It's 1938 and eight famous women from eight different historical period are together in the same insane asylum. The absurdity and dark comedy genres in Chamber Music bloom from the passion and courage of women throughout the ages who dared to burst free of the stereotypical female molds, even if in doing so, they were misunderstood, deemed unfit for everyday community, and constrained by their society, particularly in masculine presence. Though set in a dreary setting, the triumph of this play is the beauty and strength of these women's personalities in a world of violence and fear.
The women are, or at least they believe they are, author Gertrude Stein, martyr Joan of Arc, activist Susan B. Anthony, politician Queen Isabella I of Spain, Contanze Mozart (wife of the famed composer), pilot Amelia Earhart, silent-film actress Pearl White, and explorer Osa Johnson.
By Tracy Letts, a Pulitzer Prize winning author

Set in a small donut shop in Chicago's diverse Uptown neighborhood, Superior Donuts is a comedy-drama which explores the challenge of facing one's past as well as what lengths we are willing to go for friendship.
"It is hard to dislike. Who doesn’t hanker for a doughnut now and then?"
"A gentle comedy that unfolds like an extended episode of a 1970s sitcom."
-Isherwood for the New York Times
by Steve Martin
Directed by Greg J. Anderson
Dates: April 19-21, 26-28
Picasso at the Lapin Agile features the characters of Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso, who meet at a bar called the Lapin Agile (Nimble Rabbit) in Montmartre, Paris. It is set on October 8, 1904, and both men are on the verge of an amazing idea (Einstein will publish his special theory of relativity in 1905 and Picasso will paint Les Demoiselles d'Avignon in 1907) when they find themselves at the Lapin Agile, where they have a lengthy debate about the value of genius and talent, while interacting with a host of other characters.
