The Plays:
The Trip to Bountiful
by Horton Foote
Allen Theatre
May 7 - June 6
In 1947 Houston, the elderly Carrie Watts dreams endlessly of visiting her childhood home one last time before it is too late. But first, before she embarks on a sentimental journey home, she must find a way to escape the suffocating confinement of an over-bearing daughter-in-law and under-serving son. Both heartbreaking and uplifting, this haunting American classic is an unforgettable meditation on the idea of Home and its power to sustain us.
The Female of the Species
by Joanna Murray-Smith
Falls Theatre
June 18 - July 18
Loosely based on a true story, this hilarious satire follows the plucky, obstinate, and opinionated feminist writer Margot Mason on her descent into the tortuous territory of writer's block and the misadventures of a day gone wrong. No feminist doctrine goes unscathed when this sacred monster of the movement is taken hostage by a disillusioned disciple in this viciously funny play about gender politics.
Yankee Tavern
by Steven Dietz
Allen Theatre
July 30 - August 29
From the acclaimed playwright who brought us the world-premiere of Becky's New Car in 2008, comes this astutely funny dramatic thriller brimming with edge of your seat intrigue. In a New York dive bar five years after 9/11, a young couple find themselves face to face with a mysterious stranger who turns what seems like harmless conspiracy theories into a continuous stream of surprising and dangerous revelations in this eye-opening look at the events that forever changed our country.
The Lady With All the Answers
by David Rambo
Bullitt Cabaret
September 10 - November 7
David Rambo's play invites audiences to spend an evening of home truths and delicious dish with renowned advice columnist Ann Landers, as she shares some of her favorite letters and memories while struggling to write the toughest column of her life. An irresistible portrait of the woman who used charm, chutzpah, and "one hell of a Rolodex" to become America's Therapist - and Best Friend Forever!
The Lieutenant of Inishmore
by Martin McDonagh
Falls Theatre
October 15 - November 14
A gleefully gruesome comedy from the Oscar-winning author of In Bruges, about a merciless Irish terrorist and his obsessive love for the thing that matters most to him: his precious black cat, Wee Thomas. Turn off your political correctness meter and wallow in this outrageous, blood-drenched farce. You won't believe your eyes!
