Come experience the birth of a new play...
ONTARIO WAS HERE

Nathan and Penni are two bright Kansas City social workers who give their all for the children they serve, determined to make a difference.
When a case blurs the lines between romance, work, and friendship, their dreams of changing the world are put to the test.
Listen, contribute, and engage in the developmental process. Intimate discussions with the playwright follow each reading.

New Jersey Premiere
CLYBOURNE PARK
by Bruce Norris
July 11 through 28, 2013
Thursdays and Fridays at 8 p.m.
Saturdays at 3 and 8 p.m.
Sunday at 3 p.m.
A exceptionally witty and deliciously dry satire that explores the effects on Clybourne Park's 1950's all white community when a couple unknowingly sells their house to a black family.
The tables of gentrification turn when fifty years later, the now all black community greets the news of an impending sale to a white family with the same level of apprehension.
"A spiky and damningly insightful new comedy."
– Ben Brantley, THE NEW YORK TIMES
Zella Fry Theatre, in the Vaughn Eames Building

A woman's life is turned upside down when she suspects that her teenage son may be planning an attack on a school. Is her son capable of the unthinkable? And if she's wrong, will she
ruin any chance he has at a normal life? The Beautiful Dark is a powerful and moving story of a modern mother's ultimate dilemma.
