Billy Bishop Goes to War
April 9 - 26, 2015
By John Gray and Eric Peterson
From a rowdy, unruly, and impetuous youth to a respectable, venerated veteran, Billy Bishop Goes To War follows a boy's journey into manhood. Canadian WWI fighter pilot, Billy Bishop, defies all expectations and becomes a top ace ? a " hero in the sky." With laudable historical accuracy and catchy tunes, this play illustrates Bishop's intimate thoughts about his odyssey through the turbulent trials and tribulations of war.
Heroes
July 2 - 19, 2015
By Gerald Sibleyras (Translated by Tom Stoppard)
Winner of the Olivier Award for Best New Comedy! A quirky quartet comprised of three elderly WWI veterans and a stone dog statue, spend their days occupying the terrace of an old soldiers home in France in 1959. The three men share stories, memories, and ideas of varying mental clarity. Troubled over their monotonous lives, they hatch an escape plan ? destination: Indochina or just over the nearest hill. Heroes is a touching and achingly honest portrayal of what it means to be a survivor.
Waiting for the Parade
August 20 - September 6, 2015
By John Murrell
Struggling through life at home during WWII, five women brave unique battles. Waiting for the Parade offers a rare glimpse into the effects of war on those left behind. Mirroring the spectrum of emotions that soldiers would likely possess, each woman feels differently about the war, whether it is pride, worry, or loneliness ? each woman must combat adversity, crisis, and pain.
Churchill
May 28 - 31, 2015 and October 1 - 4, 2015
By Andrew Edlin
This is a gripping one-man play about famous British statesman, author, orator, journalist and soldier Sir Winston Churchill. It is April 1955. Churchill, aged 80, after entertaining the Queen and Prince Philip for dinner at No. 10 Downing Street, agonizes in his wartime bunker below London whether to finally resign as Prime Minister as the Cold War gathers pace. He is old, tired and losing his grip. As he tries to decide, he rolls back the years and reviews his uniquely eventful career, filled with history-changing events and famous people, glorious speeches, pithy comments, funny stories, and all the wit and wisdom that has made Churchill beyond merely one of history's greatest figures into an imperishable legend.
