Painting it Red...

Past Production - September / October 2006
by Steven Dietz
Music by Gary Rue
Lyrics by Leslie Ball

Directed by Sondra Baker
Sponsored by Avanta Federal Credit Union

We embark on a journey this season unlike any we have ever taken, the exploration of one playwright's work. Steven Dietz is one of the best playwrights you've never heard of. His plays are wildly eclectic while maintaining a strong sense of individual style. His themes are universal and his characters exhibit a depth and vulnerability not always found in contemporary drama.

We are grateful to Steven Dietz for being part of the project by attending the opening of our season.
