Frankenstein
By Danielle Mohlman
Directed by Lanoree Blake
September 9-25thth  Rehearsals start July 18th
 
When Mary Shelley sits down to write Frankenstein, she’s 18 years old with everything to prove. Her husband, the poet Percy Shelley, is too in his head to notice his wife’s phenomenal talent. She’s grieving the death of her infant daughter. And in this era of gothic literature, no one wants to believe that the darkness on the page mirrors the storm in her own head. That is, until her mother shows up. The only problem is, Mary Wollstonecraft died when Shelley was just ten days old.
This adaptation of Mary Shelley’s classic novel explores monsters and the women who create them. It’s a play that asks the age-old question: How far would you go to outrun your ghosts?

The Lady was a Gentleman
By Barbara Kahn
Directed by Emma Hooks
May 5-21, 2023

 
St. Louis, MO. 1858. Charlotte Cushman’s opening night as Romeo, one of her most famous male roles, leads to a case of the jitters, and encounters with an amorous young female fan and a frontierswoman and her mail-order bride. Charlotte’s hectic life on and offstage is held together by her trusted assistant Sallie Mercer, a free and educated black woman during the time of slavery in the U.S. Based on the life of the most famous actress in the English-speaking theatre in the 19th century, who lived her life loving other women, including sculptor Emma Stebbins, designer of Central Park’s Bethesda Fountain.

R & J

Devised and Directed by Susan Stroupe
Adapted from “Romeo & Juliet” by William Shakespeare
June 9-25, 2023

 
A newly devised, modern adaptation based on Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.  This star-crossed couple  is entirely non-traditional from what we’re used to seeing.  Juliet – 40+, fat, and queer.  Romeo is much a younger trans-man.  The rest of the characters are doubled and non-conventionally cast.  Script will be written by a diverse pairing of playwrights based on devising workshops starting in Winter 2023.
