ONE FLEA SPARE
by Naomi Wallace
Directed by Alexander Strain
February 17 – March 12, 2011
As the streets of 1665 London pile up with bodies, a
rough-spoken sailor and a precocious young girl steal indoors, only to
discover themselves quarantined for a month with the wealthy master and
mistress of the house.
One Flea Spare is a
searing and bawdy Black Plague comedy that explores the limits of
compassion in a tale about sex, class and disease. Winner of the 1997
Obie Award for Best Play and from the MacArthur Fellowship “Genius
Award” winning writer and Kentucky native, Naomi Wallace.
BOBRAUSCHENBERGAMERICA
by Charles Mee
June 2 – June 25, 2011
directed by Derek Goldman
A fantastical road trip through the American landscape,
written as Robert Rauschenberg might conceive it had he been a
playwright instead of a painter.
Inspired by one of America’s greatest visual artists, Charles Mee creates a Rauschenberg-esque collage of images, music, and dance that paints a distinct history of a nation and culture as well as a glimpse into its future. Whimsical and nostalgic, bobrauschenbergamerica is a joyous celebration of life and art.
