Thunder
Rock
by Robert Ardrey
January 16 - February 9, 2020
|
As the winds of war blow
in Europe,
a veteran journalist keeps a lighthouse on an isolated
island in Lake Michigan.
Having turned his back on a world that stole his hope,
the only company he keeps are the ghosts of a ship,
sunk 90 years before.
But even ghosts have a way of pulling us back to the
world of the living.
Premiered in 1939, Thunder Rock made Robert
Ardrey's name as a playwright
and helped London weather the blitz, and Berlin
weather the surrender.
A truly remarkable fantasy, whose history is nearly as
strange as its fiction
and whose insights and demands are as strong now as
they were 80 years ago.

Radium Girls
by D.W. Gregory
Postponed til dates TBA
|
Inspired
by a true story from the 20’s, when radium was
hailed as a miracle cure and
luminous watch dials were a craze: a dial
painter has contracted a mysterious illness,
and she struggles against her employer, her family,
and public opinion for recognition and justice.
A fast-moving, play for an ensemble who play more
than 30 parts—
friends, co-workers, lovers, relatives, attorneys,
scientists,
consumer advocates, and more.
|
Fair Trade Trio
Postponed til date TBA
|
New York's string trio specializes in presenting the works

|
Michèle LaRue presents
Someone Must Wash the Dishes:
an anti-suffrage satire
Postponed til date TBA
|
In
honor of the centennial of the passing of the 19th
amendment.
Many women fought against getting the vote in the early
1900s, but none with more charm,
prettier clothes—and less logic—than the fictional speaker
in this satiric monologue,
written by pro-suffragist Marie Jenney Howe in 1912.
“Woman suffrage is the reform against nature,”
declares Howe’s unlikely, but irresistibly likeable,
heroine.
