A SEAGULL IN THE HAMPTONS
March 24 - April 25

(A comedy in 4 acts)                                        
freely adapted by Emily Mann
from Anton Chekhov's The Seagull
directed by Shotgun Company Member Reid Davis

"The sea air was supposed to be good for you."

Spectacular egos, painful compromises, and burning desire. What more could anyone ask from a life of true drama? Finding the humor in the everyday misery, Emily Mann breathes fire into Chekhov''s classic about a theatrical family that eats one of its own.

GOD'S EAR
May 19 - June 20

by Jenny Schwartz
directed by Erica Chong Shuch

"They didn't say anything about miracles, did they?"

Some people say there are five stages to grief. But there are also seven hundred and twenty breaths to every hour, and eight thousand seven hundred hours to every year. Once a couple is shattered by sudden tragedy, exquisite bravery, far flung business trips, and fantastical figures are all things that come between loss and healing.

THE SALT PLAYS, PART ONE:
IN THE WOUND
August 21 - October 3

written and directed by Jon Tracy                                        
music conceptualized by Daniel Bruno
based on
Homer's The Iliad

"And as I lookdown at my hands, I see the future of creation.
And
that Odysseus, is why you will follow me into war."
 
From the team that brought you The Farm comes a unique beat on the most famous war story ever told. Using every classic text on the subject, this original work breaks down the insanity of war into an explosive musical soundscape that will lay egos bare, implode cities, and call into question everything you've ever been forced to believe is true.

Saturdays & Sundays at 3pm in John Hinkel Park, with a special Labor Day performance.

MARY STUART
October 6 - November 7

Get tickets!

adapted from Friedrich Schiller's Mary Stuart and directed by Mark Jackson

"No more tears; now I will think upon revenge."

Four hundred years ago in England, or yesterday in America? The showdown between Elizabeth, Queen of England, and Mary, Queen of Scots plays itself out like a juicy political thriller, replete with intrigue, plot twists, and several stabbed backs.

THE SALT PLAYS, PART TWO:
OF THE EARTH
December 2 - January 16

Get tickets!

written and directed by Jon Tracy                                        
music conceptualized by Daniel Bruno
based on Homer's The Odyssey

One man's cunning won another man's war. Now this soldier's journey home begins. Demons stand between him and his family, monsters of the past, present and future. Finishing the percussive story that began earlier in the season, this second piece tears apart man's concept of himself, and offers a journey of the traumatized mind through to the brilliance and beauty of destiny.
