Optimism! or Voltaire's Candide
by Francois-Marie Arouet (Voltaire)

adapted by TJ Edwards

Directed by Michael Chamberlin
​

April 25 – May 19, 2013

Voltaire’s masterpiece, adapted for the stage in rhymed couplets by playwright TJ Edwards, is an assault on society, religion, human nature, education, government and above all, optimism. Candide’s journey is here enacted by nine actors playing over 70 roles in a madcap journey to discover just what it is that makes life worth living.

Kafka on the Shore
by Haruki Murakami

January 31-February 24, 2013
​
Filled with riddles—only some of them solved. A kaleidoscope of images and characters who morph, combine, and fall into patterns of perfect dream logic. A journey to the brink of the subconscious and back.
