BURYING TONI
by Catherine Frid
Burying Toni explores the complexities within Emma Jung as she grapples with her history, real and imagined, after 50 years of marriage to psychoanalyst Carl Jung. Emma conjures up her husband, Sigmund Freud, and others as she struggles to understand the truth about her past. Read More...
YOU HAVE TO EARN IT
by Ramona Baillie and Maria Popoff
This madcap roller-coaster ride pays homage to the screwball comedies of the 30s and 40s. A philandering boss, a scheming new employee and a wacky mail room clerk, to name just a few, all with hidden agendas. Can the unassuming Betty survive the intrigue of the corporate world? Read More...
PLAYWRIGHTS SPEAK
Join our three playwrights, Ramona Baillie, Maria Popoff and Catherine Frid, as they compare notes on what inspired them, how their scripts evolved, the peaks and valleys of development from draft to draft, how they sought out feedback – and how they coped with the advice, criticism, praise and encouragement.
ROUNDTABLES
Take part in a spirited and provocative symposium. Scholars and experts, with experience and expertise in the issues raised by the play, will exchange their thoughts with each other and with you.
