n the night, a man and wife bury an unnervingly odd collection of objects in the earth of their back yard.  Into the hole go a broken pot, a copper casting of a baby’s foot, tarnished cups, crumbling figurines, worn trinkets of various kinds—and a rusty revolver.  All are meant to be forgotten forever.  Buried with each item are the memories of fear and doubt and unrelenting strife it foreshadowed: a baby lost before it was found; a despondent young girl from across the sea who never returned home; a marriage threatened; the personal integrity of the man and his wife brought into question by friends and strangers alike.

Genius, guilt, and love tear through two generations in Richard Greenberg’s Pulitzer nominated drama. While trying to reconcile their father’s legacy, Walker, his sister Nan, and their childhood friend Pip end up rehashing their past. In the abandoned New York city loft their parents once shared, they sift through their late father’s laconic journal for explanations. When the action of the play returns to the same New York city loft thirty years in the past, the same actors live out those days whose legacy is resolved, but only whose explanation is “three days of rain.”

“What are you doing out of your grave?
What happened to the Gentleman?
What happened to his wife?
Whose blood is on your sleeve?”

London. Plague year.

On the last day of their quarantine, a wealthy couple’s house is invaded by two strangers - a sailor and a girl who might not be what she seems. And so another month of quarantine begins. Watched over by their jailor, these four with nothing in common must find a way to survive both the plague and each other. Alliances and betrayal, bargains and games.

This searing and lyrical drama explores the politics of compassion within the shadow of the grave.

Winner of the 1996 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize,
the 1996 Fellowship of Southern Writers Drama Award,
the 1996 Kesselring Prize, and the 1997 Obie Award for Best Play.

Whatever became of Tamara Tomorrow? In the early seventies, this local television host, in her antennae and space suit, made cheery predictions of how exciting the future was going to be. Her sudden disappearance from the public eye was one of the great mysteries of the Philadelphia area. Three fans of Tamara, all grown up and disenchanted with the “future” as she predicted, decide to go in search of this “Delaware Valley Greta Garbo.” What they find along the way teaches them more about themselves than they really thought they could know.

“Romeo, Romeo… Who needs a Romeo?” Flat Earth ponders this and other deep subjects in their production of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged).

Come marvel as three thespians condense the entirety of The Bard’s works into a single evening. Cheer as the Tudor monarchs play football for the crown, salivate while Titus Andronicus hosts a cooking show, and sob as you finally discover why Hamlet is so emo. Originally produced in 1987, The Complete Works was among the first plays to attempt this momentous feat.

$15 general admission, $10 for students and seniors
