at Steamer No. 10 Theatre, 500 Western Avenue, Albany.

This witty political drama by one of America’s foremost men of  
letters was written in the early 1960’s, but its themes and  
characters are timeless. Here two candidates for President vie for  
their party’s nomination by trying to gain the all-important  
endorsement of the retiring Chief Executive. Meanwhile the stakes  
rise, and the political tactics intensify.

LATER LIFE by A.R. Gurney, directed by Ed. Lange
February 13-15, 2009

Lost opportunities and personal realization are only two of the  
themes of this comedy-drama, as two lovers who long ago drifted apart  
meet at a party, where they find one last chance at happiness. The  
numerous other guests are played by just two actors, as the evening  
alternates between hilarious confusion and touching revelation.

THE ROAD TO MECCA, by the distinguished South African playwright  
Athol Fugard, directed by Mark Dalton
April 3-5, 2009

The meaning of art and the poignancy of age are brought together in  
this drama, as an elderly Boer woman faces loss of freedom at the  
hands of a narrow-minded minister who despises the sculptures she  
creates.

IF WE ARE WOMEN, by award-winning Canadian playwright Joanna  
McClelland Glass, directed by Kristen Vanginhoven
May 15-17, 2009

Set in Connecticut, this bittersweet comedy dramatizes the dreams and  
memories of three older women in one family, who try to impart the  
meaning of their experiences to their youngest member.
