It’s Thelma and Louise on steroids as a pair of restless middle-aged women take a riotous joy ride, complete with squealing tires, tequila-chugging and Meat Loaf blaring from the car radio, and drive head-first into love, life and the perils of marriage.  Liz Zazzi (Ten Percent of Molly Snyder and Tour de Farce) returns as one of the trio of actors in this outrageous comedy. Adult language and situations.

What’s it like to be the first? Decades before the Emancipation Proclamation, John Newton Templeton, an ex-slave, is the first African-American to attend Ohio University. The college’s president, Robert Wilson, an avowed abolitionist, has big plans for him. But the president’s wife is more skeptical: As a woman, she is not permitted to study at the college. And Templeton, unexpectedly, has ideas of his own about the future. Winner of a Jeff Award for Best New Work, FREE MAN OF COLOR is a provocative meditation on race and responsibility, based on historical events, about who we are and where we came from. New York premiere.
