In the Next Room
(Or The Vibrator Play) A comedy written by Sarah Ruhl
February12–March 6, Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00pm, Sundays at 2:00pm A touching and hilarious story about a young doctor and his wife in the Victorian age. Dr. Givings is obsessed with the marvels of technology and what they can do for his patients. He isn’t sure exactly how the vibrators help the women he treats—but they keep coming back. The only woman who isn’t helped is his own wife, who longs to connect with him— but not electronically. Suggested for ages 16+.
The Letters A drama written by John W. Lowell April 8–May 1 A Ministry Director calls Anna, a bureaucrat, into his office for a meeting. It is 1931 in the Soviet Union and things aren’t what they seem. The interview becomes a suspenseful game of cat and mouse in which being the last to flinch may mean the difference between life and death. Based on Soviet efforts to edit composer Tchaikovsky’s letters, this taut thriller is a vivid slice of paranoid life under Stalin.
