Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare • Directed by Julie Fei-Fan Balzer • October 2003

"...[A]s much fun with a classic comedy as one can imagine...the cast's energy and Balzer's deft direction make this a Twelfth Night that's a treat, enjoyable both for its modern silliness and its easy handling of Shakespeare's complicated plot."

Mushroom in Her Hands is a loose adaptation of several chapters of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. Lewis Carroll was the pseudonym adopted by the Oxford don and Anglican deacon Charles Lutwidge Dodgson who once famously said, "I am fond of children (except boys)."   Dodgson was friendly with many little girls, often taking eerily adult photographs of them.   In Mushroom in Her Hands, the playwright takes episodes from the novel, and reinvents them as speculation about what the relationship between Dodgson and the real Alice Liddell could have been.

The Receipt Plays are a collection of original ten-minute plays. Each playwright randomly chose a shopping receipt out of a milk can and wrote a ten-minute play inspired by that receipt.

With an intriguing use of narrative, this play blurs the line between love and obsession. Rose's solitary life is thrown into turmoil when she meets Ben and his wife, Diane. These three characters set the corners of a lover's triangle that spins out of control.

Aristophanes' classic tale of a man bent on restoring peace to his war torn country certainly still resonates with us today.   This modern musical adaptation deals with many of the issues surrounding war, not the least of which is how those who profit by war succeed in keeping peace in abeyance.
