All Plays
A Lovely Sunday for Creve Coeur
By Tennessee Williams
Directed by Robynn Rodriguez
Tennessee Williams may have succumbed to fits of optimism in his later years. Case in point, this story about women stepping beyond youth, and the friends they choose to take with them on that tricky path. They’re a rare delight, the divergent ladies at the heart of this play — funny and flawed, with iron wills eclipsing their circumstances. You can’t help but pull for people so deserving of a happy ending. Even when they’re exasperating, they’re so endearing, each with her own shining moments of grace. Life, after all, has a way of defying expectations. It helps if someone’s got your back. But it may not be the someone you expect
Runs June 14 – September 26.

The Brothers Size
By Tarell Alvin McCraney
Directed by Gavin Lawrence
In the Louisiana bayou, Ogun Size is the hardworking and steady brother to the younger Oshoosi. Ogun worries constantly about his brother, who's fresh out of jail, restless and aimless. When Elegba, Oshoosi's old prison-mate arrives with a gift, their relationship is thrown out of balance. Influenced by the rich culture of the Yoruba people of West Africa, this contemporary tale begins in ritual and evolves into a tough and tender drama of what it means to brother and be brothered. Combining flights of poetry, music, and dance, The Brothers Size explores the tenuousness of freedom and the need to belong somewhere, to something, to someone.

Mother of the Maid
By Jane Anderson
Directed by Peter G. Andersen
What's a mother to do when her child tells her she's hearing voices? A difficult question under any circumstance, and infinitely more difficult when that child is a future saint. Isabelle and Jacques find themselves not only raising - and losing - a headstrong daughter, but one who will one day be known as Joan of Arc.
