Set on the beachside deck of a house on Fire Island during the 1990 Fourth of July weekend, McNally’s story imagines a gathering between two mismatched couples. Debate, discussion, and disclosure (including secrets, a mystery, and an affair) follow.

Lips Together, Teeth Apart is presented by special arrangement with Broadway Licensing, LLC, servicing the
Dramatists Play Service collection. dramatists.com

“Two straight couples — sister and brother Chloe and Sam, and their spouses John and Sally, spend the Fourth of July at a beachside home on Fire Island. Sally inherited the house from her late gay brother, and the four spend the holiday surrounded by friendly, partying gay neighbors on either side. The four characters reveal — through quick, funny, heartbreaking dialogue and intensely personal monologues — that they are essentially completely alone with their pain. It’s a grimly funny examination of marriage, hopes and dreams, and of life in the presence of death.”

Characters

John Haddock, head of admissions at a boy’s prep school

Chloe Haddock, John’s wife, Sam’s older sister

Sam Truman, self-employed businessman

THEATRE WORKSHOP – Stage Management Fundamentals – 3/22

THEATRE WORKSHOP

March 22, 2025 (10 – 4) – Stage Management Fundamentals

Stage managers are rarely seen by the audience, but they work with a show from beginning to end. Their responsibilities range from safeguarding the actors and crew members, to interpreting and implementing the director’s and designers’ vision, to being the central communications hub of an entire production, all while managing the various personalities involved at every level.

Every stage manager approaches their job differently, and the best way to learn the ways that work is to ask stage managers who have been there! Join us for a morning of panel discussion with stage managers from various organizations followed by an afternoon of practical exercises and participatory discussion. From initial contact to the final curtain call and strike, you will learn about the tools and conventions from those who have done it. Whether you are considering stage managing or just want a better understanding of how this role fits into a production, this is a great opportunity to step backstage and learn more about how a show comes together!

CP2 Readers Theatre Weekend – March 7 – 9 – WITCH and THE BURDENS

MARCH 7 & 8, 2025
Fri 8pm & Sat 2pm

WITCH
By Jen Silverman
Directed by Kit Colbourn

A fable for our times | CP2 Mini Festival
Utterly spellbinding.

A charming devil arrives in a quiet village to bargain for the souls of its residents.Elizabeth should be his easiest target, having been labeled a “witch,” but her soul is not so easily bought. Unexpected passions flare, alliances are formed, and the village is forever changed. An inventive retelling of a Jacobean drama, this sharp, subversive fable debates how much our souls are worth when hope is hard to come by.

Witch is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. concordtheatricals.com

MARCH 8 & 9, 2025
Sat 8pm & Sun 2pm

THE BURDENS
By Matt Schatz
Directed by Matt Andrews

Dark, family comedy | CP2 Mini Festival
A contemporary play with multi-generational themes and a wicked sense of humor.

*This production contains strong language*

Adult siblings Mordy and Jane have a problem. Their centenarian grandfather is an emotional and financial burden on the family, and he just won’t die. Scheming almost entirely via text messages, the siblings hatch an outrageous plan to relieve themselves of their family’s burdens and their own.

The Burdens is presented through special arrangement with TRW Plays. trwplays.com
