Beautifully poetic and deeply astute, Garry Williams' Rain brings us into Midwestern farm life as Staff, recently paralyzed, returns home in the midst of the biggest drought anyone has seen in over 30 years. With nowhere to hide and seemingly nothing to do but wait, Staff and his family struggle to maintain the fragile state of their lives as they are forced to confront their isolation, faith, fears and the truths that lie underneath.
George Spelvin is brought in to replace the lead actor in a mysterious play. The problem is he doesn't know any of the lines, has never been to a rehearsal, and the play changes every time a new actor comes on stage. In this absurd comedy by Christopher Durang, the nightmare seems to be a bit too real leaving George wondering whether or not he really is awake.

Winner of the 1979 Pulitzer Prize, Buried Child sealed Sam Shepard's reputation as an iconic post-modern playwright. A sinister secret buried deep in the recesses of the past threatens to resurface and destroy an already deeply damaged family. When Vince brings his girlfriend home to meet his family, things don't go quite as he envisioned. For one thing: why doesn't anyone know him? This darkly comic masterpiece reminds us that there really is no place like home.

Award winning Cuban American playwright Maria Irenes Fornes' play tells the story of a gathering of women at Fefu's East Coast summer house, where they make plans to solve the social ills of the day. During the course of this "femme fest", we enter into the most intimate areas of both the house and these female psyches, and discover the fears and yearnings of women grappling with a world they don't control. Set in the 1930's, Fefu is often described as a seminal piece of 2nd Wave Feminism, but is in fact much more: Fornes' depiction of this playful and serious, sexy and crazy secret world of women calls into question how epistemologies are created, and how they might be changed. Continuing our focus on student creative achievement, we're thrilled to announce that Fefu will feature the work of student designers.
