Through the reunion and turmoil of one family, this Broadway hit exposes the disillusionment Americans felt in the aftermath of the Vietnam War. Set in a Missouri farmhouse belonging to the Talley family during the 1970s, it reveals how Wilson’s vision continues to resonate within our culture, and is being presented to honor the work and leadership of this playwright during a renaissance of American Theatre and the Off-Broadway movement. more info...

A creative drama class in a small Vermont town becomes the catalyst that exposes its participants to tender moments of vulnerability . . . where honesty becomes both revealing and hilarious. The New York Times called it an “absorbing, unblinking and sharply funny play.” This rising-star playwright’s work simply asks, “What makes theatre the most human of all the arts?” see show poster
