Playing Juliet/Casting Othello
October 31-31, November 1-2, 2008
Originally programmed for educational outreach to our hometown schools, we decided to place this modern treatment of Shakespearean themes on our main schedule for a standard weekend run as well. The play is designed to use two of Shakespeare's best known plays to bring the bard's work to an educational audience, but also to make some important points about race, perception, and human nature at the same time.

Lost in the Cosmos
The Last Self Help Seminar
November 6-9 2008
One of Greenville's own treasures finally comes home! This project is an unpublished adaptation of Greenvillian Walker Percy's satire on the self-help movement. Edmond Fuller wrote of the book. "Original and imaginative, it conveys a serious...message in a vein of high comedy." Playwright Tom Key has adroitly turned Percy's self-help book into a live-on-stage self help seminar as three perky, aggressive, EST-like ‘facilitators' run the gamut of self-help cliches and practices on a hapless audience member to great comic effect.

Meet Huck, Tom, Jim, Pap Finn, Becky Thatcher and all the other favorite characters from this Twain classic, set on our hometown river, the mighty Mississippi.

Flyin' West by Pearl Cleage

Flyin' West is based on the little known but historically significant migration of tens of thousands of African -Americans out of Southern Cities into the western territories in the late 1800's.

Crimes of the Heart
May 28-31, 2009
Mississippi's own Beth Henley took Broadway by storm and received the Pulitzer prize for this hilariously dark comedy featuring three sisters in Hazlehurst, Mississippi who seem to have a problem with their men. Meg just left one; Lenny never had one; and Babe just shot one! Henley has been compared to other ‘Southern Gothic" writers like Eudora Welty and Flannery O'Connor. This sly and compassionate portrait of sisters in the south will make you gasp, make you cry a little, but most of all it will make you laugh out loud!
