Two southern sisters, one dead father, one canceled wedding, and a knife—all part of a recipe for family trouble in this darkly humorous drama about people who understand their shared past so differently that they can’t connect in the present. Crystal has canceled her second wedding and returned to her mother’s home for a makeshift dinner instead of a reception, and family tension is running high. Her mother, her sister, and her sister’s husband all try to help ease her pain, but when comfort fails and talk won’t yield to understanding, they find themselves facing their own discontent- with themselves and with each other. The disclosure of family lies brings this play to a shattering conclusion as it poses painful questions about what family values are, what the value of family is, and how history repeats itself from generation to generation.

Based freely on the work and early life of surrealist artist René Magritte, this is an unorthodox adventure in theatrical form. It celebrates art and the imagination, exploring how these help us confront life’s mysteries. Here is the story of young René, who wants to be an artist, a notion dismissed by his father as “a pipe dream.” Encouraged by his mother, before her untimely death, the boy begins his quest. He follows his vision into the delightfully absurd magic realism of his famous paintings. The boy and the audience discover something of the true power of dreams and the triumph of imagination. The multi-image dramatic staging incorporates spectacular color images of René Magritte’s artwork.

With government leaders getting poisoned left and right, the Tasters have an important job — eating delicious, gourmet meals, and then waiting to see if they die. When rebellious Taster Elyse goes on hunger strike, she kicks off a series of events that will change the course of history… while putting all of the Tasters’ lives in jeopardy. In her sharp, energetic new play, Meghan Brown (The Pliant Girls) explores the nuances of political resistance, self-interest, and individual action, creating hope in the face of hopelessness.
