Black Tie
by A. R. Gurney

Co-sponsored by Chronogram Magazine, Mayo Consulting, and Hudson Real American Whiskey 

Black Tie is one of this prolific writer's most enjoyable plays in years - The New York Times

 

Father of the groom, Curtis, simply wants to make a memorable toast. But before he is able to raise his glass, he must defend the time-honored ways of his past, including his attire. Cultures clash when a surprise guest is announced, threatening to throw convention out the window. Curtis finds that balancing the standards of his late father and the needs of his future family may prove too messy for a black tie affair.

 

Directed by Christine Crawfis

Featuring Paul Coleman, Zsuzsa Manna, William Connors, Rich Hack and Janet Nurre.

Hudson Valley Premiere
The Language Archive
by Julia Cho

  

Co-sponsored by Chronogram Magazine, Mayo Consulting, and Hudson Real American Whiskey

  

Winner of the 2010 Susan Blackburn Prize

George is a brilliant linguist, consumed with preserving and documenting dying languages. But at home, he cannot find the words that will preserve his disintegrating marriage. His archival assistant is mute with adoration for him; and his newest subjects, an elderly couple who are the last speakers of an obscure language, refuse to utter a word to one another.    

 

Cho's magical prize-winning comedy, loaded with life's contradictions - love and loss, happiness and pain, endings and beginnings - asks whether love is a universal language or, like Esperanto, just a well-intentioned dream.  

 

Directed by Christine Crawfis

 

Featuring Rich Hack, Zsuzsa Manna, Douglas Woolley, Molly Parker-Myers, Janet Nurre, Cate Olson, and Jeffrey Battersby
