"Absurdist theater — and absurdity in general — resists easy definition, so these three plays about failed romance may not be a likely or logical match, but they add up to an experience greater than the sum of its parts in artistic director Tina Brock's delightfully clever production."

Ohio Impromptu by Samuel Beckett
Twin brothers Michael and Tomas Dura recall a story of solitude, loss, and vain attempts at comfort in Beckett's 1981 meditation about two halves of a single soul,
"As alike in appearance as possible."

Frenzy for Two, Or More by Eugéne Ionesco
The Philadelphia premiere of Eugene Ionesco's 1963 tragicomedy features Corinna Burns and Brian Adoff in a one-act tour de force as the man and a woman trapped in their house as an indeterminate war rages outside.

Wanda's Visit by Christopher Durang
Gerre Garrett brings the title character of Christopher Durang's comedy to life in the stage version of the 1986 teleplay written for the PBS comedy series Trying Times.
Chaos ensues when a high school flame on the run from the mob visits her since married boyfriend whose marriage is in desperate need of resuscitation,
brought to life by Corinna Burns and Bob Schmidt.
