However, can their romance survive the sunlight?

Have You Seen Us?
A World Premiere by Athol Fugard
Directed by Gordon Edelstein
November 24- December 20, Mainstage
Christmas Eve. A diner in a Southern California strip mall. Henry Parsons, a professor and South African transplant comes in for his usual - a turkey sandwich and insulting banter with Adela, the Mexican-American waitress. The two creep toward a fragile understanding until Solly and Rachael, an eastern European Jewish couple, sit down to eat. The couple’s entrance forces Henry to a reckoning with the demons in his heart and, for a moment, unites four lost souls. Athol Fugard returns to Long Wharf Theatre, unrelenting in his search for our common humanity.


Lil's 90th
A World Premiere by Darci Picoult
January 6-February 7, Stage II
As Lillian nears a milestone birthday, she and her family put the finishing touches on the much-anticipated party at which she’ll make her singing debut. There’s a speech to be written, a band to rehearse and, of course, an outfit to choose. But then Lil’s husband Charlie’s secret gets out - the birthday surprise that he hoped would make her day may instead tear their lives apart. In Darci Picoult’s playful and poignant new play, when reason fails, it is the power of love that stands the test of aging.

Sylvia
By A. R. Gurney
Directed by Eric Ting
February 17-March 14, Mainstage
Sylvia, a lovable dog, would do anything for Greg. A constant companion, she loves him unconditionally and hangs on his every word. Greg would do anything for Sylvia, even staying home from work to spend time with her. Greg’s wife Kate, on the other hand, isn’t thrilled that Sylvia’s made herself so at home, let alone that she’s sleeping on Kate’s precious couch. Add the fact that Sylvia is played by a vivacious young woman and you view the relationship between a man and his best friend in a whole new way. A.R. Gurney, author of The Dining Room and The Cocktail Hour, charms with his comedy, which has been a hit in the United States and internationally.

No Child...
Written and performed by Nilaja Sun
Directed by Hal Brooks
March 17-April 18, Stage II
In her revelatory solo show, writer/performer Nilaja Sun draws from firsthand experience as a teaching artist in New York City’s public schools, portraying 16 characters in 70 minutes to illuminate the trials and triumphs within America’s education system. No one - teacher, student, janitor, principal or security guard - is left behind by Sun’s hilarious and heartbreaking expose, which has been a smash hit off Broadway and across the nation.

A Doll’s House
By Henrik Ibsen, Adapted by Gordon Edelstein
April 28, 2010-May 23, Mainstage
After years of facing financial challenges a suburban family is finally on its feet again. Dad has an important new job at an investment bank, the kids are doing well and Mom, at last, is able to make a home befitting her dreams. Unfortunately their financial resurrection is built on an illusion. Dad’s rise, unbeknownst to him, has been in large part illegally engineered by his wife Nora and the chickens are about to come home to roost. This world premiere adaptation casts Ibsen’s beloved, visceral drama in a contemporary light. A classic drama and a thrilling new work for 2010.
