~ Confetti Stage invites you to a night at the Theatre of the Absurd ~

A ConfettIonesco Double Bill
Two Plays by Eugène Ionesco
THE CHAIRS, a tragic farce

Directed by Linda Shirey
Assistant director: Phoebe Baker
Featuring: Marty Egan, Stephen Henel, and Anna Kroup

Originally written in 1952, and subtitled by the author as “a tragic
farce”, The Chairs is an absurdist play of the first order by a master
innovator of the genre. The premise: an elderly couple spend their time
collecting and inventorying chairs only to be overcome by the very objects
that give their lives meaning.

THE LESSON, a comic drama
Directed by Neilson Jones
Featuring: Lucy Breyer, Vivian Hwang, and John Schnurr

Written in 1951, The Lesson illustrates Ionesco’s comic genius, where
insanity and farce collide as a professor becomes increasingly frustrated
with his hapless student, and the student with her mad teacher. This potent
"comic drama" has the power to frighten and delight as only Absurdist plays
can.

Only five chances to experience these shows!
