Memories are fragile, powerful and poignant. They recall promises from earlier times, hold the specter of wounds left unhealed, and have the ability to direct the course of one's life, as shown in Stacey Lane's comedy-drama A THOUSAND VARIATIONS ON A LIE TOLD ONCE. Directed by Brad Fryman and presented by the Oberon Theatre Ensemble, A THOUSAND VARIATIONS will begin performances on July 19th at the Dorothy Strelsin Theatre, located at 312 West 36th Street, as part of the Ninth Annual Midtown International Theatre Festival.

The Oberon Theatre Ensemble will present their annual winter show Winter Rep 08. This year the company presents Shakespeare's classic tragedy Macbeth in rep with Michael Weller's Ghost on Fire. Performances begin on February 14th at Theatre Row (410 West 42nd Street).

If this 1969 Tennessee Williams play is not exactly a great work that was underappreciated in its time, The White Horse Theater Company's new production certainly reveals it to be an interesting curiosity.
