2011-2012 SEASON: Upcoming

"A dark play about the Dark Ages." Welcome to Priseaux, France, c.1250 A.D. The river flooded again last week, and the chandler's shop just burned to the ground. Saint Foy, the patron of the local monastery, hasn't worked a miracle in thirteen years. In other words, the Dark Ages still look pretty dark. All eyes turn to the Pope, whose promised visit will surely encourage other pilgrims to make the trek and restore the abbey to its former glory. That is, until a rival church claims to possess the relics of Saint Foy - and their bones are working miracles. All seems lost until the destitute monks take a lesson from a larcenous one-eyed minstrel, who teaches them an outrageous new way to pay old debts.

In July 1918, the four daughters of the last Russian Tsar--Olga, Tatiana, Marie and Anastasia--face their final days under house arrest. As they await their fate at the hands of the Bolsheviks, the sisters remain confident of rescue or escape, lose and gain hope of survival, grieve the loss of their old life, and imagine what the future might bring. To pass the time they rehearse The Cherry Orchard, and consider how Chekhov's masterpiece mirrors their own predicament, and that of Russia's.

On October 6th of 1998, Matthew Shepard, a young gay man, was beaten and left to die tied to a fence in the outskirts of Laramie, Wyoming. He died 6 days later. His torture and murder became a national news event that highlighted the nation's deep-seated cultural bias against homosexuality. A month after the murder, members of the Tectonic Theater Project traveled to Laramie and conducted interviews with the people of the town. From these interviews came the play The Laramie Project. Poignant, moving, and theatrically enticing, it is one of the most celebrated plays of the last decade.
