By Ed Monk
Directed by Rachael Billington
Produced by special arrangement with Playscripts, Inc. (www.playscripts.com)
It's Dad's turn to tell his three rambunctious kids their bedtime stories, but when he gets fuzzy on the details, the classics get creative: a prince with a snoring problem spices up The Princess and The Pea, The Boy Who Cried Wolf cries dinosaur instead, and Rumpelstiltskin helps turn all that pesky gold into straw. You may think you know your fairy tales, but not the way Dad tells them.

THE LARAMIE PROJECT
By Moises Kaufman and the Members of the Tectonic Theater Project
Directed by Rob Deman
THE LARAMIE PROJECT is presented by special arrangement with Broadway Licensing, LLC, servicing the Dramatists Play Service collection. (www.dramatists.com)
In October 1998, 21-year-old Matthew Shepard was kidnapped, severely beaten, and left tied to a fence in the middle of the prairie outside Laramie, Wyoming. His bloody, bruised, and battered body was not discovered until the next day, and he died several days later in an area hospital. He was the victim of this assault because he was gay. Moisés Kaufman and fellow members of the Tectonic Theatre Project made 6 trips to Laramie over the course of a year and a half, in the aftermath of the beating and during the trial of the 2 young men accused of killing Shepard. They conducted more than 200 interviews with the people of the town and constructed a deeply moving theatrical experience from these interviews and their own experiences in Laramie.

Leaving Home by David French
Directed by Juels Foster
Leaving Home is set in Toronto over one evening in 1957, when two young teenagers, Billy and Kathy, plan to get married the next day, as she’s pregnant. Even though this should be the main focus, other issues, like the fact that Billy’s Dad and Kathy’s Mom dated, while growing up in NL or that Ben, Billy’s older brother, isn’t happy living at home anymore, quickly detour the play. When it debuted in 1972, it instantly became a Canadian Classic and its timeless theme about the pivotal moment in practically everyone’s life when one “leaves home” still resonates with audiences today.
Evening shows at 7:30pm and Matinees at 2pm
