Hole in the Wall Theater: 2011/2012 Season

 


Life X Three
by Yasmina Reza

Directed by Matthew Skwiot

The French playwright Yasmina Reza is one of the most gifted writers for the stage today. Her plays explore modern, chaotic reality in simple forms of disillusionment and hysterical humor. “Life x3” represents all that is most distinctive and prominent in Reza’s writing: sharp and witty language, examination of detail in everyday life and precise form that speaks for itself. Prosaic situation becomes a pretext for speculation of starry consequences. The outcome is only one…or…three…

Reefer Madness
Book and lyrics by Kevin Murphy, music by Dan Studney

Reefer Madness is a hilarious musical satire based on the 1936 propaganda film of the same name. This over-the-top tale of teenage Jimmy's fall from grace is set against the canvas of the 1930s ideal. This twisted, nothing sacred romp mixes quick laughs with memorable songs. A cast of colorful, engaging characters and the story of just how dangerous the "demon weed" can be results in nothing short of madness, reefer madness!

Show Dates:
May 11, 12, 18, 19, 20*, 25, 26, 27* and June 1, 2 Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m.
and *Sundays at 2 p.m
