2001 - 2002 Season
subUrbia
by Eric Bogosian
They drink beer, get high, and eat Oreos. They believe their young twenty-something lives will never change as they
hang out, day after day, at the local convenience store. They couldn't believe what happened one night at their
neighborhood hang-out, and neither will you. This ambitious contemporary play has a brave, unexpected twist that
will leave you speechless. A not to be missed and definitely not for the faint-of-heart. Rated "R" for
language.

It's a Wonderful Life
adapted by Jay Malarcher from the screenplay by Frances Goodrich, Albert Hackett, and Frank Capra
George Bailey is at a crisis point in his life—standing on a bridge ready to jump. With the help of a guardian
angel, he gets a rare insight into what the world would be like if he had never been born. This beloved holiday classic
celebrating community, family, and the difference one person can make comes to the stage in what we hope will become a

Fleece—all for the passionate love of the Greek adventurer Jason. The stage is set for one of the most intense
tragedies in world drama. Don't miss this production, exploring a primitive and primal tale filled with passion, blood
and revenge.

The Idiots Karamazov
by Christopher Durang and Albert Innauarato
Basically a parody of the worst excesses of Russian literature, this farce makes (non)sense of authors like Dostoyevsky,
Tolstoy, and Chekhov. Think Monty Python meets the classics. And Monty Python wins. Its the closest thing we could find
to the anarchic zaniness that characterized the Marx Brothers of Animal Crackers fame.
