About the Show
I Rise In Flame, Cried the Phoenix by Tennessee Williams
Directed by Robert Taylor
From the author of timeless masterpieces like "A Streetcar Named Desire" and "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," Tennessee Williams was a titan of 20th-century theater, with many of his plays adapted for the big screen. He collaborated with iconic actors such as Marlon Brando.
The Story
Meet Lawrence, Frieda, and Bertha Brett. We encounter Lawrence at the twilight of his career, embodying the erratic, inspired, ill-tempered genius struggling to find peace in life.
All Cotton by Shel Silverstein
Directed by Lennon Smith
Grammy Award-winning poet Shel Silverstein, known for his hit song “A Boy Named Sue,” brings us madcap antics in a seemingly simple clothing store where nothing is quite what it seems.
The Story
Jill is livid when the blouse guaranteed not to shrink shrinks six sizes, and Rachel, the store clerk, refuses a cash refund. But Jill, it turns out, is a witch, and when she doesn’t get her way, she casts a spell on the entire store.
The Actor by Horton Foote
Directed by Claire Johanson-Muller
Pulitzer Prize winner Horton Foote, who earned an Oscar for his "To Kill a Mockingbird" screenplay, fell in love with acting at just 10 years old. His short play "The Actor" might be part fiction, part autobiography. You decide.
The Story
This play humorously and poignantly tells the tale of a young man passionate about acting, willing to make any sacrifice to pursue his dream despite his parents’ opposing expectations. It's a charming exploration of artistic ambition from one of modern theatre’s greatest voices.
Opposites Attract by Pamela Whitchurch
STAR Society President and Co-Founder Pamela Whitchurch continues her father’s legacy of writing short plays and skits. While therapy has its place, her play "Opposites Attract" shows the humorous side of our quirks.
The Story
A new therapy group session begins. Will they survive the first meeting, or will their differences bring them together?
The Venue
The Loft at Old Town
Seating
Our "little" Theatre is an intimate environment, seating up to 40.
Accessibility
Our space is located on the second floor of a historic building that is over 100 years old. At this time, we regret that there is no ADA-accessible entry. We recognize the importance of accessibility and are actively working to secure grants and funding to make our space inclusive for all. As a startup nonprofit, the cost of these modifications is currently beyond our financial reach, but ensuring adequate access is a top priority for us. We appreciate your understanding and support as we work toward this important goal.
The Robins Nest Bar
Enjoy a variety of beverages, including beer, wine, and mimosas, as well as delicious snacks available for purchase at our in-house bar, "The Robin’s Nest." Make your evening even more delightful by indulging in refreshments before or during the show.
