There are countless scripts we'd love to perform, but reality has its limits. Let's scratch the itch to be dramatic and explore scripts beyond our on-stage season with a theatrical book club, of sorts.

​

Greek Comedies, ​Absurdist Fiction, Elizabethan Classics... options are endless for a no-obligation monthly perusal. Let's first test the room and measure the interest. The inaugural title for play will be Dancing at Lughnasa by Brian Friel. Reserve your spot at the bottom of the page.

​

​THE STORY: "Paris. 1985. And the greatest investigative mind in the country is named Pinochet. No, not that Pinochet. Detective Marguerite Pinochet, and she's probably as good as she is because she's as likely to break the law as she is to uphold it. A self-described sexual miscreant, and a kleptomaniac when described by others, Pinochet is hired to crack the case of the murdered stock broker. With such a long list of enemies, will she be able to narrow it down. With the help of her novice side-kick Jean-Michel and her stewardess Madame Claude, justice may prevail. But only after we finish this bottle of '73 Salon. After all, would be a shame to waste it."
