Our Country's Good
by Timberlake Wertenbaker

"[The play is] a mixture of brutality, terror, humor, irony, nascent love, dreams of ghosts and philosophizing about the nature of art in general and theatre in particular. [Playwright] Wertenbaker touches all the bases."
-Hollywood Reporter

Triumph of Love
Music by Jeffrey Stock
Lyrics by Susan Birkenhead
Book by James Magruder
(Based on a play by Marivaux)

"The Triumph of Love is a romantic comedy in the most conventional sense, but it's also a rhapsody about the tradition of live theater, and about preservation of the old ways by breathing fresh life into them." -Stephanie Zacharek / Salon Arts and Entertainment

by Phyllis Nagy

" by freeing his story from its historical trappings and centering it on the sensual perceptions of the daughter rather than on the spiritual strivings of the adult males, Nagy has assumed the prophetic mantle of the muses."-G.L. Horton /
