A rip snorting comedy by Jane Martin
A beer guzzling, middle-aged rancher
woman (Big 8) is having a grand time nursing a good looking
cowboy through his rodeo injuries. The unconventional pair’s
idyll is threatened by Big 8’s financial woes (her ranch
is about to be foreclosed on) but most of all by the invasion
of a floozy (with a pretty plastic hand) on the run from
her Hell’s Angel biker pursuer. Add the return of Big 8’s
prodigal son, her unhelpful sister and gun violence to the
mix, and this comedy breaks every code of the wild, wild
West.

A sensational
new song cycle by Mark Campbell
An off-Broadway sensation, this
is an exciting new cabaret styled theatre piece. Lyricist
Campbell collaborated with eighteen cabaret composers
to create sung narratives of the passions, pitfalls and
puzzles of modern romantic relationships. The result is
an intimate behind-the-scenes exploration of what it means
to have a heart filled with meanings the mind still tries
to grasp. Simple, powerful and unforgettable, the singers
are supported by piano and cello.

A Bunraku puppet show for all the family by Theatre
Three’s Bruce R. Coleman
All dramatic plotting and, for that
matter, all modern psychology flows from the tales of gods,
demi-gods and humans devised by the Greeks in ancient times.
Using Bunraku puppetry techniques (where the large puppets
are manipulated by puppeteers dressed in black) and developing
this design with special black lighting, Coleman and his
performers will create a magical and mysterious look into
enduring legends and stories that continue to be a reference
for today’s modern thinkers.

The annual bring-back smash hit revue for all romantics
by Jimmy Roberts & Joe DiPietro
It’s a hugely entertaining show that Theatre Three revives
every year around Valentine’s Day -- and it sells out! It’s
the perfect revue of courtship and marriage that has earned
its place as a signature piece by Theatre Three, andfeaturing
gifted sketch comedy players who sing and dance their way
through all the phases of romance and marriage.

A new comedy
by Christopher Durang
This latest comedy by Durang (author of such previous Theatre
Three hits as Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All for
You, Beyond Therapy, and For Whom the Southern
Bell Tolls) dives headfirst into a world of inappropriate
marriage, political instabilities, and preacher-produced
porn. Durang’s comedies hilariously (and provocatively)
expose the hypocrisy of just about every strongly-held belief
system on which American culture is based. A nice girl from
a conventional family marries Zamir, a charismatic but mysterious
man of indeterminate ethnicity. What could go wrong?

A memorable drama by Naomi Iizuka
With language used like a loaded weapon, Naomi Iizuka’s
splendidly realized drama about a small town tragedy of
working-class people is an eerie and powerful narration;
a kind of ghost story set in the cave country of North Carolina.
The disappearance of a young girl lost in the cave at the
edge of town gathers the community to puzzle out the meaning
and the circumstances of the mysterious loss.
