This Season's Past Shows
Directed by: Adrienne D. Williams
Emmie is one of the only Black people living in Paris, Vermont, and she desperately needs a job. When she is hired at Berry’s, a big box store off the interstate at Christmas time, she begins to understand a new kind of isolation. Paris is a dramedy about invisibility, being underpaid, and how it feels to work on your feet for ten hours a day.

Once upon a time, a rain cloud fell in love with a human. As Dolan - who bears an uncanny resemblance to author Hans Christian Andersen - tries to tell this simple and sweet tale, he keeps getting mysteriously sabotaged- and drawn deeper into his past.

The Seagull is one of the great plays about writing. It superbly captures the struggle for new forms, the frustrations and fulfillment of putting words on a page and on a stage. It is a play about love, theater and disappointment. Chekhov, in his first major play, stages a vital argument about the theatre that still resonates today.

In this Soviet-era satire, an irrepressible midnight craving for sausage leads an unemployed "little man" living off his wife's meagre wages to consider ending his life. Word of his impending death gets out, and within a few hours Semyon is proclaimed a great hero of the people who is about to take his life in a courageous and meaningful act of freedom and defiance. Only he just can't bring himself to do it.
Set in the Soviet Union in the late 1920s, where "only a dead man can say what a living man thinks," Dying for It is a free adaptation of Nikolai Erdman's The Suicide: a play that was banned by Stalin's authorities in 1932 before its first performance. Erdman, who was sent to Siberia and silenced in his time, skillfully uses farce to capture the absurdity of life under a fascist regime, asking the ultimate question, 'why live'? Buffini reclaims this subversive Soviet classic in a celebration of the power of theatre.
