Nixon’s Nixon
by Russell Lees
Directed by Rebecca Taylor
(Regional Premiere)
It
is the night before President Nixon is to announce his resignation,
and he has summoned Henry Kissinger. Nixon is willing to concoct
any twisted plot to stay in office. Kissinger wants him to
go. As the two of them discuss options, they revisit the climatic
events of their administration and impersonate a dazzling array
of characters from Breshnev and Mao to Kennedy. This timely
political satire features outrageous comedy and a frightening
look at the inside of Presidential politics.
|
“…hilarious
as it is hair-raising… both a serious work of the
imagination and a fully realized political satire” –New
York Times |
“The
laughs come thick and fast throughout …Lee's lively
script makes this a thought-provoking, sparkling outing.” –BBC |

The
Gift of the Magi
by Robert Ruffin
Directed by Steven Breese
(VPT Original)
Set
in New York City and Charlottesville, Virginia in the early
1900’s, The Gift of the Magi is a holiday treat for
the entire family. Jim and Della are poor and desperate. The
rent is coming due and Christmas is on its way. It’s up to
a watch and a set of combs to make a miracle and remind them
that love is what makes the world go round. Back by popular
demand, this first-ever, full-length adaptation of O. Henry’s
classic American tale of love and giving is a delight for holiday
audiences from ages one to ninety-nine.
|
“…heartbreaking
poignancy…very entertaining.” –Portfolio
Weekly |
“…a
dramatic duet of tender romance.” –Hampton
Roads Magazine

FEBRUARY 11–MARCH 21, 2009
Full
Moon
Over Montmartre
by Billy Doswell
Directed
by Robert Ruffin
(Virginia Premiere)
Frank
and Sadie are perfectly in love. He’s just retired as
a professor of Shakespeare and she is entertaining dreams of
finally kissing him in Paris under the full moon of Montmarte.
Plane tickets are bought, the hotel is booked and then… This
Virginia Premiere by Richmond playwright Billy Doswell is a
powerful, bittersweet romantic tragedy about trust, betrayal
and the challenges of Alzheimer’s.
“… a
moving and poignant touch of reality that will likely tap
most of us
on the shoulder in the future…” –Backstage |
the
audience was transfixed… sat motionless…
finally stood and applauded the bare stage.” –Asheville
Citizen-Times

YODER BARN THEATRE
APRIL 8–MAY 16, 2009
Kuru
by Josh C. Manheimer
(Regional
Premiere)
What
happens when Dr. Arthur Roman’s research of a deadly
disease is interrupted by his mid-west sweetheart’s culinary
ambitions? Pandemonium breaks loose in Papua New Guinea. War
is proclaimed, a cooking school begun, a new Goddess is discovered
and a Nobel Prize hangs in the balance. This regional premiere
is a goofy spoof–just like Gary Larson’s The
Far Side come to life.
|
“Slick
one-liners and easy, culture-clash wackiness.” –The
Dallas Morning News |
“A
savage mix of humor and horror.” –Boston
Globe
