With help from an intriguingly innovative technology in a future not far from our present, 85-year-old Marjorie examines her past, sometimes replacing her realities with idealized memories. Jordan Harrison’s thoughtful, spare, subtly shattering work, a 2015 Pulitzer finalist, explores the ways our humanity is shaped and warped by the mysterious ebbs and flows of memory. What would we remember, and what would we forget, given the power of authorship?</span><br></div></b></div><div><br></div><div><b><div><img src="cid:ii_jkiz3jno1_16511cf10c59cf89" width="207" height="207" style="margin-right: 0px;"><br></div>Feb.15-17, 2019:</b> Directed by Jacqueline Donnaruma, our second play is <b><i>Circle Mirror Transformation</i></b> by Annie Baker, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 2014. In an artsy small town, an unlikely collection of strangers decides to sign up for Marty's "Adult Creative Drama" class. As their relationships develop over the course of the summer, the awkward, seemingly silly theater games they play generate real-life drama. “By the play’s end we seem to see to the very bottom of these souls, and feel how the artificial intimacy of the acting class has shaped their lives in substantial ways.” — New York Times</div><div><br></div><div><b><div><img src="cid:ii_jkiz3uvk2_16511cf4a879f188" width="207" height="207" style="margin-right: 0px;"><br></div>April 12-14, 2019:</b> Our third play, <b><i>The Subject Was Roses</i></b> by Frank D. Gilroy, directed by Brian Sheldon, is a Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning drama that tells the story of Timmy Cleary, a young, idealistic soldier who returns from World War II to his parents’ New York apartment to find their marriage in shambles. Reminiscing, the family attempts to recapture the past and return to a life that never really was. Timmy discovers that he's left the battlefields of Europe only to become a prisoner of his parents' war of regret and recrimination.</div><div><br></div><div><b><div><img src="cid:ii_jkiz4ao93_16511cf9a14a7a34" width="207" height="207" style="margin-right: 0px;"><br></div>May 17-19, 2019:</b> The season will close out with <b><i>Chapatti </i></b>by Christian O’Reilly, directed by Patricia Bunce. Romance is a distant memory for two lonely animal lovers living in Dublin. When forlorn Dan and his dog Chapatti cross paths with the amiable Betty and her nineteen cats, an unexpected spark sets in motion the journey of two people tenuously rediscovering the importance of human companionship. The play’s deft mix of heartache, despair and tender comedy leaves one cheering for these two characters’ hard-won moment of happiness.</div><div><br></div><div><font size="1"><b>Theater Voices is...</b> a company of dedicated actors and directors who present both new and classic works with the specific goal of emphasizing the richness of the playwright's language.
