Two shows available:
Two Jews Walk into a War...
by Seth Rozin
REGIONAL PREMIERE!
3/17/2011 - 4/10/2011
Hysterically funny and amazingly poignant. Inspired by the true story of the last two surviving Jews in all of Afghanistan, the only thing seeming to bind this small Jewish community together is that they both hate each other’s guts. In a dilapidated old synagogue in Kabul, this odd couple’s bold solution for rebuilding their community not only brings them closer to the essence of their faith but, quite possibly, each other. (Contains Suggestive Dialogue; Estimated Run Time: 1 hours, 25 minutes with no intermission)
A Picasso
by Jeffrey Hatcher
REGIONAL PREMIERE!
4/21/2011 - 5/15/2011
This cat-and-mouse game is full of sly humor, sexual tension and suspense. In an underground vault in war-torn Paris, a more singular conflict takes place between an enigmatic female officer from the Ministry of Culture and the world famous painter, Pablo Picasso. With his work and possibly his life at stake, Picasso’s negotiations are marked by mutual manipulation, unexpected revelations and a surprising final intrigue. (Contains Adult Language and Suggestive Dialogue; Estimated Run Time: 1 hours, 25 minutes with no intermission)
