DRY POWDER

 

by Sarah Burgess

October 14 - November 20, 2021

 

"[A] lacerating dark comedy . . . Dry Powder feels extraordinarily timely. It's a play every oligarch should see." -Time Out New York

 

The same week his private equity firm forced massive layoffs at a national grocery chain, Rick Hannel threw himself an extravagant engagement party, setting off a publicity nightmare. Fortunately, Seth, one of Rick's partners, has a dream of a deal to invest in an American made luggage company for a song that will rescue his boss from the PR disaster. But Jenny, Rick's other partner, has an entirely different plan: to maximize returns, no matter the consequences. The game is on in this gripping, razor-sharp play about the price of success and the real cost of getting the deal done.

 

 

 

 

 

 

RUMORS

 

by Neil Simon

January 6 - February 12, 2022

 

In 1988, Neil Simon needed to cheer himself up. The solution was a farce in two acts, set in Palisades, that shows a dinner party gone topsy-turvy. An enjoyable romp that has been staged countless times all over the country, this is one of Simon's most celebrated comedies. But it carries a subtle undercurrent of sadness, which becomes more clear when we set it alongside the events of the playwright's life. At a large, tastefully-appointed Sneden's Landing townhouse, the Deputy Mayor of New York has just shot himself. Though only a flesh wound, four couples are about to experience a severe attack of Farce. Gathering for their tenth wedding anniversary, the host lies bleeding in the other room, and his wife is nowhere in sight. His lawyer, Ken, and wife, Chris, must get "the story" straight before the other guests arrive. As the confusions and miscommunications mount, the evening spins off into classic farcical hilarity.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

THE KREUTZER SONATA

 

by Nancy Harris

February 17 - March 19, 2022

 

When Marshal of the Nobility Pozdnyshev suspects his wife of having an affair with her music partner, his jealousy consumes him and drives him to murder. Controversial upon publication in 1890, The Kreutzer Sonata illuminates Tolstoy's then-feverish Christian ideals, his conflicts with lust and the hypocrisies of nineteenth-century marriage, and his thinking on the role of art and music in society.

The audience is invited to join Oso on an adventure as he struggles with La Bruja Quemada and finds silly new friends who teach him that strength of heart is the most powerful of all.

Jamie is back home from college and only wants to do one thing - take a hike with her little brother Dylan. Together they go on a seemingly normal hike that leads them to embark on a journey through the Sonoran Desert in ways that they have never experienced before. Along the way they meet an unlikely friend group of a packrat, diamondback rattlesnake, and roadrunner that try to help them find their way back home. On their journey to find a way back to their moms, Dylan and Jamie strengthen their bond as siblings and begin to understand what it truly means to call a place home.

FREMONT JUNIOR HIGH IS NOT DOING OKLAHOMA!

 

February 25 - March 12, 2022

by Paul Michael Thompson

 

Fourteen-year-old queer boy Chrysanthemum is the endearing know-it-all serving as president of the Drama Club Council and is based on no playwright in particular. His best friend is Vice President Phylicia, a coloratura soprano in every way. (If you've ever done musical theatre, you know what I'm talking about!!) They are best best friends, okay? They comment on each other's posts out of desire, not obligation. But when FJHS announces the spring musical will be Rodgers and Hammerstein's Oklahoma!, our protagonists rift. Shoot! Now one of them is the antagonist. But which one?!
