18, 19, 20, 21, 25, 26, 27, *28, 2013  

In a modern version of Adam's seduction by Eve, The Shape of Things pits gentle, awkward, overweight Adam against experienced, analytical, amoral Evelyn, a graduate student in art. After a chance meeting at a museum, Evelyn and Adam embark on an intense relationship that causes shy and principled Adam to go to extraordinary lengths, including cosmetic surgery, and a betrayal of his best friend, to improve his appearance and character. In the process, Evelyn's subtle and insistent coaching results in a reconstruction of Adam's fundamental moral character. The Shape of Things challenges society's most deeply entrenched ideas about art, manipulation, and love.

 This play contains mature language and content.

Depressed and world-weary, after extensive travels, the reputedly wealthy Mrs. Ethel Savage returns to the sheltered precincts of The Cloisters, seeking refuge among her former fellow patients. But The Cloisters is on the verge of closing due to lack of funds, and as Mrs. Savage's fortune is now in the control of her greedy stepchildren, she is powerless to help. Filled with delightful plot twists and turns, the play leads to a heartwarming lesson in the essential goodness that lurks somewhere even in the worst (and sanest) of us..

Dearly Beloved

By Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope, Jamie Wooten 

Audition Dates: February 24 & 25, 2014 @ 7pm

Dates: April 24, 25, 26, 27, May 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 9, 10, 11, 15, 16, 17, 18, 22, 23, 24, *25, 2013

The Futrelle Sisters, Frankie, Honey Raye and Twink, are throwing a wedding. Frankie has almost made herself sick with elaborate preparations for her daughter Tina Jo’s antebellum-inspired wedding, and the rumor mill in their small town of Fayro, Texas, is working overtime. No surprise there, as the Futrelle Sisters have never been strangers to gossip. After all, they did survive the scandalous breakup of their almost-famous gospel singing trio, The Sermonettes. But Twink’s desperate attempts to get her boyfriend of 15½ years down the aisle, Frankie’s ongoing conversations with their dead mother, and Honey Raye’s tendency to race to the altar at every opportunity have kept tongues wagging for years.
