Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike
by Christopher Durang
Director - Gregg Brevoort
August 21 - September 13, 2026
Rehearsals: July 7th – August 20th
*we will rehearse ‘summer schedule’ of Monday thru Friday until closer to Tech, to keep some summer weekends open!
In this hilarious spin on contemporary families, playwright Christopher Durang takes Chekhov characters and themes, mixes them up and puts them in a blender. Middle-aged siblings Vanya and Sonia have never left their family home, and they bicker and complain about the circumstances of their lives. Suddenly, their movie-star sister Masha, swoops in with her new boy toy, Spike. Old resentments flare up, and new threats to sell the house. A blend of sibling rivalry and absurdist farce - it is the messy, enduring bonds of family, the ache of change, and the small, stubborn joys that keep us going. Winner of the 2013 Tony Award for Best Play.

Misery
by William Goldman
Director - Jay Burns
October 9th – November 1st, 2026
Rehearsals begin in August, schedule TBD
Based on Stephen King’s novel, this thriller follows successful romance novelist Paul Sheldon, who is rescued from a car crash by his “number one fan,” Annie Wilkes, and wakes up captive in her secluded home. While Paul is convalescing, Annie reads his latest book and becomes enraged when she discovers the author has killed off her favorite character, Misery Chastain. Unwilling to let him leave, the irate Annie forces him to start a new Misery novel, and Paul quickly realizes he is writing as if his life depends on it, and it does.
