One of Shakespeare's most brilliant comedies of mistaken identity. Viola, masquerading as a young man named Cesario,
 loves Orsino. Orsino, in turn, is in love with Olivia, who is in love with Viola, who she thinks is Cesario. Everyone has fooled Malvolio into thinking Olivia loves him, and, in the meantime, Viola's twin brother, Sebastian, arrives, to throw things into further disarray.

How far would you go for love? For art? What concessions would you make? What price would you be willing to pay? A modern day retelling of the fall of man: after a chance meeting in a museum, Evelyn, a sexy, aggressive artist, and Adam, a shy, insecure student, become embroiled in an intense affair. Before long, it veers into the kind of dangerous, seductive territory that LaBute does best, as Adam, under Evelyn's steady influence, goes to unimaginable lengths to improve his
 appearance and character. Only in the final and shocking exhibition, which challenges our most deeply entrenched ideas about art and love, does Evelyn reveal her true intentions. 

"The Laramie Project" by Moises Kaufman and the Tectonic Theater Project
Directed by Adam Coons

Auditions - 11/5 & 11/6/12
Pay-What-You-Will Preview 2/7/13

In October 1998, twenty-one-year-old Matthew Shepard was kidnapped, severely beaten and left to die, tied to a fence in the middle of the prairie outside Laramie, Wyoming - a victim of this assault because he was gay. Moisés Kaufman and fellow members of the Tectonic Theater Project made six trips to Laramie over the course of a year and a half in the aftermath of the beating and during the trial of the two young men accused of killing Shepard and conducted more than 200 interviews with the people of the town. "The Laramie Project" is a
 breathtaking theatrical collage that explores the depths to which humanity can sink and the heights of compassion of which we are capable.

Pay-What-You-Will Preview 5/2/13

As Ronald Reagan enters the White House, five aging practitioners of the oldest profession are faced with a diminishing clientele, increased competition for their niche market, and aching joints. With wit, compassion, and humor, they struggle to find and learn new tricks as they fight to stay in the Life.
