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

Sally Truman, Sam’s wife

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!

Into the Breeches!
By George Brant
Directed by Christine Crawfis

A laugh out loud comedy | Main Stage
Delicious celebration of love, art, and community.

That time-honored adage, “The Show Must Go On,” takes on new meaning in this endearing and moving comedy set at a small theater in Wappingers Falls, NY in 1942. With the actors and director off at war, a group of passionate women face the daunting challenge of preserving the theatre’s reputation for mounting outstanding Shakespearean productions. Crammed with laughs and an abundance of visual humor, their fierce determination and unbridled enthusiasm will have audiences cheering as they prove that art and community triumph, even in times of peril.

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