Tom Stoppard's Arcadia, Directed by Robert Estes
From its first line, "what is carnal embrace?," Arcadia brilliantly intermixes sex, mathematics, romance and landscape architecture in a contemporary comic drama that deftly travels from today's England back to the time of the wild poet Lord Byron. All in pursuit of desire--desire for love, desire for fame, and the desire for simply knowing how it all turns out. Part mystery, part history - all engrossing intrigue. Filled with Stoppard's shining wit and darting intelligence, Arcadia is considered one of the greatest plays written in the last twenty years.
With Paul Stout as Septimus Hodge, sterling newcomer Alona Bach as Thomasina Coverly, Christopher Kelly as Bernard Nightingale, Rachel Ferensowicz as Chloe Coverly, Aaron Lindstrom as Valentine Coverly, and Jody Christian as Hannah Jarvis.
Fridays and Saturdays 8 p.m.
Sunday matinee Feb. 12th at 2 p.m.

In Annie Baker's comedy its Body Awareness Week on a small Vermont college campus and feminist professor Phyllis and her partner, Joyce, are hosting a guest artist in their home, a male photographer who specializes in female nudes. The couple is already going through a rough patch as they try to counsel Joyces 21-year old son, Jared, an amateur lexicographer with a fondness for the OED and racy pay-per-view, who they believe suffers from Aspergers Syndrome. When their guest arrives, both his presence and his chosen subject matter instigate a new level of discomfort. Challenging how we see ourselves and thus define ourselves, "Body Awareness" examines the mutability of relationships and how fragile people become when they are confronted by the unexpected. Joy Carlin directs. Featuring Amy Resnick , Jeri Lynn Cohen , Howard Swain , and Patrick Russell.
