SEASON 8 / OCT 2008 - JUNE 2009
FOOL FOR LOVE / OCT 4 - 26
By Sam Shepard
Directed By Dana Case
Vicious, erotic and funny, Fool for Love won the Obie award for Best Play and was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize. Feuding lovers Eddie and May battle obsession, jealousy, private myth, a
fractured past and each other in one night of hand-to-hand,
heart-to-heart combat. In a stark motel room on the desert's edge, their showdown blows away convention and compromise to lay bare the primal drive that makes them - and all of us - fools for love.
For Mature Audiences.

BULRUSHER / FEB 7 - MAR 1
By Eisa Davis
Directed By Kristianne Kurner
A finalist for the 2007 Pulitzer Prize for Drama , this poetic, evocative play is set at the dawn of the Civil Rights movement. In a small town in California, a young African-American woman voyages toward self-discovery with the help of a stranger from Alabama. Set in the isolated town of Boonville in the Redwood country north of San Francisco, Bulrusher tests our assumptions about race, sexuality and love.BE AGGRESSIVE / APR 4 - 26
By Annie Weisman
Directed By Kristianne Kurner
A hilarious, all-too-true look at contemporary adolescence, Be Aggressive tells the story of a high school cheerleader from San Diego searching for meaning in her life. A satirical look at the suburban dream found and lost, this play follows Laura and her best friend Leslie as they journey across the country in search of themselves and the perfect standing back tuck, while their parents try to come to terms with the real challenges of life in sunny Southern California.FOUR DOGS AND A BONE / JUNE 6 - 28
By John Patrick Shanley
Directed By Joshua Everett Johnson
A naive writer, a desperate producer, an embittered actress and a scheming starlet take centre stage as they fight tooth and nail for control of a troubled film production. Sex, greed and egotism abound as the four attempt to save their careers and avoid ending up in a straight-to-video 'art house dog.'
For Mature Audiences.
