A Moon for the Misbegotten
by Eugene O'Neill
June 26-July 13

A Moon for the Misbegotten is a classic love story about two lost souls, James and Josie, and their chance encounter over the course of a moonlit night. Their only possibility for love and forgiveness lies in the other, and they spend the night struggling to find hope, happiness and ultimately the redemption of love. Eugene O’Neill’s last play is a warm, wise and infectious blend of comedy, tragedy, autobiography and imagination.

True West
by Sam Shepard
July 17 - August 3

A searing, dark comedy, True West tells the story of Austin, a straight-laced aspiring screenwriter on the verge of getting his break, and his brother Lee, a beer-guzzling drifter and thief. When they meet at their absent mother’s house they clash over a script Austin has sold to a producer. As the story unfolds, the line between the brothers blurs, tensions rise and sibling rivalry is displayed at its finest.

A finalist for the 2004 Pulitzer Prize, The Clean House is a quirky and unexpectedly moving comedy about love, loss and the power of a good joke.
