April 9th	HORSE LATITUDES by Hilary Fannin, Directed by Carolyn Cantor Jude and Ann's seventh wedding anniversary ends in a trial separation. Will experiments in loneliness and infidelity bring them closer together? Are we really doomed to become our parents? A startlingly honest and surprising look at what makes a relationship work.
April 16th	STUNNING by David Adjmi, Directed by Anne Kauffman Sixteen year-old Lily expects married life in her tight-knit community to make her stunningly happy. But when being with her much older husband proves less than romantic, she finds herself swept up in an unconventional friendship with her maid, Blanche. Issues of class, race and sex boil to the surface in this fierce, provocative and funny new play.
April 23rd	A SLEEPING COUNTRY by Melanie Marnich, Directed by Trip Cullman In New York City, a desperate insomniac becomes convinced that she is dying. In Venice, a beautiful, sleepless Italian woman must persuade her to live. A dreamy story of sleep lost and hope found.
April 30th	THE FRONT Music & Lyrics by Paul Gordon & Jay Gruska, Book by Seth Friedman America,1952. Howard Prince, small-time gambler, full-time nobody gets to be somebody. Only its as a "front" for a blacklisted TV writer. Howard quickly finds fame, fortune, the girl of his dreams - and the attention of the House Un-American Activities Committee. Based on the film starring Woody Allen and Zero Mostel.
May 14th	THE LAST BEST PLACE by Bathsheba Doran After two long years in the big city fail to pan out as she'd hoped, Janie returns to her small Montana hometown to start fresh. Can life with her father and the boy who passed her over in high school really be enough? An intimate look at long days under a big sky.
May 21st	HUMAN VOICES by Sarah Treem, Directed by Jo Bonney When poetry icon Christopher Morgan offers struggling young poet Elizabeth a fellowship complete with a publishing deal, she thinks it's the opportunity of a lifetime. But when her mentor's generosity turns sour, Elizabeth is forced to choose between her work and the urge for revenge. Trusts are betrayed and ideals shattered in this bold look at who defines the value of art.
