November
by David Mamet
July 16-31

A political satire with enough comic ammunition to blow the left, the right and the middle out of the water. It's November on the eve of the Presidential election. President Charles H.P. Smith has poll numbers as low as "Gandhi's cholesterol" With that set-up, Pulitzer Prize winner David Mamet offers up a hilarious view of the oval office and beyond. Directed by Aaron Wexler.

A contemporary and inspired look at the classic tale from Greek mythology. As the story goes, Orpheus, a musician, falls in love with and marries an oak nymph named Eurydice. Upon her untimely death, ne plays music so mournful that the gods are moved to give him one chance to recapture his bride from the Underworld. So what did his wife think of all that ? Using rhapsodically beautiful language, contemporary characters and ingenious plot twists, Sarah Ruhl explores that question, retelling this classic tale of ill-fated love through the eyes of its heroine. Directed by Maurizio Giammarco.

An ingenious story of two HOllywood giants. 1960. London's West End. At the urging of legendary critic Kenneth Tynan, Orson Welles is set to direct Lawrence Olivier and the young Joan Plowright in Ionesco's absurdist masterpiece, Rhinoceros. Using the charged atmosphere of the rehearsal process, Pendleton creates a mesmerizing picture of success failure, betrayal and guilt among "the stars".
