2018-2019 Season

[h2]ACTUALLY[/h2]
[h3]by Anna Ziegler[/h3]
[h4]November 24 – December 23, 2018[/h4]
Two freshmen at Princeton spend a night together that alters the course of their lives. They agree on the drinking, they agree on the attraction, but consent is foggy – and if unspoken, can it be called consent? A funny, witty and lyrical investigation into gender and race politics, our desire to fit in and the three sides to every story.
“RICH AND MEMORABLE! Could not be better timed!” – New York Times

[h2]INDECENT[/h2]
[h3]by Pulitzer Prize Winner Paula Vogel[/h3]
[h4]January 26 – February 24, 2019[/h4]
Inspired by the true events surrounding the controversial 1923 Broadway debut of Sholem Asch’s God of Vengeance — a play seen by some as a seminal work of Jewish culture, and by others as an act of traitorous libel. Set at a time when waves of immigrants were changing the face of America, this play with music charts the history of an incendiary drama and the path of the artists who risked their careers and lives to perform it.
“BEST PLAY OF THE YEAR! Remarkably powerful! Sheds light on a time when history, Jewish culture and the depiction of lesbian love explosively intersected!” – New York Times

[h2]THE CHILDREN[/h2]
[h3]by Lucy Kirkwood[/h3]
[h4]March 16 – April 14, 2019[/h4]
In a remote cottage on the lonely British coast, a couple of retired nuclear engineers are living a very quiet life. Outside, the world is in utter chaos following a devastating series of events. When an old friend turns up at their door, they’re shocked to discover the real reason for her visit. This scary play makes tense drama out of the catastrophic results of human meddling in the natural world. 2018 Tony Best Play Nominee!
“CRITICS PICK! Astonishing and thrilling!” – New York Times

[h2]KINGS[/h2]

[h3]by Sarah Burgess[/h3]
[h4]May 18 – June 16, 2019[/h4]
A scathingly funny new play about money, politics and the state of the American republic! Kate is a whip-smart lobbyist who doesn’t waste her time on anyone who can’t get elected and get her clients what they want- but when she represents a political neophyte with staunch ideals, she is faced with a choice that might change everything for her! Does she back the system, or back what she believes in? By the author of DRY POWDER.
“A TAUTLY INTELLIGENT DRAMA! Gives you a short, useful course on the fuel Washington runs on! It adds to a vital public discourse about the kind of government we have vs the kind we want!” – Washington Post

[h2]SKELETON CREW[/h2]

[h3]by Dominique Morisseau[/h3]
[h4]July 20 – August 18, 2019[/h4]
The play tackles the corrosion of the American Dream – and the economic, racial, and social tensions of a city, a workforce, and a nation. Set in a small factory in Detroit – the play articulates the workers struggle to survive. Their banter and confrontations are a powerful currency, posing urgent questions and revealing startling truths.
“CRITICS PICK! A deeply moral and deeply American play!” – New York Times

[h2]WIESENTHAL[/h2]

[h3]by Tom Dugan[/h3]
[h4]September 21 – October 20, 2019[/h4]
Filled with hope, humanity and humor – this is the riveting true story of Simon Wiesenthal, who devoted his life to bringing more than 1,100 Nazi war criminals to justice. Intelligent, funny, flawed and noble – his unbelievable dedication and tenacity over decades is honored in this play, which gives equal weight to his wisdom and wit during his long, purposeful life.
“MOVING! POWERFUL! These stories are heartbreaking and beautiful!” – New York Times
