The Quannapowitt Players' annual fundraiser, and the fifteenth of them: an evening of short holiday plays written new for the occasion each year rather than carried over. The company has run it as the opening of its holiday season since 2011, in its own house on Hopkins Street in Reading.
Fri Jan 15 – Sat Jan 30
A routine council meeting in the town of Big Cherry turns into something else when a new member starts asking what happened at the meeting before. Tracy Letts's comedy is about the story a community tells about itself, and how far it will go to defend that version.
Fri Mar 12 – Sat Mar 27
MT Cozzola's whodunit gathers six ambitious women at a secluded mountain retreat to write their masterpieces, until one of them meets a mysterious end and the manuscripts give way to alibis. As a relentless inspector digs for the truth, each writer shields her own secrets and has to face her deepest desires and the ties of love, art and community that bind the group. Mary Ellen Macri directs.
Fri May 14 – Sat May 29
A couple in their seventies calmly announce their divorce after fifty years, and their grown sons take it a great deal harder than they do. Bess Wohl writes the parents as people with interior lives their children never troubled to imagine.
