In loving memory of Betty Fellows (Aunt Betts) who passed away September 14, 2013 due to complications with Alzheimer’s. Through this play she continues to teach us all how tenuous this journey is when crippled with the disease.

In a summer cottage on Chesapeake Bay, Gunner has hatched an unorthodox plan to secure his family’s future but meets with resistance from his wife and son, who have plans of their own. As winter approaches, the three must quickly find common ground and come to an understanding-before the tide goes out. This new drama hums with dark humor and powerful emotion.

“A poignant play about illness, death and personal choice, The Outgoing Tide is nothing if not intensely relatable. But while speaking to a broad audience, Bruce Graham’s three-person play… possesses a notable modesty.” – Variety

The Outgoing Tide is presented by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc., New York.

Japanese hipster slackers working in a coffee/comic book shop live out their loves, break-ups, rivalries, and moral dilemmas in a state that might best be described as intensely active inaction. The presence of a younger female co-worker rightly makes them question the meaning of their lives in a shifting socio-economic landscape. Think The Office meets Waiting for Godot.

“Toshiki Okada’s hipster comedy Enjoy will shake up, infuriate, challenge, annoy, and reward the same audience.” – Stagegrade.com

This translation was originally commissioned and developed by The Play Company (Katie Loewald, Founding Producer) in New York City
Enjoy is presented by special arrangement with SAMUEL FRENCH, INC.

May 2 – May 24, 2014

Co-produced with Megan Kate Ward

Directed by Megan Kate Ward

Katha and Ryu have become allergic to their 21st-century lives. After they meet a charismatic man from a community of 1950s reenactors, they forsake cell phones and sushi for cigarettes and Tupperware parties. In this compulsively authentic world, Katha and Ryu are surprised by what their new neighbors—and they themselves—are willing to sacrifice for happiness.

“A clever, sharply drawn fantasy. Makes a sneaky, compelling case for the seductions of living the Ozzie and Harriet life.” —The New York Times

Maple and Vine is presented by special arrangement with SAMUEL FRENCH, INC.
