THE GLASS MENAGERIE
By Tennessee Williams
Directed by Steven Marzolf
Viewed through a veil of memory and regret, the Wingfield family struggles to negotiate the past, the future and each other in depression-era St. Louis. Both dreamlike and shatteringly real, Tennessee William's iconic American classic examines a family on the edge of the abyss.

DANCING LESSONS
By Mark St. Germain
Directed by Ron Clark
A professional dancer with a career-ending injury is thrown for a loop when a geoscientist with Asperger's syndrome offers her an absurd sum to teach him how to dance. This funny, unsentimental and honest romance takes a hard look at what constitutes "normal."
