“Oleanna” by David Mamet
Troy Theater
When a male professor tries to help a struggling female student who is failing his class, the end result is far beyond what either expects. What begins as a simple meeting behind closed doors leads to misinterpretations, accusations and a high-stakes struggle for power

Sam Shepard’s most produced play tells the story of two brothers: an ambitious Hollywood screenwriter working on a potential million-dollar deal, and a vagabond thief with a compulsion for six-packs and toasters. The pair face off for control while venting demons from their dysfunctional past.

The Laramie Project
Troy Theater
The Laramie Project by Moises Kaufman and Members of the Tectonic Theater Project. Soon after the brutal murder of gay college student Matthew Shepard, outside of Laramie, Wyoming in 1998, Moises Kaufman, the leader of a New York theatre company went there and held interviews with Laramie residents about the murder, the media’s onslaught, and the trial of the men who killed him. From these interviews, Kaufman pieced together a play from the words of Laramie residents, verbatim, and without bias exploring the depths to which humanity can sink, and the heights of compassion we are also capable of.

Guys and Dolls
Troy Theater
“Guys and Dolls” Based on a Story and Characters of Damon Runyon Music and Lyrics by Frank Loesser Book by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows. Set in Damon Runyon’s mythical New York City, considered by many to be the perfect musical comedy, soars with the spirit of Broadway as it introduces us to a cast of vivid characters and some of the most popular songs of the era, including “Sit Down, You’re Rocking the Boat,” “If I Were a Bell,” “Guys and Dolls,” and “Luck be a Lady.”
