Perfect Arrangement
By Topher Payne
Directed by Sydnie Grosberg Ronga

A comic tale of closeted lives.
Contemporary Comedy | Main Stage

It’s 1950, and new colors are being added to the Red Scare. Two U.S. State Department employees, Bob and Norma, have been tasked with identifying sexual deviants within their ranks. There’s just one problem: both Bob and Norma are involved in a carefully constructed cover-up.

Inspired by the true story of the earliest stirrings of the gay rights movement, Perfect Arrangement merges madcap sitcom-style laughs with provocative drama as two U.S. State Department employees struggle to maintain their cover – and their sanity – in mid-century America.

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

MARJORIE PRIME
By Jordan Harrison
Directed by Cynthia Topps

A science fiction thriller | CP2 Mini Festival
Clever in concept, alive with humor, and terribly haunting.

It’s the age of artificial intelligence, and 85-year-old Marjorie — a jumble of, fading memories — has a handsome new companion who’s programmed to feed the story of her life back to her. What would we remember, and what would we forget, if given the chance? In this richly spare play, Jordan Harrison explores the mysteries of human identity.
