Crimes of the Heart by Beth Henley The three MaGrath sisters are back together in their hometown of Hazelhurst, Mississippi for the first time in a decade. Lenny, the eldest, never left Hazelhurst -- she is the caretaker of the sisters’ cantankerous Old Granddaddy. Meg, the middle sister, left home to pursue stardom as a singer in Los Angeles, but has, so far, only found happiness at the bottom of a bottle. And Babe, the youngest, has just been arrested for the murder of her abusive husband, Zackery Bottrelle. Under the scorching heat of the Mississippi sun, past resentments bubble to the surface and each sister must come to terms with the consequences of her own “crimes of the heart.” November 14 - 16 at 7:30pm and November 17 at 3:00pm Reflections: Annual Movement Concert Choreographed by Kelly Doremus Stuart An annual event produced by the New England College Theatre Department since 1994. Each Concert explores a different theme through movement and dance, music, text, poetry and images. These original productions have been described as creative, unique, humorous, heartfelt, off beat, and awesome! You don’t want to miss it! February 14 - 15 at 7:30pm February 16 at 3:00pm Eurydice by Sarah Ruhl Sarah Ruhl’s reimagining of the Orpheus myth focuses on its heroine. After dying too young on her wedding day, Eurydice must journey to the underworld where she is reunited with her father and struggles to remember her life up above. Filled with unique contemporary characters and stunning visual effects, this play is a fresh look at a timeless story of love and loss. “Rhapsodically beautiful. A weird and wonderful new play – an inexpressibly moving theatrical fable about love, loss and the pleasures and pains of memory.” – The New York Times April 2 - 4 at 7:30pm and April 5 at 3:00pm |
