Fri Nov 6 – Sat Nov 21
Lucas Hnath sets the young Isaac Newton against Robert Hooke in an argument about optics, ambition and whose name ends up on the discovery. Hnath writes it deliberately out of period, with a narrator stopping to mark which parts of it are true.
Fri Feb 19 – Sat Feb 27
Heidi Schreck's play, a finalist for the 2019 Pulitzer Prize, restages the American Legion debate contests she entered as a teenager to pay for college and follows the document's reach into the lives of four generations of women in her family. It closes with a live debate over whether the Constitution should be abolished. Demetra Tseckares directs the production, which is a fundraiser for Hovey.
Fri Apr 30 – Sat May 15
Lisa D'Amour's play, a finalist for the 2011 Pulitzer Prize, is set in a first-ring suburb outside "a city that might be Detroit," where Ben and Mary invite the couple who have just moved into the deserted house next door, Sharon and Kenny, over for a barbecue. The newcomers met at rehab, neither has a job, and they own no furniture. J. Mark Baumhardt directs.
