A Note From the Artistic Director

One of the theatre's responsibilities is to tell stories reflecting our relationships as human beings.  It also is a medium through which we can explore how we behave towards each other, impact one another, and the social and political forces that bring us together or keep us apart.  To what degree do these influences shape us?  And what are the consequences that stem from these conditions?  These are some of the questions we hope to raise as artists.

"Souls On Fire" spoke to what happens to a city literally in flames as a result of an immense injustice.  "Yohen" looked at a long-term, intimate interracial relationship as it unraveled.  The one true, hard, fast rule of theatre, as in life, is to listen.  In "Bee-Luther-Hatchee" playwright Thomas Gibbons explores the idea of listening which in turn promotes the prospect of understanding.  Only then, may acceptance occur.  "Bee-Luther-Hatchee" offers few easy answers, but uses specific questions we must consider if we are to mature into enlightened beings.  Join us in witnessing how morality, ethics, integrity, and principals are put to the test.

Thank you and see you soon.
