English Made Simple and Time Flies by David Ives
Directed by Ben Dostalek
English Made Simple: A young man and woman meet at a party, and their immediate romantic attraction is translated into comically unromantic grammar lessons as they struggle to free themselves from the banal constrictions of party talk.
Time Flies: Two lonely but sweet young mayflies meet at a pond and really hit it off. Unfortunately, Horace and May watch a nature program on this first night out and discover they have a lifespan of only one day – and their lives are half over.
Seagulls by Caryl Churchill
Directed by Audrey Walters
A department store clerk has recently become famous for her telekinetic powers after nabbing a shoplifter by willing the item he stole right up out of his bag. On her way to Harvard for scientific testing, her powers deserted her. Is this the result of meeting an odd fan? Perhaps her awareness that now she is a commodity to be exploited is responsible? Or is it that strange, glowing box with a rocket on the side?
“Seagulls” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com
A Betrothal by Lanford Wilson
Directed by Tyler Robertson
A warm-hearted and humorous study of two fanatical iris-breeders who meet at a flower show. Annoyed and disappointed that their wonderful creations have been so rudely ignored by the judges, they eventually pool their anger and resources resulting in the birth of an exciting new project – the creation of a crossbreed of their two would-be champions which would surely rock the horticultural world!
