Guess who's coming to dinner...
Things are stranger than ever at Dr. Seward's Asylum for the Insane. His beautiful young ward has fallen mysteriously ill. Her symptoms: anemia, lethargy, and -- love bites. Big ones. Could it have something to do with the suave Transylvanian count who came over for dinner?
Just in time for Halloween, Ted Tiller's comic retelling of the world's most famous vampire tale abounds with special effects, camp and dark theater magic.
Scapin
Adapted from Moliere by Bill Irwin & Mark O'Donnell
February 3–14, 2010
Studio Theatre
Directed by Holly Thuma, teaching artist in residence
Boy meets girl. Boy loses girl. Boy's clever servant weaves a tangled web of deceit and slapstick in order to put wrongs to right. Internationally renowned commedia dell'arte star Gale McNeely takes on the celebrated role of Scapin, one of the greatest heroes in comedy history. The crafty servant juggles a complex plot of four star-crossed lovers, two angry misers, and an endless supply of disguises. This fresh adaptation remains loyal to Moliere's masterpiece while providing plenty of contemporary winks for modern audiences.
Alice

Follow Alice as she plummets into a parallel universe where rabbits drink tea, cats spout philosophy, and the characters depicted on playing cards try to chop off your head. For nearly 150 years, Alice's surrreal adventures have amused and haunted audiences of all ages. Amid the offbeat, quirky musical stylings of Buddy Nutt, breath-taking puppets share the stage with live actors to bring this new circus-inspired vision of Wonderland to life.
