Four mentally handicapped men live in a communal residence in New England with the help of a young social worker who loves his work, but is discovering he is “burned out”. Split into scenes showing the daily lives of these men, there are moments of humor and sadness. The play illustrates how these men are not as different from those designated ‘normal people’ as they would appear- and how much those ‘normal people’ take for granted every day.

Performances will be in our downstairs cabaret style theater on February 10, 11, 17, & 18 at 8pm
with matinees on February 12 & 19 at 3pm.

Audition Notice:
The Laramie Project



Director: Nathan Fogg

The Laramie Project is a play by Moises Kaufman and members of the Tectonic Theater Project about the reaction to the 1998 murder of Matthew Shepard, a gay University of Wyoming student, in Laramie, Wyoming.  The murder was denounced as a hate crime motivated by homophobia and brought attention to the lack of hate crime laws in various states, including Wyoming.

A chorus of voices brings to life the thoughts and feelings of the people of Laramie, Wyoming.  The play draws on hundreds of interviews conducted by the theatre company with inhabitants of the town, company members’ own journal entries and published news reports.  It is divided into three acts, with more than sixty characters in a series of short scenes.

Love Letters
By A. R. Gurney
Directed by Matheus H. Macedo

Andrew Makepeace Ladd III and Melissa Gardner, both born to wealth and position, are childhood friends whose lifelong correspondence begins with birthday party thank-you notes and summer camp postcards. Romanticaly attached, they continue to exchange letters through the boarding school and college years—where Andy goes on to excel at Yale and law school, while Melissa flunks out of a series of "good schools." While Andy is off at war Melissa marries, but her attachment to Andy remains strong and she continues to keep in touch as he marries, becomes a successful attorney, gets involved in politics and, eventually, is elected to the U.S. Senate. Meanwhile, her marriage in tatters, Melissa dabbles in art and gigolos, drinks more than she should, and becomes estranged from her children. Eventually she and Andy do become involved in a brief affair, but it is really too late for both of them. However Andy's last letter, written to her mother after Melissa's untimely death, makes it eloquently clear how much they really meant, and gave to, each other over the years—physically apart, perhaps, but spiritually as close as only true lovers can be.
