“Time Stands Still” examines the lives of one couple who are journalists and make a living out of documenting the horrors of war. Theirs is a partnership based on telling the toughest stories, and together, making a difference. Is it possible for two people who are used to living in dangerous conditions to carve out a normal life? Can they stay together amidst unspoken betrayals and conflicting ideals? Playwright Donald Margulies answers these questions while leaving unanswered questions regarding the way America deals with war, tragedy, and media coverage.

On the streets of Little Havana, Manolo and his friends enjoy playing baseball rain or shine. But when the ball goes over the fence to Señora Arniella's yard, the boys are too afraid to go and ask for it back. She is mean, eats little kids, and has 20 cats! When Abuelo Enrique tells them the story of El Tiburón, they learn that we shouldn't always judge someone based on what others have said.

“The Shape of Things” by Neil LaBute

Feb. 26-28, March 5-7, 2021

Set in a small university town in the Midwest, “The Shape of Things” centers on the lives of four students who become emotionally and romantically involved with each other. In this modern version of Adam’s seduction by Eve, “The Shape of Things” pits gentle, awkward, overweight Adam against experienced, analytical, amoral Evelyn, a graduate student in art. “The Shape of Things” examines how we treat each other as human beings and how we deceive and wound each other in our attempt to secure love.

Socialite and novelist Charles Condomine invites the eccentric medium and clairvoyant Madame Arcati to his house to conduct a séance, hoping to gather material for his next book. The scheme backfires when he is haunted by the ghost of his annoying and temperamental first wife, Elvira, who continually tries to disrupt Charles’ marriage to his second wife, Ruth, who cannot see or hear the ghost.
