Enchanted April by Matthew Barber

Directed by Kate Donadio MacQueen

Out of Box Theatre, July 13-29

From the novel by Elizabeth von Arnim. Lost in dreary marriage and forgotten in 1920s post-war society, two London housewives join forces to rent a villa in Italy for a ladies-only holiday escape with two reluctant recruits. Things lost are soon found as the women clash, then begin to bond and bloom under the Mediterranean sun.

The Electric Baby by Stefanie Zadravec

Directed by Ibi Owolabi

7 Stages Theatre, September 14-30

When a tragic car accident kills a young man, a group of fractured souls find themselves drawn together by a dying baby who glows like the moon. Folklore and mystery spin a magical tale goodbyes, starting over, and the unlikely connections that redirect our lives.

The Weird Sisters will also be cultivating a Reading Series featuring new works, shorts works and works by local playwrights, the details of which will be announced at the gala following opening night of Enchanted April.
