Oct. 4, 5, 10, 11, 12 at 8 p.m. , Oct. 6 at 2 p.m.

The Tony Award-winning playwright of Angels in America projects a phantasmagoric world of broken promises and shattered dreams in Ansky's turn-of-the-century tale of a bride's spiritual possession by her deceased true love. Regarded as a cornerstone of Yiddish Drama, this play is presented in conjunction with the celebration of the opening of the Vanderbilt Hillel and the Ben Schulman Center for Jewish Life.

Racing Demon

By David Hare

Nov. 8, 9, 14, 15, 16 at 8 p.m., Nov. 10 at 2 p.m.

Sacrifice, betrayal, and intrigue surface when a young, evangelical curate conspires to destroy an established, humanistic clergyman. Winner of four major British playwriting awards, Hare's provocative drama examines the power politics that undermine the Church of England's efforts to reverse its dwindling congregations and regain a relevant connection to ordinary people's lives.

Our Town

By Thornton Wilder

Feb. 14, 15, 20, 21, 22 at 8 p.m., Feb. 16 at 2 p.m.

Now an American classic, this Pulitzer prize-winning play offers a compassionate and humorous look at life in America at the turn of the twentieth century. Wilder's universal portrait of human existence continues to touch us with its honest depiction of both the pain and celebration of day-to-day living. We are honored to have Delbert Mann, Academy Award-winning film and television director and founder of the Fred Coe Artist-in-Residence Program, direct this production.
