The
Crucible
By Arthur
Miller
September 8-October 8,
2004
Set amid the hysteria of the Salem witch hunts of
1692, this blisteringly powerful drama continues to burn with
relevance. Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Arthur Miller's
arresting story reveals the perils of entrusting justice to the
self-righteous, while the dissenting voices of individuals are
silenced by the fervor of a tormented community.

Twelfth Night
By
William Shakespeare
October
13-November 12, 2004
Separated by a shipwreck, twins
Viola and Sebastian believe each other dead but meet again in an
idyllic land under the most improbable circumstances -- she's
disguised as a pageboy for a Duke and he finds himself bewilderingly
betrothed. Shakespeare's most enchanting comedy, filled with
intoxicating poetry, is a masterpiece of mistaken identity, blithe
romance and rowdy humor. |

The
Mystery of Edwin Drood
Book, Music
and Lyrics by Rupert Holmes
December 1-31, 2004
In a boisterous
English music hall, a free-wheeling company of actors sets out to
perform a musical mystery based on a Charles Dickens novel. The only
problem? The author died before revealing who did in young Edwin
Drood, so it's up to the audience to vote for a villain. Whodunit?
The show can't go on until you decide! |

Stones in His Pockets
By Marie Jones
January 5-February 4, 2005
A
big-budget film crew descends on a rural Irish town, sweeping up the
whole community in visions of Hollywood glamour. But the movie myth
can't compete with the real-life drama that erupts when their big
dreams don't all come true. Two actors play all the townspeople and
Tinseltown types in this winner of the Olivier and Evening
Standard Awards for Best Comedy. |

The
Retreat From Moscow
By William
Nicholson
February 9-March 11,
2005
Jamie arrives for a visit with his parents to
find them strangers not only to him, but to each other. Alice's
passion is poetry. Edward's passion is gone. Like Napoleon's brutal
retreat from Moscow, their journey leaves no winners, only wounded
survivors. This incisive and sometimes humorous consideration of a
marriage that could not last was a highlight of the current Broadway
season. |

Crowns
By Regina
Taylor
Based on the Book Crowns: Portraits of Black Women in
Church Hats by Michael Cunningham and Craig
Marberry
March 16-April 15,
2005
Ask a woman about her hat and you will find out a
lot more. Brimming with joyful exuberance and full of "hattitude",
this celebration of colorful church hats and the women who wear them
is the ultimate convergence of faith and fashion. Sounds of gospel,
jazz and other musical styles enliven the stories and traditions of
strong, elegant and inspiring black women. |
