At the large, tastefully appointed Sneden’s Landing townhouse, the Deputy Mayor of New York has just shot himself. Though only a flesh wound, four couples are about to experience a severe attack of Farce. Gathering for their tenth wedding anniversary, the host lies bleeding in the other room and his wife is nowhere in sight. His lawyer, Ken and wife Chris must get “the story” straight before the other guests arrive. As the confusions and mis-communications mount, the evening spins off into classic farcical hilarity. Saturday’s performance will be accompanied by a Dessert Night Theater Fundraiser! More information can be found closer to the date: www.nmschoolforthearts.org Tickets can be purchased here

November 5 & November 6, 7pm, November 7, 2pm – The House of Bernarda Alba
The Theater Department’s second Fall production will be Garcia Lorca’s “The House of Bernarda Alba,” directed by Elizabeth Wiseman. Performances will be held at Warehouse 21. Lorca described the play in its subtitle as a drama of women in the villages of Spain. The House of Bernarda Alba was Lorca’s last play, completed on 19 June 1936, two months before Lorca’s death during the Spanish Civil War. The play centers on theevents of a house in Andalusia during a period of mourning, in which Bernarda Alba (aged 60) wields total control over her five daughters Angustias (39 years old), Magdalena (30), Amelia (27), Martirio, (24), and Adela (20). The housekeeper (La Poncia) and Bernarda’s elderly mother (María Josefa) also live there. Upon her second husband’s death, domineering matriarch Bernarda Alba imposes a 7-year mourning period on her household in accordance with her family tradition. Bernarda has 5 daughters, aged between 20 and 39, whom she has controlled inexorably and prohibited from any form of relationship. The mourning period further isolates them and tension mounts within the household.
