“THE SHOEMAKER" is more than a play. It is an emotionally riveting experience. It is a complex drama. It is a story that will stay with you for a very long time. Made into a film called "A Broken Sole" and described by Jeffrey Lyons (NBC/Reel Talk) as: "DEEPLY COMPELLING. A film that takes chances and comes up a WINNER. With a BRAVURA PERFORMANCE BY DANNY AIELLO." A shoemaker is frantic to close his shop early. A woman with a broken sole is desperate for him to keep the shop open. A pair of shoes on a shelf await the return of its owner, who will never return for them. The day is a unique day. The characters will never be the same. |

Monday, July 12th at 8pm MRS.
SORKEN By Christopher Durang Starring Marian Seldes ADAM AND
EVE ON A FERRY By Directed by Christopher Hart Starring Len Cariou and Penny Fuller “THE PRETTY TRAP” by Directed by Christopher Hart Starring Elaine Stritch, Tasha Lawrence, Michael Riedel and Jake Robards Amanda
Wingfield (the mother in The Glass Menagerie)
considered young girls to be a pretty trap and hence the title of
Williams’ precursor to his "Menagerie" masterpiece. "The Pretty Trap" was first
presented by Food For Thought, the sister company of Cause
Célèbre, and
was considered by Williams to be a comedy. Another winning
combination--theatre icon Elaine Stritch
playing one of the quintessential Williams characters. |

Tuesday,
July 13th at 7pm “THE PRETTY TRAP" by Directed by Christopher Hart Starring Frances Sternhagen, Tasha Lawrence, Jake
Robards and PJ Sosko “INTERIOR PANIC” by Directed by Christopher Hart Starring Johanna Day, Tasha
Lawrence, Jake Robards and Michael Citriniti Before
there was "A Streetcar Named Desire" there was "Interior
Panic." Written in 1945, this little gem by seems to be the
only real one-act version of Williams' full-length masterpiece. The
names in the one-act version have changed and so has the ending. In 1945 he
wrote to his agent, Audrey Wood, about the way in which he envisioned
the ending of "Streetcar." "There are at least three
possible ends. One, Blanche simply leaves, with no destination.
Two, she goes mad. Three, throws herself in front of a train in the
freight in the freight-yards." |
