mary postgate
by RUDYARD KIPLING
ADAPTED BY jay parini
directed by richard romagnoli
SUNDAY October 4, 4PM
All tickets $15
She has spent her whole life being useful — quiet, capable, invisible. She has buried her feelings the way she buries everything else: without complaint. But when World War One takes the one person she ever truly loved, something in Mary Postgate wakes up.
Adapted from Rudyard Kipling's most unsettling short story, Mary Postgate is a taut, single-set chamber piece about grief, repression, and the terrible clarity of revenge. Set against the smoke of a garden incinerator on an ordinary English afternoon, it asks what happens when a lifetime of swallowed rage finally finds somewhere to go.
Kipling wrote it in 1915 and readers have argued about it ever since. Come see why — and decide for yourself whether Mary Postgate is a monster, a mourner, or simply, finally, herself.

Based on the curious true story of a house in granville, Vermont built in the 18th century that still stands today. In the 19th century the house was occupied by the Lamb sisters, two of whom married John deere, who invented the john deere plow. Then, in the 1930's, legend has it that several lesbian farmers came to granville and rescued the house and land after the collapse of the lumber industry. tales of Vermont women during these two eras facing the parallel themes of social restraint and the degradation of the natural landscape are woven together in the play revealing a potential message for our own time.
darwin in malibu
by crispin whitell
Directed by cheryl faraone
SUNDAY JUNE 28, 2026, 4PM
143 years after he published the origin of the species, (and 120 years after his death), charles darwin sits on the deck of a malibu beach house. up pops the bishop of oxford, samuel wilberforce, and darwin's friend and champion thomas huxley, both also long dead and buried. experience of life and death, love and loss, mean that previouysly held certainties are now uncertainties. once you know something - whether it is about dna or what your boyfriend did last night - nothing is ever the same again. and while science may be able to explain how we got here, it cannot explain why we are here. It cannot explain our hearts. crispin whittell's comic drama is fiercely intelligent and also delicate as it probes the mysteries of what makes us human and why.
