Unquiet Theatre Company Presents :
Some Girl(s) by Neil LaBute
Directed by Katy Chmura

Your career as a writer is blossoming, your beautiful, young fiancée is waiting to get married and rush off to Cancún by your side—so what is your natural reaction? Well, if you're a man, it's probably to get nervous and start calling up old girlfriends. And so begins a single man's odyssey through four hotel rooms, as he flies across the country in search of the perfect woman (whom he's already broken up with). Some Girl(s) is the latest work from Neil LaBute, American theater's great agent provocateur. In grand LaBute fashion, this by turns outrageously funny and deadly serious portrait of the artist as a young seducer casts a truthful, hilarious light on a typical young Amrerican male as he wanders through the heart of darkness that is himself.

A la carte cash bar, soft drinks and concessions are sold before each performance. Outside food and drink is not permitted.

Tickets: $5 - $10
Performances: June 13, 14, 15, 20, 21, 22 (Fri & Sat at 8pm, Sun at 2pm)

Front and Center Productions Presents:
The Laramie Project
by Moises Kaufman
  
Laramie, Wyoming. Population 26,687. “The Gem City of the Plains”. The site of a tragic crime. On October 7, 1998, Matthew Shepard, a twenty-one-year old gay student at the University of Wyoming, was kidnapped, tied to a fence, and severely beaten where he was left to die. His bloody, bruised and battered body wasn’t discovered until the next morning, and he died a few days later. The Laramie Project is an award-winning play based on hundreds of interviews with friends, residents and others connected to the story. It is a breathtaking theatrical collage that explores the depths to which humanity can sink, and the heights of compassion of which we are capable. How does a community cope with such a terrible crime? What do we learn? How do we make good out of such evil? A la carte cash bar available in venue.
