HERE LIES HONESTY by Amanda Goodwin
Directed by Amanda Goodwin
A two Act play chronicling a Manhattan dinner party that starts out good-natured and civil, it turns unexpectedly dark, as alcohol-fueled party guests eschew their mantles of reserve, turning quick-witting sparing into full-fledged skewering, as secrets are uncovered.

New Works Project Staged Reading: THIS COULD BE PARADISE, By Sara Jo Breslow
Directed by Patricia Duff
The Skagit River Valley of northwest Washington State is home to some of the last best salmon runs in the lower forty-eight, and some of the richest farmland in the world. But trying to save both fish and farms in a time of rapid social and environmental change has plunged local communities into decades of disputes. Based on real interview excerpts, This Could Be Paradise imagines the drama that might unfold when the voices of Native Americans, farmers, and environmentalists—and the anthropologist trying to understand them—are brought into unexpected conversation as they struggle to protect their shared valley.

THE CARETAKER, by Harold Pinter
Directed by Dan Christiaens & Robert Sindelar
Aston asks down-and-out Davies to be a live-in caretaker. Davies leaps at the chance to change his fortunes, but the trouble is he doesn’t know what a caretaker should do, especially in a room filled with junk. When Aston’s manipulative brother Mick shows up, the power struggle begins. Why does Aston collect all this stuff? Will Davies ever get a pair of decent shoes? And who will fix the drip in the ceiling? A play about the fragile balance of trust and betrayal in family relationships takes place in a single room of a house and explores themes of loneliness, isolation, and the absurdity of modern society.

PASTURE-IZED, A Musical In Two Acts
Book by Ken Merrell
Music by Eileen Soskin
Lyrics by Ken Merrell and Eileen Soskin
Directed by Ken Merrell
Musical Direction by Karen Heather
When Broadway Producer/Director, Jerry Hardwick, suffers a stress-related heart attack, his well-meaning family convinces him to give up show business and retire to sleepy, low-key, Whidbey Island. Everything looks like it’s going to plan when the theater bug bites Jerry again, and instead of moving into the cushy retirement community his kids have all set up, he buys a tumble-down community theater and goes back into production mode. Romance, greedy heirs, lost wills, theatre, art, a ghost, and quantum mechanics all converge in this musical commentary on not exiting stage right just because someone else has decided it’s your cue.
