This is a powerful, true drama of six women who went to Vietnam: five nurses and a country western singer booked by an unscrupulous agent to entertain the troops. The play portrays each young woman before, during, and after her tour in the war-torn nation, their struggle to make sense of a war that irrevocably changed them, a nation that shunned them, and ends as each leaves a personal token at the memorial wall in Washington. A Piece of My Heart is a work with the music and soul of a tumultuous era in our history.

While preparations are underway for the marriage of Athenian duke Theseus and Amazon queen Hippolyta, fairy king Oberon and his tricky jester, Puck, make mischief with the indiscriminate use of a powerful love potion. Lysander and Demetrius both fall for Helena, raising the jealousy of Hermia, whose father is pressuring her to marry Demetrius despite Lysander's love for her. Four Athenians run away to the forest only to have Puck makes both boys fall in love with the same girl. The four run through the forest pursuing each other while Puck helps his master play a trick on the fairy queen. Meanwhile, a group of Athenian tradesmen (known as the Mechanicals), led by Peter Quince, are planning to perform a play in celebration of the duke’s wedding. They rehearse The Tragedy of Pyramus and Thisbe in the same forest. Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream is timeless story of order and disorder, reality, appearance, love, and marriage.

A Broadway success, this dark comedy probes deeply into the tortured relationship of three sisters whose lives have reached a crisis point. The three Reardon sisters: Catherine, Anna, and Ceil, have grown up in a house dominated by their mother, who has recently passed. A scandalous event brings the three sisters together since their mother’s passing. Deep resentments erupt and are exacerbated by the intrusion of a well-meaning but boorish couple, whose unexpected arrival thrusts the action towards its shattering conclusion.
