Surprise Play!
We’re excited to let you in on the ground floor of a new adaptation of a classic American mystery currently under development. We can’t tell you the title, or the playwright. But we CAN tell you that the cast is on the larger side, and it has the potential to be a ton of fun. Come and give your feedback!

Red by John Logan
Master abstract expressionist Mark Rothko has just landed the biggest commission in the history of modern art, a series of murals for New York’s famed Four Seasons Restaurant. In the two fascinating years that follow, Rothko works feverishly with his young assistant, Ken, in his studio on the Bowery. But when Ken gains the confidence to challenge him, Rothko faces the agonizing possibility that his crowning achievement could also become his undoing. Raw and provocative, RED is a searing portrait of an artist's ambition and vulnerability as he tries to create a definitive work for an extraordinary setting. Cast: John Lepard and Heath Sartorius.

7:00 pm
It’s Just Walking by Kristin Stewart
When you hit a certain age, life’s curveballs can have unexpected effects. Janet is a widow who is suddenly looking at the rest of her life… and she has questions. Her grown children may not agree, however, with the answers she comes up with. Witty, poignant and thoughtful, It’s Just Walking takes us on a journey of enlightenment and delight. Cast: Katherine Banks, Sandra Birch, Brenda Lane, Patrick Loos, John Seibert.
