Octavia
By Curiatius Maternus
October 13 – October 31, 2011
A World Premiere of the Roman tragedy from circa 90 AD. It is the true story of Octavia and Nero and their doomed relationship. It probably was never performed because Maternus angered the Roman Emperor Domitian for his political writings attacking the ruling class’ tyranny and was executed because of it. There is no historical or archeological record of this play ever being performed and it gives us much pleasure to present this play’s first stage production.

By Pierre Marivaux

Sylvia is a single young woman still living at home. Her father thinks it’s time she considers finding a suitable man to marry. He convinces her to meet Dorante, a possible suitor. Despondent that her father is trying to impose his taste of men on her, she and the house maid, Lisette, trade places in order to more objectively asses Dorante’s character. Unbeknownst to her, Dorante has also traded places with his butler so as to get a better assessment of Sylvia. What follows is a comedy of mixed up identities and employees taking advantage of their employers. This World Premiere translation and adaptation will delight audiences with its clever and unexpected twists.
Fortune

Due to the requirements in a will left by Roger’s ex-wife who was Winston’s mother they are required to spend 7 days locked up in a house in order to inherit the fortune . If either of them steps a foot outside the house, that person forfeits their part of the inheritance to the other. As cabin fever sets in and greed augments, family skeletons come tumbling out. Will either man be able to put up with the other before the 7 days are up? Will they survive? This World Premiere black comedy explores the underside of familial bonds. It is written by the same award winning playwright who penned Sex & War, and Homeland Insecurity, or how I learned to love the Patriot Act. The play stars Dylan Peck as Winston, Mark-Brian Sonna as Roger and is directed by Charles Ballinger.
