Maple and Vine >> By Jordan Harrison Directed by Damon Kiely Showtimes Have Ended Katha and Ryu, a successful NYC couple, have become allergic to their 21st century lives. After meeting a charismatic man from a community of 1950's re-enactors, they forgo cell phones and sushi for cigarettes and Tupperware parties. In this compulsively authentic world, Katha and Ryu are surprised by what their new neighbors - and they themselves - are willing to sacrifice for happiness.

The Girl in the Yellow Dress >> By Craig Higginson Directed by Joanie Schultz Showtimes Have Ended When Pierre, a French-Congolese pupil, signs up for English lessons with Celia, a beautiful young white teacher, they both get more than they bargained for. Set in contemporary Paris, this gripping new play explores the ways in which class, race, and language continue to divide us.

After the Revolution >> By Amy Herzog Directed by Kimberly Senior Extended through May 19, 2012 The young, brilliant Emma Joseph proudly carries the torch of her family's Marxist tradition by devoting her life to the memory of her famously blacklisted grandfather. When history reveals a shocking truth about the man himself, the entire family is forced to confront questions of honesty and an allegiance they thought had been long resolved. AFTER THE REVOLUTION is a bold and hilariously moving portrait of a Jewish American family, forced to reconcile a thorny and delicate legacy.
