OPENING THURSDAY: THE NIGHT ALIVE BY CONOR MCPHERSON, DIRECTED BY KAY BOHANNON HOLLEY
featuring Gary Ambler, Lindsey Gates-Markel, Jim Kotowski, David Butler, and Mathew Green
Tommy (Gary Ambler) isn't a bad man; he's getting by. Renting a run-down room in his Uncle Maurice (David Butler)'s house, just about keeping his ex-wife and kids at arm's length, and rolling from one get-rich-quick scheme to the other with his pal Doc (Jim Kotowski). Then one day he comes to the aid of Aimee (Lindsey Gates-Markel), who's not had it easy herself, struggling through life the only way she knows how. Their past won't let go easily, but together there's a glimmer of hope that they could make something more of their lives. Something extraordinary. Perhaps.
With inimitable warmth, style and craft, Conor McPherson's The Night Alive deftly mines the humanity to be found in the most unlikely of situations.
Winner of the 2013-2014 New York Drama Critics' Circle Award for Best Play.
The Night Alive will be performed from Thursday, October 6 through Saturday, October 22, 2016. All shows start at 8:00 p.m. Admission is $10 on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays and $15 on Fridays and Saturdays.

THE BIRDS
BY CONOR MCPHERSON
DIRECTED BY THOM SCHNARRE NOVEMBER 3-19, 2016
Diane: Carolyn Kodes
Nat: Jeremiah J. Lowry

Conor McPherson boldly adapts for the stage the Daphne du Maurier short story that inspired Alfred Hitchcock's classic horror film-a gripping, unsettling, and moving look at human relationships in the face of societal collapse.
