*Advance Reservations Required*
HAILED as "a new adaptation for a new generation," this classic, true story comes to life in a major theatrical event.

Through the voice of one of the most beloved heroines of the 20th century, audiences experience the dreams and idealism of one amazing girl as she faces the most horrific evil of our times. The Diary of Anne Frank won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, the Tony Award® for Best Play and the Critics Circle Award.

THE COMPLETE WORKS OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (abridged)
By Adam Long, Daniel Singer & Jess Winfield
December 13, 18 & 20, 2007, 10:30 AM
*Advance Reservations Required*
THIS hilarious, breakneck comedy has three comedians making their way through all of the Bard's plays (and some sonnets, too!) in less than two hours. A wild frolic through the works of Shakespeare, you've never seen the classics performed like this. Complete with a hip-hop Othello, and the histories performed as a football game, this is Shakespeare for those who don't think they like Shakespeare — and especially for those who do! As London's longest-running comedy, The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) is chock-full of sight gags, physical humor and irreverent foolery.

ART
By Yasmina Reza, translated by Christopher Hampton
February 1 & 7, 2008, 10:30 AM
*Advance Reservations Required*
THIS contemporary comedy takes a scathing look at the bounds and bonds of male friendship. When Serge buys a piece of modern art for an outrageous sum, Marc finds himself driven mad by his friend's unfathomable act — and poor Yvan just hopes to keep them from tearing each other apart. One of the great plays of the last decade-an award winner in Paris, London, and New York — Art is a play that confronts the perplexing questions of friendship and taste. This play contains strong language.

THE PIANO LESSON
By August Wilson
April 17 & 24, 10:30 AM
*Advance Reservations Required*
ON THE HEELS of last season's blockbuster hit, Sam Cooke: Forever Mr. Soul, playwright and director Kevin Ramsey returns to Wilmington to help us present this masterpiece from the late August Wilson, one of the towering giants of American drama. This play, which won the Pulitzer Prize in 1990, is one of the pillars of Wilson's ten-play saga representing each decade of the African-American experience in the 20th century. In The Piano Lesson, the ghosts of slavery and family fight to the death in this mythic battle for a beloved piano, which represents both a reminder of the past and the opportunity of the future.
