2024-2025 Season: Scandal!
FALL
Vinegar Tom by Caryl Churchill
Directed by Elizabeth Helman
November 14-16 and 21-22 at 7:30 pm and November 24 at 2:00 pm
Ed Ray Theater
Caryl Churchill’s experimental 1976 play depicts the stories of Alice and Joan, two outsiders in their community who become the targets of slander and persecution for their seemingly transgressive behavior. By combining a historical narrative of 17th century witch trials with contemporary rock songs and witty dialogue, Churchill creates a haunting and timely examination of gender and power dynamics.
WINTER
Violets in the Night: inspired by Samuel Taylor Coleridge's Christabel by Mircalla Addams
February 13-15 at 7:30 pm and February 16 at 2:00 pm
Philomath Museum
A new play by OSU Theatre student, Mircalla Addams explores the very nature of good and evil with touches of the surreal and supernatural.
The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde
Directed by Craig Willis
March 6-8 and 14-15 at 7:30 pm and March 16 at 2:00 pm
Ed Ray Theater
The road to true love has many bumps along the way for Jack Worthing when his attempts to marry Gwendolyn are thwarted by the forbidding Lady Bracknell and further complicated by his rakish friend and rival Algernon Moncrieff. Oscar Wilde’s witty and enduring 1895 comedy of manners turns romance and the British class system inside-out with a heavy dose of deceit, scheming, and mistaken identity.
SPRING
Hay Fever by Noel Coward
Directed by Andrew Beck
May 15-17 at 7:30 pm and May 18 at 2:00 pm
Ed Ray Theater
Hoping for a quiet weekend in the country with some guests, David Bliss, a novelist, and his wife, Judith, a retired actress, find quiet an impossible dream when their high-spirited children, Simon and Sorel, appear with guests of their own. A houseful of drama waits to be ignited as misunderstandings and tempers flare. With Judith’s new flame and David’s newest literary “inspiration” keeping company as the children follow suit, the Bliss family lives up to its name as the “quiet weekend” comes to an exhausting and hilarious finale in this classic and sexy farce.
