"THE RUNNER STUMBLES by Milan Stitt

APRIL 11 - MAY 4, 2008

A young nun has died under mysterious circumstances in a remote parish in northern Michigan, and her superior, Father Rivard, has been charged with her murder.  What led to the murder?  Was anything “improper” going on in this small up-country parish?  The true nature of God and love are at the heart of this searing drama.


FACING EAST by Carol Lynn Pearson - WEST COAST PREMIERE

JULY 11 - AUGUST 3, 2008

Ruth and Alex McCormick are an upstanding Mormon couple reeling from the suicide of their gay son. They’re stuck between the comfort of their faith and the unfamiliarity of their new reality when they meet their son’s partner, Marcus, for the first time. The Salt lake Tribune said, “Facing East is a tightly-wound domestic tragedy that dares to ask important questions about faith, death and survival.”

NOVEMBER 1 – 23, 2008
"The Mystery Plays"
By Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa
This provocative drama follows its characters through two related stories involving a train wreck, a ghost and a family murder. Like the original medieval mystery plays, Aguirre-Sacasa’s play wrestles with the most profound of human ideas: the mysteries of death, the afterlife, religion, faith, and forgiveness—in a uniquely American way. The New York Times called it, “stylish and spine-tingling…and irresistible.
