MAIN/STAGE
September 5 - September 29
Often included in lists of the greatest American 20th-century plays, and often one of the few on those lists written by a woman, Machinal recounts a woman’s rebellion against her husband and society. As a journalist, Treadwell covered the case of Ruth Snyder, an American woman who murdered her husband and was publicly executed in the electric chair. Treadwell was a Mexican-American playwright whose stark, 1928 play is still chillingly modern.

ON THE VERGE, OR THE GEOGRAPHY OF YEARNING by Eric Overmyer
Directed by Kimberley Lynne* and Penelope Chan*
November 8 - December 1
Heed the call to discovery! Journey through uncharted territories! With wit, nerve, and proper Victorian sensibilities, three intrepid explorers bushwhack and time-travel their way through rain forest and glacier of Terra Incognita—the last uncharted land on the globe. This imaginative and lyrical play explores women's place in the universe, unbound by time, space, or location.
This bold play by playwright and poet Dominique Morisseau (Confederates, Sunset Baby, Detroit ’67,and Skeleton Crew) examines the miscarriage of justice and racial double standards, as students today still protest on college campuses. This striking ensemble drama is based on the Jena Six case; six Black students were initially charged with attempted murder for a school fight after being provoked by nooses hanging from campus trees.

Often our best selling production of the year, and involving the efforts of many, many volunteers, this festival will once again showcase ten short plays written by ten local playwrights, performed by an ensemble of ten actors.
For the TENTH time.
