Da by Hugh Leonard March 16 - April 21 Fridays & Saturdays at 8:00 pm Charlie, a middle-aged writer, goes back to Ireland for his father’s funeral, where he finds himself face-to-face with his father’s ghost -- an entirely benevolent and happy ghost, who never met a man he didn't like. As Charlie struggles to come to terms with his well-meaning but ineffectual “da” (Irish for dad), he is beset with memories of his mother, his childhood friend, his first employer, the first girl he ever lusted for and even his former (17 year old) self. Audiences everywhere have found “Da” to be a hilarious and heart-warming look at the joys -- and occasional sorrows -- of family life.

What would we remember, and what would we forget, if given the chance? In this richly spare, wondrous new play, Jordan Harrison explores the mysteries of human identity and the limits — if any — of what technology can replace.

Rope By Patrick Hamilton October 12 - November 17 Fridays & Saturdays at 8:00 pm For the mere sake of adventure, danger, and the “fun of the thing,” Wyndham Brandon persuades his weak-minded friend, Charles Granillo, to assist him in the murder of a fellow undergraduate. They place the body in a wooden chest, and to add spice to their handiwork, invite a few acquaintances, including the dead youth’s father, to a party…all the while daring their guests to uncover their horrible crime. A murder mystery in reverse that inspired the Hitchcock classic..
