“You, The Jury” by Anne Coulter Martens
Directed by Lars Sage
This jury play has unusual audience appeal in that members of the audience are summoned as jurors and their verdict actually does determine the outcome of the trial. Bill, a college student holding a number of part-time jobs, is accused by one of his employers of the theft of an unsealed envelope containing three $100 bills. He doesn't deny that he had access to the money. The witnesses called to testify for Bill are contradictory. It is a fine play with illuminating overtones on law and circumstantial evidence.
“The Zoo Story (New Version)” by Edward Albee****
Directed by Jen Bass
A park bench. A sunny afternoon. And then—a stranger.
In Edward Albee’s The Zoo Story, a quiet, orderly man’s peaceful moment is interrupted by an uninvited visitor with a story to tell. What begins as small talk soon spirals into a gripping, unpredictable encounter—one that grows darker, funnier, and more disturbing with every word. As secrets are unearthed and boundaries pushed, the line between the civilized and the savage begins to blur.
Why did Jerry go to the zoo?
The answer may change everything.
