Playshop Theatre

By Paula Vogel
Music by Daryl Walters

November 17-20, 2016
Thursday-Saturday 8:00 p.m.
Sunday at 2:30 p.m.

It is Christmas Eve in 1864 along the icy, war-ravaged Potomac near Washington, D.C.  Union and Confederate troops are hunkered down by the river, Abraham Lincoln strategizes for peace while his wife Mary visits the wounded, and former slaves are migrating north in search of freedom.  Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Paula Vogel weaves a rich tapestry of stories, both historical and fictional, into a drama that intertwines holiday carols, marches and spirituals of the Civil War period.  An epic theatrical event that captures a nation in desperate need of hope and healing.

Venue: Gladys Mullenix Black Theatre

By David Ives, adapted from The Misanthrope by Molière
Directed by Mark Cosdon
An agonizingly funny comedy of sex, love, hypocrisy and trash talkin’. Misbehaving gossipers run amok in a world of glamor and scandal, clandestine love affairs, and slapstick antics. Performed in very contemporary couplets, David Ives’ farce is the perfect spring truffle. The theatre’s box office webpage has additional information on ticket prices.
