2/8/12 – 3/18/12
Blue/Orange [CLICK HERE to Buy Tickets]
By Joe Penhall
Directed by Edris Cooper-Anifowoshe
Featuring Carl Lumbly (Alias, Cagney & Lacey)
Who is right, who is wrong? Who is sane, who is crazy? In a London psychiatric hospital, an enigmatic patient claims to be the son of an African dictator — a story that becomes more and more unnervingly plausible as the play progresses. Blue/Orange is an incendiary tale of race, madness and power.

The conflict in Blue/Orange is between two psychiatrists, Robert Smith (Julian Lopez-Morillas), a senior doctor at a London hospital, and his protégé, Bruce Flaherty (Dan Clegg). The conflict arises when a man named Christopher (Carl Lumbly) has been admitted to the hospital for evaluation. He has received a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder, but may be more seriously ill, as Dr. Flaherty believes, with schizophrenia. Christopher is about to be released, but Dr. Flaherty wants him committed, a course of action that Dr. Smith opposes. It doesn't take long, however, for Christopher's interests to become less of a focus for his caretakers and more of a weapon with which they take turns attacking each other.

4/4/12 – 5/12/12
Blues for an Alabama Sky [CLICK HERE to Buy Tickets]
By Pearl Cleage
Directed by Michele Shay
Featuring Robert Gossett (The Closer)
This is a love story of a sort, set during the Harlem Renaissance, rich with history, culture, music and dreams. It takes a dramatic turn when religion, lies, and sexual orientations collide.
