Sept 4 – Oct 7
Can we ever protect ourselves from the idiocy of our hearts?
Down a well-worn path, hand-in-hand, take a walk…through leaves and over bridges, breathe in the soul’s seductive moments of mythological small-town America. It’s 1962 New England when we join Tom, our ‘Homo Eros’ tour guide, for a stroll with a host of hearts just like our own. Along the circuitous course of Love we travel with our new friends hoping to catch a genuine glimpse of humankind’s most elusive sentiment in the wonderfully flawed characters muddling along before us. This quirky love letter to the human race flows from Vonnegut’s first collection Welcome to the Monkey House.
World Premiere
Guitars by August Wilson
Oct 9 – Nov 11
Is where you are ever where you hoped you’d be?
The rhythm of 1948 Pittsburgh comes to life with August Wilson’s seven African American characters whose backyard chords and Chicago dreams play out a yearning whisper and an indignant refrain. Buried romance, resentments and aspirations are unearthed in these everyday lives much like epic lyrics to a moving song. The rooster crows for justice, the musicians weave like boxers as hope, pride and desperation partner to waltz away the American Dream. Seven Guitars is the sixth play in August Wilson’s set of 10 plays exploring the African-American experience in the 20th Century. Part of the Red Door Project’s August Wilson Festival.

Will Sherlock Holmes crack his own case?
Our favorite quirky, Scrooge-infused inquisitor and his host of supernatural visitors returns this holiday season with the hit holiday show crafted by Seattle veteran playwright John Longenbaugh. In this caper through time, Dr. Watson rallies to cheer Holmes into celebrating the holiday season but the unrepentant, ill-tempered detective resists until he is forced to deduce the facts and solve the most important mystery of his own life – past, present and future.
