Based on the novel The Playmaker by Thomas Keneally, this play tells
the true story of a group of British convicts and their guards, transported
to Australia in 1788. Faced with brutal conditions and shattered spirits,
one marine lieutenant embarks on the unlikely endeavor of producing a play.
His actors are the convicts. Few of them can read, let alone
act. As one critic wrote, the play is “a triumph…a tribute
to the transforming power of drama.” The play includes mature content.
Recommended for ages 13 and older with parental discretion advised.

The Ticking Clock is a theatrical project exploring the choices women make during their childbearing years—and, on occasion, the choices that are made for them. After interviewing women from a wide range of different backgrounds and experiences, Jody Gehrman will write a script made up primarily of monologues, and Rose Bell will direct the play’s debut.

Two identical twins and their two servants (also identical twins) are separated in a ship-wreck. When, years later, they all show up in the same town, mistaken identities abound. This rollicking comedic romp is one of Shakespeare’s most delightful and accessible plays. Appropriate for ages 8 and up. Not recommended for those who dislike hearty laughter.
