Longstreet Theatre November 3 — 19, 2006 Directed by Beatrice Rancea An entertaining epic theatre romp that asks “Can the world be changed?” The Good Person of Setzuan, an oriental folk tale, is the story of an impoverished woman, Shen Te, who is chosen by the gods to receive money because she is the only good person in town. But she soon learns that it’s hard to lead a decent life with greedy family members and crooked neighbors at every turn. Full of paradox, empathy, ambivalence, feeling and uncertainty–is this a make-believe world or our own? Wonderful epic theatre and simply entertaining.

The Pillowman a new comedy-drama by Martin McDonagh Drayton Hall February 23 — March 4, 2007 Directed by Jim O’Connor The Pillowman is a thrilling and disturbing new drama-comedy of high energy and inventiveness. An unpublished writer concocts stories in which bad things happen to good children. He’s interrogated by the secret police because life has imitated art. A whodunit that takes on deeper meaning. "Wickedly funny and seriously disturbing." Adult language; graphic violence.
