 ~ a stirring story of a family torn apart by deception Considered Ibsen’s most controversial play, Ghosts caused a furor when it was first published and it remains one of the Norwegian master’s most influential works. Mrs. Alving wants to protect her late husband’s memory and avoid the awful truth: he was a cheating, immoral philanderer whose public reputation was a sham. Things begin to unravel when their dying son, Osvald, announces his plan to marry the family’s maid. This is a must-see play, as timely today as the most recent headlines for its piercing insights into maintaining appearances at all costs. Rick Davis’ and Brian Johnston’s “spare, clear and briskly colloquial translation” (San Francisco Chronicle) is directed by Gil Lazier and stars Jessica K. Peterson as Helene Alving. 8:00 pm June 24, 25, 26, 30; July 1*, 2, 3, 7, 8*, 9, 10 |

 “touches the heart and mind in equal measure” ~ Toronto Star Michael Healey’s poignant drama about the complex ties that bind a pair of World War II veterans is loaded with twists and surprises. Boyhood friends Morgan and Angus have been living together as farmers since they returned home from the war, where Angus suffered a brain injury that left him with little capacity for memory. Things change when Miles, a young actor, comes to help them on the farm. There’s plenty of humor as the city kid experiences life on the farm, but Miles’ well-intentioned meddling leads to catastrophic changes in all their lives. Directed by Carole Kleinberg, The Drawer Boy stars Ken Ferrigni, Don Walker and Kenneth Tigar. 8:00 pm July 15, 16, 17, 21, 22*, 23, 24, 28, 29*, 30, 31 |
