a play by Terry Quinn

directed by Kira Simring

A faltering marriage compels a husband and wife to make a pact — to confess searing truths in the heat of passion.
The exposure leads to a confrontation with four of their friends, and even deeper revelations.

directed by Kathy Gail MacGowan

Anchor Women

a new play by Brian Rady

directed by Jeremy Bloom

A multimedia gesamtkunstwerk that shows the high definition foibles of our ladies in front of the camera.  A “Topgirls” for a new generation, the play brings together celebrity, luminary ladies in a real dreamscape – Oprah, Annie Liebovitz, transatlantic flights, and poetry.

present the U.S. premiere of

“Tosca e le altre due” (Tosca and The Two Downstairs),

a satirical, behind-the-scenes sister-story to Puccini’s “Tosca” as imagined by one of the wittiest and most admired Italian playwright and actresses, Franca Valeri. “Tosca e le altre due” shares the 19th century setting and events of the opera, but refracts them through two memorable women characters who share them from the outside.

The torture’s screams and scuffles are overheard from upstairs by the wife of the torturer (Iride played by Marta Mondelli) and the female doorkeeper of Palazzo Farnese (Emilia played by Laura Caparrotti) in Rome, where the interrogation is taking place. The play is a wry and humorous character study of these two women, outsiders, who are accidentally close to the passions and politics of the story.

The prologue will be acted in voice over by Rocco Sisto.

Set design is by Lucretia Moroni.

Music and Libretto by Susan Hurley

based on the original manuscript by Barbara Kraft

Directed by Kira Simring

Charlotte Kohn, soprano

Daniel Neer, baritone

Inspired by the life and writings of the noted diarist Anaïs Nin, this opera is a psychological drama of obsessive love during the last minutes of life. Anaïs attempts to come to terms with her impending death in the presence of her lover and long-time companion, Rupert Pole. In what amounts to a test of his devotion, she seeks his understanding but also clearly enjoys shocking him as she revisits and reveals some of the strongest memories of her life, her innumerable infidelities, incestuous relations and her violent rejection of motherhood. Rupert is unable to forgive Anaïs for these dark secrets before she struggles out of bed and then collapses, alone, to the floor.
