Eurydice

When Eurydice goes missing on her wedding day, her groom, Orpheus, pursues her relentlessly- past life as we know it into the depths of the underworld. Sarah Ruhl's stunning play about love, loss, and the importance of memory.

Nickel and Dimed

adapted by Joan Holden, based on the prize winning investigative work of Barbara Ehrenriech

April 7-16, 2011

At a time when we are all focused on finding an economic survival strategy, the play explores what it means to eke out a living on minimum wage. Written with courage and a deep sense of empathy for the working poor- it is both hysterically funny and poignantly eye-popping.
