CRIME AND PUNISHMENT

by Marilyn Campbell & Curt Columbus from the novel by Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Directed by Deidra LaWan Starnes

January 28-February 21, 2027

This taut, award-winning adaptation of Dostoyevsky’s literary masterpiece delves into the mind of troubled student Raskolnikov – emboldened to commit a horrible crime, believing himself superior and above the law. Campbell and Columbus force us to have a “conversation on the nature of evil” and the search for redemption – if it is even possible. Told by three actors in a thrilling 90 minutes, the audience becomes another character in this psychological and spiritual journey which seeks to unveil hidden dimensions of the human condition.

“REMARKABLY ABSORBING” – The New York Times

“…this adaptation…reminds us how THRILLING a classic can be” – AISLE SAY Chicago

“STUNNINGLY LEAN, TAUT AND EMOTIONALLY SEARING” – Chicago Sun-Times

JITTA’S ATONEMENT

by Siegfried Trebitsch, translated & adapted by George Bernard Shaw

Directed by Bill Largess

April 8 – May 2, 2027

A rarity from the pen of George Bernard Shaw, his very free adaptation of a juicy German potboiler. As a mea culpa for having an affair with his wife, Jitta’s lover (her husband’s colleague) asks that her husband take possession of his final book and publish it under his own name. At first reluctant, he eventually agrees to edit and publish the book, as he knows his anger over his wife’s infidelity cannot last forever. A tragic tale transformed into a tragicomedy bursting with Shavian wit; it’ll be hard to look away.

“it is a piece of HIGH COMEDY that gets better and more Shavian as it proceeds… flying high with delicious confrontations. FULL OF TRIUMPHANT HUMOR AND PSYCHOLOGICAL TRUTH.” – Variety

“Jitta’s dilemma and heartbreak moves towards its inevitable conclusion along a trail of SHAW-INDUCED LAUGHTER” – CurtainUp
