George Orwells’s
Animal Farm, A Fable in Two Acts
Adapted by Nelson Bond
Directed by Neilson R. Jones


A fable with a sting. Much has been written about the threat of Communism, but the late George
Orwell exposed the Russian experiment for what it really is; an idealist’s dream, converted by
realists into a nightmare.  Opening on a note of joyous triumph for the creatures who have
emancipated themselves from the cruel mastery of a human owner.  This dramatic reading
adaptation of the novel mounts inexorably to a climax of disillusionment in which the other
animals discover themselves now subject to the rule of even more ruthless autocrats: the
greedy, cunning pigs.

Walter Cronkite is Dead.
a comedy by Joe Calarco
directed by Neilson R. Jones

Forced together for a long night in a public place, two strangers, Margaret and Patty share a bottle of wine and begin to talk…and to listen. Yes, Walter Cronkite is dead, but we still have Google.  This insightful comedy looks at where we are today and from where we came.  What have we gained?  What have we lost?  What might be possible if people from opposite sides of the aisle would stop shouting long enough to listen..?  Each of us has something to learn from Walter Cronkite!

The Tragedy of Othello, the Moor of Venice
written by William Shakespeare
directed by Linda Shirey


Othello, a celebrated general and also an outsider, shares a boundless love with Desdemona, a Venetian aristocrat. Defying her family and social convention, they elope. Iago, a military ensign who nurses a vengeful hate for his commander, plants seeds of envy that lead to catastrophe for the newlyweds. Filled with deception, suspicion, revenge, passion, lust, and murder, this is one of Shakespeare’s best tragedies!
