By Regina Taylor

Marberry
A co-production with Ebony Repertory Theatre
In Association with Regina Taylor
July 10 - August 16, 2009
Winner of four Washington D.C. Helen Hayes awards
including Best Regional Musical, Crowns explores the
lives of the "hat queens," six women in the South whose
stories of love, loss, identity and sisterhood are woven
into the hats that crown their heads and the songs that
speak their truth. Based on the acclaimed coffee table
book, Crowns captures the thrill of self expression with
a series of intimate musical portraits.
Approximate Running Time: 1 hour and 40 minutes with no
intermission.

THE PAIN AND THE ITCH
Written by Bruce Norris
Directed by Dámaso Rodriguez
A Co-Production with
The Theatre
@ Boston Court
July 25 - August 23, 2009
(Previews July 16-24)
A young daughter in serious need of attention. A ravenous creature possibly
prowling the upstairs bedrooms. An average Thanksgiving for one privileged
family unravels into an exposé of disastrous choices and
less-than-altruistic motives. The Pain and the Itch is a scathing
comedy about the politics of class and race, a controversial, painfully
human examination of denial and its consequences.
At The Theatre @ Boston Court.
