{about } This raucous comedy smashes together Chekhov’s classic themes of loss and longing with Disney’s Snow White and a prophetic housekeeper. Sonia and Vanya have frittered their lives away in the family farmhouse. Enter their sister, self-absorbed movie star Masha with her 20-something boy toy Spike, and the stage is set for a weekend of hilarity. Recommended for ages 14 and up.
{notes } You don’t need to be familiar with the plays of Anton Chekhov to enjoy this com-edy, which according to playwright Chris-topher Durang takes “Chekhov scenes and characters and put(s) them into a blender.”
The original Broadway cast included Sigourney Weaver, David Hyde Pierce, Kristine Nielsen, and Billy Magnussen.
In addition to the Tony Award, Van-ya... earned the New York Drama Critics’ Circle, Drama League, and Drama Desk awards, all for best play of the season.
The character of Vanya has one of the best rants about modern life you will ever witness.

{about } The past threatens to pull apart brother and sister. Bernice treasures a one-of-a-kind piano, an heirloom with carved figures of their enslaved ancestors. Boy Willie suddenly arrives from the South determined to sell the piano and buy the land his family worked on. When the ghost of the piano’s original owner appears, family conflicts escalate to a dramatic confrontation. With lyrical language rolling from the rowdy to the tender, this is one of Wilson’s finest. Recommended for ages 12 and up.
{notes } The setting is 1936 Pittsburgh in the af-termath of the Great Depression.
The Piano lesson is the fourth play in Wil-son’s century cycle, which includes 10 plays–one for each decade of the 20th century.
Wilson was inspired by artist romare Bearden’s The Piano lesson, featuring a strong female figure.
The first production, in 1987 at the Eugene o’Neill Theater Center, featured Samuel L. Jackson in the role of Boy Willie.

{about } It’s the 1880s and electricity is all the rage. In a quiet home office, a doc-tor experiments with a new instrument for treating “hysteria.” The device? A vibrator. In this genuinely touching, original, and wickedly funny play, Sarah ruhl (The clean house) explores relationships and sexual fulfillment while managing to stay discreetly beneath the crisp white sheets of Victorian propriety. Recommended for ages 14 and up.
{notes } Actual medical treatments, as described in The Technology of orgasm by rachel P. Maines, inspired Sarah ruhl in writing this play.
“Things that seem impossibly strange in the play are all true—such as the Chat-tanooga Vibrator—and the vagaries of wet nursing,” said the playwright.
As with her play The clean house, in the next Room takes an insightful look at mar-riage, intimacy, and loving relationships.
Sarah ruhl is a contemporary Ameri-can playwright, the recipient of a MacAr-thur Fellowship.

{notes } The title refers to a sign on Interstate 10 in California, which indicates that the freeway is headed towards Indio, CA and “other Desert Cities.”
The original title was love and Mercy.
