Ahoy!

Contemporary Classics Theatre reimagines classic Western plays through a diverse, contemporary lens. We connect today’s artists and audiences with timeless stories.

"The Verge" by Susan Glaspell
Directed by Cait Cortelyou

Performances Jan 23 - Feb 8

Fridays and Saturdays @ 8PM

Sundays @ 3PM

Set in a greenhouse/laboratory, botanist Claire Archer attempts to transcend the constraints of modern life through the breeding of new plants, despite a literal Tom, Dick, and Harry trying to stop her. As the blossoming of her latest creation approaches, her sanity is called into question and tensions around her unique way of life explode. A piece that is by turns devastating philosophical portraiture, droll farce, and scathing feminist cry, The Verge comes together in a pressure cooker analysis of prescribed womanhood.
