"Poignant, heartbreaking and wry...the emotions are so genuine we can't help but be deeply affected." - Newsweek
In the space of a single year, acclaimed author Joan Didion experienced the sudden and unexpected loss of her husband while watching her only daughter become ever more gravely ill. Based on her National Book Award-winning memoir, The Year of Magical Thinking is a remarkable story of loss, grief, and renewal that explores our capacity to emerge strengthened from even the most shattering of life's trials.

"...the satirical thrusts of Tartuffe are both perennially fresh and perennially relevant..." - The Wall Street Journal
Orgon has fallen under Tartuffe's spell, the most saintly man he's ever known. But Orgon's family believes Tartuffe a fraud, out to steal his wealth, bed his wife, and wed his daughter. Will Orgon come to his senses before it's too late? The stage is set for a battle of wills in a wickedly funny and farcical take on the outer limits of hypocrisy that has entertained audiences for centuries.
