Two Rooms
by Lee Blessing
January 30, Monday, 7PM
 An American teacher is held hostage in a dark room after being captured in Beirut. His wife holds a vigil for him in an empty room in their house outside DC. Lee Blessing’s Two Rooms navigates the worlds of politics, journalism, and terrorism, while examining the ties that bind people together and the forces that would tear them apart.
“The playwright’s eye is penetrating… In [Two Rooms], Mr. Blessing reaffirms his authority with timely political questions.” – The New York Times

The King's Face
by Steven Young
March 5, Monday, 7PM
 At the battle of Shrewsbury, King Henry IV’s crown is at last secured, only to have his son, Prince Harry of Monmouth, struck down with an arrow to the face. The Prince is given up for dead. As a last resort, surgeon John Bradmore is summoned to examine the young royal. Over the course of several days, the pair develop a unique bond, while examining questions of war, religion, patriotism, and what it means to lead a nation, revealing the true temperament of the future King Henry V.
“Totally engaging... an absorbing and satisfying evening, with plenty to muse on. Real, living history.”
– Fringe Review

Mr. & Mrs. Fitch
by Douglas Carter Beane
April 12-29, Thursday – Saturday 8 PM, Sunday 2 PM
Meet gossip columnists Mr. and Mrs. Fitch. When the social circuit no longer provides juicy morsels, and when the pressure to create news in our never-ending news cycle becomes just a bit much, it’s time to toss back the martinis, dish out the bon mots, and realize that great celebrity can just appear out of thin air. This wicked, urbane comedy is a scathing look at who is in, who is out, and who may not even exist at all.

The Understudy
by Theresa Rebeck
July 19 – August 5, Thursday – Saturday 8 PM, Sunday 2 PM
 The star he's working with doesn't get the play. The disgruntled stage manager happens to be his bitter ex-fiancé. The set technician is high. Just another day in the life of an understudy. The most thankless job in theatre takes center stage in Theresa Rebeck's bitingly funny look at the underbelly of the acting world. Through the course of a dress rehearsal, we glimpse all the genius, bitterness and ridiculousness that underscore a life in showbiz.
“Pulverizingly funny” – The Wall Street Journal
“A razor-sharp black comedy” – Entertainment Weekly

Fiction
by Steven Dietz
September 13-30, Thursday – Saturday 8 PM
 Best-selling authors Michael and Linda Waterman treasure their honest marriage, until a harsh twist of fate compels them to read each other's diaries. Between the lines, stretching deep into the past, a secret liaison with a mysterious stranger surfaces, forever altering married life's delicate balance of fact and fiction.
“Take this as a fact. Fiction, a new play by Steven Dietz, is a work of uncommon insight – an adult, unsparing and yet often witty look at the intimate relationship between a man and a woman during a time of crisis.” – Associated Press

The Ding Dongs or What is the Penalty in Portugal?
by Brenda Withers
December 3, Monday, 7 PM
 When a sweet-faced couple shows up on a suburban doorstep, an unsuspecting homeowner finds himself the victim of a surreal home invasion. Using wit and wordplay to mask a more sinister threat, the couple wages a battle over indigenous rights from the living room, and we are asked to examine the brutality that fuels our system of private property.
