by Bob Martin and Don McKellar and music and lyrics by Lisa Lambert and Greg Morrison.

Directed by PAUL WICKLINE

A rich character study of down‐on‐their‐luck individuals, In Arabia We’d All Be Kings is set amidst the backdrop of New York City’s gentrification in the 90′s and offers a bleak look into the lives of those being displaced.

Originally written by Stephen Adly Guirgis and directed by Philip Seymour Hoffman, this play centers around one bar in Hell’s Kitchen where a motley crew of down and out characters gather to drown their sorrows.

This production contains graphic language and adult situations and is recommended for mature audiences only. Parental discretion is advised for children under 13. Children under the age of 5 are not allowed in the theater.

According to Variety, “the play underscores the tragic truth that the human psyche yearns for stability and will eventually accept any remnant of it that can be found.”

The  Heidi Chronicles by Wendy Wasserstein

Directed by RANDEE TRABITZ

Wendy Wasserstein’s 1989 Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize‐winning play chronicles the glory days of the feminist movement through the character of art historian Heidi Holland. Over a 25‐year period ‐‐ from high‐school in the mid‐sixties through the “having‐it‐all” era of the late eighties ‐‐ the experiences of Heidi and her friends and lovers chart the transformative political and social changes of that exhilarating period.

This production contains profanity and adult situations and is recommended for mature audiences only. Parental discretion is advised for children under 13. Children under the age of 5 are not allowed in the theater.

The New York Times critic Mel Gussow wrote of the Playwrights Horizon production: "Ms. Wasserstein has always been a clever writer of comedy. This time she has been exceedingly watchful about not settling for easy laughter, and the result is a more penetrating play. This is not to suggest, however, that The Heidi Chronicles is ever lacking in humor."

AUDITIONS: February 6 & 7 @ 6:30 PM in the Black Box Theatre

Equus by Peter Shaffer

Directed by JOHN DEMITA

Equus chronicles the disturbing details of a young man who by all accounts seems to be a normal teenager with a passion for horses. But on the inside, he harbors something very dark.

Dr. Martin Dysart, a psychiatrist, is confronted with Alan Strang, a boy who has blinded six horses in a violent fit of passion. This very passion is as foreign to Dysart as the act itself. To the boy's parents it is a hideous mystery; Alan has always adored horses. To Dysart it is a psychological puzzle that leads both doctor and patient to a complex and disturbingly dramatic confrontation. This powerful, controversial play was an international success and reached new acclaim in London and on Broadway when revived in 2008.

Equus is a Tony award winning drama that raises thought‐provoking issues and will leave the audience deep in thought even after the production has ended.

Recommended for mature audiences due to nudity, profanity and adult content. Parental discretion is advised for children under 13. Children under the age of 5 are not allowed in the theater.
