Katha and Ryu have become allergic to their 21st-century lives. After they meet a charismatic man from a community of 1950s re-enactors, they forsake cell phones and sushi for cigarettes and Tupperware parties. In this compulsively authentic world, Katha and Ryu are surprised by what their new neighbors - and they themselves - are willing to sacrifice for happiness.
"Maple and Vine" opens April 21st and plays Thursday to Sunday through May 7th. All Thursday shows begin at 7pm, Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm and Sunday matinees at 2pm.
“Buck — in the role of a woman who’s made a mastery of artifice — is harder to judge. Her Ellen is such an expert at pretending, that when she finally breaks down and tells her own story, Buck is either overacting – or Ellen is. It’s hard to tell, and damned if that uncertainty doesn’t make the whole story even more fascinating.”
“Terrific show and great cast. We are still taking about the depth of the message and the skill of the performers. Thanks for including this play in your season and for your high professional standards.”
