by Theresa Rebeck

They came to learn and ended up getting the schooling of their lives. Tempers, egos and libidos flair when four young writers hire a world-famous novelist to teach a seminar. Direct from Broadway and written by the creator of the hit TV show Smash, Seminar was praised as "slick and satisfying" by The New Yorker. Don't miss the New England premiere of this bawdy and bracing new play.

Dr Jekyll & Mr. Hyde
adapted by Jeffrey Hatcher from the novella Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson
October 24-November 10, 2013
Is there a good and evil side to everyone? And can we always tell the difference? In this new adaptation of the classic tale, Dr Henry Jekyll undertakes experiments aimed at separating the best parts of his personality form the worst. When the result is the disastrous creation of his alter-ego, the savage Edward Hyde, Dr. Jekyll comes face-to-face with the very nature of good and evil. The San Francisco Chronicle calls Hatcher's adaptation of this classic "a smart, tense, and suspenseful new take."
Miracle on 34th Street
From the original screenplay by Valentine Davies
November 29-December 29, 2013
When Kris Kringle agrees to serve as a last-minute replacement for Santa in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, he is so convincing that he is offered a job as the Santa for Macy's Department store. He claims to be the real Santa Claus, but how can he convince the doubters, including an 8-year-old girl who longs to find something to believe in? Based on the classic film starring Edmund Gwenn, Maureen O'Hara, and Natalie Wood, this stage adaptation is certain to be a holiday delight!
