The Anger in
Ernest & Ernestine
By Leah Cherniak, Robert Morgan and Martha Ross

Directed by Linda Balduzzi

Arts Court Theatre,
2 Daly Avenue
(Corner of Daly & Nicholas)

Ernest and Ernestine fall in love.
Ernest and Ernestine marry in haste.
Ernest and Ernestine live in a basement.
Ernest and Ernestine drive each other crazy!

Ernest and Ernestine fall in love swiftly and marry in haste. Their love sustains as they begin married life in a cramped basement apartment. Each partner, however, possesses little quirks that drive their spouse progressively crazy. Rather than repent their rashness in a swift union, they allow embers of resentment to ignite into anger which burns brighter and hotter. This fire festers until the two, still genuinely and deeply in love, are literally prepared to assassinate each other.

Award winning playwright Christopher Durang’s inspired and insightful comedy follows a recently deceased “Miss Witherspoon” struggling with the challenges of reincarnation and the universal quest for enlightenment.

Nominated for a 2006 Pulitzer Prize, Miss Witherspoon delights with its intelligent satire, brilliant comedy and fearless search to find the meaning of life.

OLEANNA
By David Mamet
Directed by Greg Wysynski

Starring
Paul Griffin & Laura Braslins

Arts Court Theatre,
2 Daly Avenue
(Corner of Daly & Nicholas)

Assistant Director Marsha Awwad
Lighting Design by Phil Genest

Costume Design by Donna Bourgeault

What starts out as a seemingly ordinary meeting between a University professor and a student becomes an intense fight for survival in a world where no one is right and everyone has too much to lose. One small office becomes a battleground between the sexes where a hidden war we refuse to acknowledge threatens to destroy all the participants.

Considered one of the finest playwrights of contemporary theatre, David Mamet uses his prodigious talent to deconstruct and rethink the most controversial and frustrating issues of our time. Bristling with his trademark high-energy dialogue, cutting wit and uncanny insight in the human condition, Oleanna shatters the myths and accepted truths of sexual harassment and political correctness.
