It's Alive!!!


Our Website that is.

Thanks to Ernest we now know what Dr. Frankenstein felt like. Hopefully our little website will grow up without the maiming or the villagers following with pitchforks.

Unless they're ticket-buying villagers with pitchforks, in which case - Welcome!

Our 2008 Season

We're quite excited about this year we have a show in April...wait...May? and our September show BUNBURY: A Serious Play for Trivial People by Tom Jacobsen which will be directed by our own Artistic Director John Edward O'Brien.

What's "Bunbury" about? After discovering that he is only a fictitious character in THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST, Bunbury joins forces with Rosaline, Romeo’s never-seen obsession from ROMEO AND JULIET. Together, they use their anonymity to infiltrate and alter classic literature, starting by accidentally giving ROMEO AND JULIET a happy ending. The resulting transformation of such classics as THE THREE SISTERS, A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE, WAITING FOR GODOT, and even Edgar Allan Poe’s THE RAVEN spawns a new sub-discipline in literary criticism and may even change the world. A comedy that proves everyone's life means something--even if they don't exist!

Both shows will be at the Piano Factory in Boston's Historic South End.
