2012-2013 Season of Plays and the all new @Art Square Theatre

Season begins on October 26, 2012.

Mineola Twins
by Paula Vogel
directed by Joe Hynes
A comedy in six scenes, four dreams and seven wigs. Myrna and Myra, almost identical twins (played by the one actress), battle each other through the Eisenhower, Nixon and Reagan/Bush years over virginity, Vietnam and Family Values. [October 26–November 18]

Love Song
by John Kolvenbach
directed by Erik Amblad
Beane is an exile from life—an oddball. His well-meaning sister, Joan, and brother-in-law, Harry, try and make time for him in their busy lives, but no one can get through. Following a burglary on Beane's apartment, Joan is baffled to find her brother blissfully happy and tries to unravel the story behind his mysterious new love, Molly. Funny, enchanting and wonderfully touching, John Kolvenbach's offbeat comedy is a rhapsody to the power of love in all its forms. [December 7–December 23]

Gruesome Playground Injuries
by Rajiv Joseph
directed by Levi Fackrell
Over the course of 30 years, the lives of Kayleen and Doug intersect at the most bizarre intervals, leading the two childhood friends to compare scars and the physical calamities that keep drawing them together. [January 26–February 17]

You May Go Now
by Bekah Brunsetter
Dottie has trained young Betty to be the perfect 1950s housewife; to cook the perfect pot roast, to bake a gorgeous seven-layer cake, to remove any stain. And tonight, Betty’s 18th birthday, it is time for Betty to go out into the world. Only Dottie has failed to mention that the year is 2007, that the world is a vast and complex place, and that there is a reason she cannot abide being called 'Mother'. [March 15 – April 7]

Death of a Salesman
by Arthur Miller
directed by Troy Heard
A small parable about a large idea: the promise and death of the American Dream. A play that most people only know from a classroom textbook, "Death of a Salesman" is a tale that resonates as loud today as when it premiered in 1949. [April 26–May 19]

As we settle into our new home downtown and embrace our neighbors new and old, we embrace our roots with this season: a commitment to new and to neglected works. We face our future exploring both very new plays and also very new perspectives on plays forgotten.
