ONE LAST THING BEFORE I FORGET

GERTRUDE AND OPHELIA IN HELL
“Poling and Lyles share a nice comic chemistry…” Rory Ford, The Scotsman

QUEER READING SERIES-FALL
Trevor, the golden boy, struggled with his attraction to men from an early age being raised in a conservative religious family. At two different critical moments in his life, his future self and his younger self come to show him the strength he truly has as they revisit pivotal conversations with his parents and brother. They must navigate shame, responsibility and expectations and find ways to love and celebrate their true self. The coming out process is unique to each person and is also a communal experience for those that are LGBTQ+, especially when you add religion and family to the journey. Will the family choose religion over their son?
MAINSTAGE READING SERIES-FALL
Directed by Susan Lyles
Starring Jane Fromme and Arabella Beaubrun
Angie, an experienced trauma therapist for refugees, walks out of her office and into seclusion after one too many encounters with the horrors of genocidal violence. An inspired fascination with lead singer Steve Perry, whom she believes is a reclusive kindred spirit, sparks six-months of letter-writing to Perry and a period of introspection in which Angie draws on her past, her friendships and her family to come to terms with the cruelty in the world.
