WHITE RABBIT RED RABBIT
A Play by Nassim Soleimanpour
where even the actors don’t know what to expect.
​June 8, 9, 14, 15.
At each performance of WHITE RABBIT RED RABBIT, a solitary actor walks out onto an empty stage and opens a sealed envelope. It contains a script they’ve never read of a play they have never seen.  And now they have to perform it for an audience that is ready for anything.
 
 “PLAYFUL, ENIGMATIC AND HAUNTING”
WHITE RABBIT RED RABBIT is the international sensation by Nassim Soleimanpour.  Confined to Iran for refusing compulsory military service, the playwright has communicated to the outside world though this message-in-a-bottle play that has been performed at theaters large and small around the globe.  It has been described by The New York Times as a “playful, enigmatic and haunting show.”

See the show performed by Gary Glor, CK Allen, Kevin Sebastian, OR in Spanish by Sandra Toll (June 15).

​EXIT PURSUED BY A BEAR
by Lauren Gunderson
America’s most frequently performed living playwright
June 21-30
In this smart, dark revenge comedy, Nan Carter wants to leave her abusive husband Kyle—leave him tied up in a hunting cabin, covered with honey, and ready for bear. 
But as long as SHE (Brianna Kalisch) has HIM (Scott Cagney) duct-taped to his easy chair, why not do a little consciousness-raising? With the help of her gay friend Simon (Jason Gillis) who acts as her emotional -- and literal – cheerleader, and a stripper named Sweetheart (Alex Andrews), Nan makes her husband watch hilariously twisted re-enactments of scenes from their dysfunctional marriage.
​Lauren Gunderson’s smart, funny plays about empowered women – real and imagined – have made her one of America’s most popular playwrights. Many of her biographical plays explore the lives of women who found ways to thrive in male dominated professions, yet her work never feels like dry history. “Gunderson’s deep insight, empathy and gift for ironic dialogue make her the Jane Austen of the modern stage,” says director Mark Spina.
