MOLLY SWEENEY by Brian Friel: March 15 -31
Blind since infancy, Molly is persuaded by her husband and a surgeon to undergo an operation to try to restore her sight. “What has she got to lose?” the men ask. This powerful drama by one of Ireland’s greatest playwrights tells Molly’s story through monologues from the perspective of three characters: Molly, her husband Frank, and her surgeon Mr. Rice.
Molly: Maggie Wininger
Frank: C J Langdon
Mr. Rice: Paul Gutting

WOMAN IN MIND (DECEMBER BEE) by Alan Ayckbourn: June 7 – 23
Susan, a housewife who is married to a rather boring cleric, is knocked out by a garden rake. She experiences hallucinations, imagining an ideal family, in contrast to her tedious, oppressive real life. However, things begin to spiral out of control and become a nightmare. Ayckbourn again shows his mastery of combining tremendous humor with poignancy as relationships collapse.
Susan | Emily Baker | Bill | Danny Brown |
Andy | Isaiah Di Lorenzo | Gerald | Matt Hanify |
Tony | Joe Garner | Muriel | Susan Wylie |
Lucy | Sarah Vallo | Rick | Ryan Lawson-Maeske |

LUNGS by Duncan MacMillan: Oct 18 to Nov 3
Climate change, overpopulation, war, and political division. Why would anyone want to bring a baby into this world? Successful English playwright Macmillan addresses these issues in this “off-kilter love story (that) is brutally honest, funny, edgy and current” (The Guardian). It will be presented using its original British script.
Cast:
W will be played by Nicole Angeli
M will be played by Joel Moses
