Upcoming Events
Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike
Mar 21st to Apr 6th
In a crumbling old farmhouse in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, sibling non-achievers, Vanya and Sonia, wait for the daily visit of the blue heron while mourning their lost dreams and missed opportunities. When their often-wrong, fortune-telling maid warns of impending dangers, and their movie star sister, Masha, arrives unexpectedly with young, sexy, boy toy, Spike, the family is launched into a rollicking weekend of one-upmanship, exposed nerves, and a lot of broken mugs. With wit and absurdity, Christopher Durang’s Tony-Award winning Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike blends Chekhov’s famous ennui and restlessness with the modern-day toils and troubles of celebrity, social networking, and aging into a laugh-out-loud comedy that will tickle your funny bone and stimulate your mind.
Venus in Fur
May 8th to May 17th
Dirty Gold Theatre presents David Ives’ bold and electrifying play, Venus in Fur. Loosely inspired by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch’s 1870 novella Venus in Furs—the source of the term masochism—Ives reimagines the story in a sharp, contemporary setting. What begins as a late-night audition quickly unravels into a seductive power play that blurs the boundaries between actor and character, dominance and submission, truth and performance. With biting wit and escalating psychological tension, Venus in Fur dives deep into themes of gender, desire, and control.
