The Memorandum
by Vaclav Havel
directed by Chris Beach
An anonymous corporation introduces a new corporate language under the guise of improved efficiency and accuracy of truth and meaning, but the real goal is disruption of the corporate, governmental and civil systems and to place control in the hands of a few. In the end the people’s truth wins out with a final message before everyone goes off on a lunch break spoken by the play’s central character, Mr. Gross
“The most important thing now is not to lose hope, not to lose your smile, or your love of life, or your faith in people.”

Sense and Sensibility
by Kate Hamill based on the novel by Jane Austen
directed by Ashley Teague
A playful new adaptation of Jane Austen’s beloved novel follows the fortunes (and misfortunes) of the Dashwood sisters—sensible Elinor and hypersensitive Marianne—after their father’s sudden death leaves them financially destitute and socially vulnerable. Set in gossipy late 18th-century England, with a fresh female voice, the play is full of humor, emotional depth, and bold theatricality. Sense and Sensibility examines our reactions, both reasonable and ridiculous, to societal pressures. When reputation is everything, how do you follow your heart?
