Memory Lane is a Desert Road
April 4th through 13th
Fridays/Saturdays @ 8pm; Sundays @ 2pm
Fatima gets lost in history and memory while searching through boxes of photos from her father, Mark’s, career in photojournalism. With her father often away from home covering wars, famines, and global politics, Fatima knows very little about his decades of life-threatening work, so she sorts through boxes of photos and negatives for answers about his life, trying to find a path for her own under the shadow of his legacy. This memory play is an exploration of how global politics influence our personal lives, how the past informs the future, how parents’ lives intersect with their children’s, how history and memory clash, and the search for answers to unknown questions in dusty boxes

An American professor, Michael Wells, is captured and held hostage in a windowless cubicle in Beirut. His wife, Lainie, has wiped bare a room in their United States home so that, at least symbolically, she can share his ordeal. This is the setting for both imaginary conversations between husband and wife, and real conversations with two other players, an ambitious reporter set on getting the story out and an accomplished State Department official who would prefer the story remain quiet. As the story moves forward we learn that conflicting interests, while based on good intentions and sound principles on each side, can have dangerous and often deadly results. Such is the state of the world we live in now, as Two Rooms written in 1988, still rings true today.

Based on the best-selling novel, The Bridges of Madison County captures the lyrical expanse of America’s heartland along with the yearning entangled in the eternal question, “What if…?”
Francesca Johnson, a beautiful Italian woman who married an American soldier to flee war-ravaged Italy, looks forward to a rare four days alone on her Iowa farm when her family heads to the 1965 State Fair. When ruggedly handsome, National Geographic photographer, Robert Kincaid, pulls into her driveway seeking directions, though, what happens in those four days may very well alter the course of Francesca’s life.

Adapted from Ettore Scola’s 1981 film Passione d’Amore, Passion is one of Stephen Sondheim’s most emotional works. Intimate, raw, erotic and dark, it explores universal, yet often unspoken, truths.
At a remote military outpost in 1863 Italy, a handsome army captain, Giorgio, separated from his beautiful – but married – mistress, Clara, is forced to re-evaluate his beliefs about love when he becomes the object of the obsessive, unrelenting passions of Fosca, his Colonel’s plain, sickly cousin.
