2013 SEASON TICKETS
After
losing a congressional race in Tucson, AZ
during the 2008 general election Republican
candidate John Chronus retools his campaign
for a senate seat during the 2010 midterms.
As he struggles in a tight primary, Chronus
and his team begin to court an increasingly
powerful demographic, the Tea Party. Fisher's
play takes aim at the state of politics
between liberal and conservative factions
sparing no one in this taut drama.
PERFORMANCE DATES: February 15, 16, 22, 23, March 1, 2 at 8pm; February 24 and March 3 at 2pm.

See the human cost of discrimination.
Uncover the arguments used to justify bans
on marriage for gay and lesbian couples.
Using the actual court transcripts from the
landmark federal trial of California's Prop.
8 and first-hand interviews, "8" shows both
sides of the debate in a moving 90-minute
play.
PERFORMANCE DATES: April 5 and 6 at 8pm; 7 at 2pm.
Forced
to choose between her identity, her family,
and her precious faith, there's no word to
describe Hanna Jokhoe in her native Guyanese
dialect. A one woman tour-de-force
production about a gay Muslim immigrant who
must reconcile her faith with her sexuality.
Graf's poetic and lyrical play explores
religious and sexual identity, parental
bonds, and clashing cultures.

MY NAME IS MUDD
Written by J.R. Teeter
Dr.
Samuel Mudd is a respected doctor and slave
owner until his friend, John Wilkes Booth
showed up with a broken leg. Little did the
doctor know that Booth hours earlier
assassinated President Abraham Lincoln.
Tried and found guilty as part of the
conspiracy, Mudd is locked away in an island
prison. Will he survive the torments of his
incarceration or will he die with the iron
of his manacles cutting ever deeper into his
flesh entering his very soul.
PERFORMANCE DATES: June 14, 15, 21, 22, 28, 29 at 8pm; 16 and 23 at 2pm.
Is
autism a disability or a difference?
This simple but profound question is at
the center of a new play by Ken
LaZebnik. A young man with Asperger's,
passing as "typical" after years of
mainstreaming and therapy, connects with
a woman who proudly champions her autism
as a difference, not a disorder. This
love story between an "aspie" and an
"autie" reveals the contradictions
between finding success as yourself and
on the world's terms, and the conflict
between the desire for acceptance and
the desire for achievement.
PERFORMANCE DATES: October 4, 5, 11, 12, 18, 19 at 8pm; 13 and 20 at 2pm.

THE FAT BOY
Written by Tony Ayres
Trevor's
just a lonely boy looking for love. But
love has made a detour around him. Is it
because he's fat, gay and squeals like a
girl? Or because his mother's a vulgar,
sex-obsessed psychic? Whatever the
reason, everything he touches falls to
bits: relationships crumble, lives are
lost and warts sprout in the most
unseemly places. Gleefully raiding the
tempo and color of pop culture, this is
a hilarious domestic horror story about
love, desire and other monstrous
appetites that will worm its scandalous
way into your heart.
PERFORMANCE DATES: April 12, 13, 19 and 20 at 8pm; April 14 and 21 at 2pm.
