Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? by Edward Albee
September 8-12, 2009 at 8pm
Matinee 2 pm, Sat. Sept. 12
Tickets $4
**Mature Audiences Only**

"The gloves are off in Edward Albee’s electric drama of epic marital sparring. A nightcap between couples seems innocent enough, but George and Martha have other plans. As they empty bottle after bottle, the pairs hit rock bottom, laying bare the illusions between them. Their series of games and humiliations leads to a startling revelation after which all must sift through the rubble."

by Karla Sakas
Tues Sept 22-26 at 8pm
Matinee 2pm Sept 26
* For mature audiences only*
Tickets : $4

Mia tells her daughter Paige that she found her in a grocery store. When teenager Paige demands to know where she really came from, her search for the truth unearths bizarre behaviors and dark secrets involving Mia, Mia’s ex-husband, Rick, and Rick’s second wife, Julia. The Woman Who Always Got What She Wanted is written by JMU graduate Karla Sakas.

"Everyone wants to make a difference in the world by using their talents... but what if you don’t have any? In a new musical comedy by JMU student James Ballard, a group of students decides to take a stand for what they believe in after being rejected by a prestigious performing arts high school and spreads their message that the arts are for everyone, regardless of how much talent they might lack." . Recommended for Mature Audiences (strong language and suggestive themes)

49 by Hanay Geiogamah
Tuesday October 27th - Saturday October 31st 8
and Friday, October 30 at 11:59pm. Recommended for Mature Audiences:
Tickets: $4

Geiogamah’s 49 is a gut-wrenching dissection of the Native American culture through subconscious creation and elaboration. An omnipresent drumbeat leads this narrative through the past and into the future as a tribe of young Native Americans celebrating the “49” ritual comes together to protect their culture. In order to accomplish this Geiogamah drives the piece with music, movement, and classic myth of the Native American nation.
