* Classics including works by Shakespeare, Congreve, Ibsen, Chekhov,
Synge, Wilde, and Shaw
* Acclaimed modern plays by authors such as O’Neill, Miller, Williams,
Coward, Hansberry, and Wilder
* Challenging contemporary works by playwrights like Nottage, Kushner,
Stoppard, Ruhl and Zimmerman
* New works by local writers–full-length plays and 10-minute Pear Slices
