Academia Nuts – Gregg Kreutz

CLOSED

Professor Peter Smedforson lives in a quiet New England college town, in the former home of poet E.R. Lennox whose writings are the subject of his scholarly life’s work. Reclusive Peter finds his sedate life suddenly turned upside down when his home is invaded by Tammi, a free spirit from Atlantic City whose luck has run out; Judith, another Lennox scholar determined to unearth a lost manuscript in his home; and by Stewart, Judith’s reprehensible ex-husband who is trying to beat her to the manuscript. The discovery of said manuscript and the revelation of its surprising secret provide a hilarious climax to this urbane and quick witted comedy.

The Man from Stratford – adapted by Dee O’Brien

CLOSED

*THEATRE TAMPA BAY RECOMMENDED*

We happy few, we band of four women and four men play multiple parts in this TheatreFor production. An original idea conceived, directed, and costumed by our very own Dee O’Brien, in this mash-up of Shakespeare’s tragedies.  And for some light-heartedness we have Tom Stoppard’s Fifteen Minute Hamlet with all eight performers playing a ghost, a best friend, an onlooker, a king, a queen, an idealist, his girlfriend, her father, her brother, and a gravedigger. All of these scenes are introduced by the Man from Stratford himself and his Scribe. An ideal sampling for both lovers of the Bard and those who know little beyond “…a rose by any other name…”!
