Our New Season

TALK RADIO
By Eric Bogosian
September 13 – October 7, 2007

Barry Champlain, Cleveland's controversial radio host is on the air doing what he does best: insulting the pathetic souls who call in the middle of the night to sound off. Tomorrow, Barry's show is going into national syndication and his producer is afraid that Barry will say something that will offend the sponsors. This, of course, makes Barry even more outrageous.

“100 minutes of pure theatrical adrenaline” -- Time Out New York

“Potent, pungent, and wickedly entertaining!” -- The New York Sun

"RADIO crackles with intensity" -- New York Daily News

“Riveting!” -- New York Post

GUEST ARTIST
By Jeff Daniels
November 29 – December 23, 2007
Steinberg New Play Award Nomination for 2007

In his most autobiographical work yet, Jeff Daniels explores the glory of theater, hero worship and the nature of artistic risk in a gentle and poignant comedy about a burned-out playwright who visits a small town theater company that has commissioned what may be his last play.

“…passionate, thought-provoking…an intensely gripping production…Wow!” -- Between The Lines

“Jeff Daniels’ 10th play is his best yet.” -- Detroit Free Press

“pure perfection…there’s something in GUEST ARTIST that transcends the stage.” -- Oakland Press

“powerful and smart…For this rare moment of communal grace, we have Daniels to thank.” -- The Ann Arbor News

DIRTY STORY (Florida Premiere)
By John Patrick Shanley
(of “Moonstruck” and “Doubt” fame)
February 28 – March 23, 2008

Don’t miss this new comedy by Pulitzer, Oscar, Tony, Drama Desk award winner John Patrick Shanley! When an aspiring novelist seeks the advice of a successful writer she gets more than she bargained for. But when a dispute arises, her ex-boyfriend, a pistol-toting cowboy, sledgehammers the door and enters with his sidekick, a British bartender, at which point the story takes a surprising allegorical turn.

"Appallingly entertaining…one of the liveliest, boldest and—against the odds—funniest studies ever of a subject that even hard-core satirists tend to approach on tiptoe." — NY Times.

A BODY OF WATER
By Lee Blessing
May 8 – June 1, 2008

What would you do if you woke up one morning, and didn't recognize where you were? Not only that, you didn't know WHO you were?
