An Evening of Three One-Acts
Touching Aurora
by
Stacey Isom, Directed by Jay Breckenridge
"Touching Aurora" is about a strong-willed woman in Alaska (transported
long ago from Tennessee) who faces amputation of her leg or death from the
gangrene spreading in it. There is a dark humor and intersecting imagery
(including the Aurora Borealis) as her husband and daughter try to talk her
into the surgery in spite of her fear about hospitals.
Tennessee
by Romulus Linney, Directed by Carol Schafer
set in the mountains of North Carolina in 1870, this evocative Obie-award
winning play deals with a frontier family who work long hours to wrest a
living from the small farm they bought form the county. A woman carrying
a cowbell and broken bit of mirror appears unexpectedly. Years before, to
ward off suitors, the woman declared that she would only marry a man who
would take her to Tennessee. Now she realizes that the new farm which they
carved from the wilderness was not in Tennessee at all.
The Ugly Duckling
by A.A. Milne, Directed by Edward P. Carey
In "The Ugly Duckling" the King and Queen are disappointed because
their daughter is very plain looking, but beautiful inside. To fool the prince,
who she is engaged to, they introduce him to a beautiful maid. The prince has
the same problem and substitutes one of his men for himself. AT the wedding,
the plan is that the veils will be lifted after the ceremony. Join us to find
out together how their plans develop.

The Dining Room
by by A.R. Gurney, Directed by Donna Winter
The setting is the dining room
of a typical well-to-do household, the place where the family assembled
daily for breakfast and dinner and for any and all special occasions. The
action is comprised of a mosaic of interrelated scenes-some funny, some
touching, some rueful- which, taken together, create an in-depth portrait
of a vanishing species: the upper-middle-class WASP. Each vignette introduces
a new set of people and events, a father lectures his son on grammar and
politics; a boy returns form boarding school to discover his mother's infidelity,;
a grandmother doesn't remember he own sons at Christmas dinner, a daughter,
her marriage in shambles, pleads futilely to return home, etc. Dove-tailing
swiftly and smoothly, the varied scenes coalesce, ultimately, into a theatrical
experience of exceptional range, compassionate humor and abundant humanity.
