2019-2020 Season

"Medea"

World Premiere of a Original Adaptation

Book by Christina Hurtado Pierson & Emma Canalese

Music by Mark Bader

Based on a play by Euripides

Directed by Virginia Monte

At the Avyarium Theatre

October 17 - October 27, 2019

When Jason announces he is leaving his wife and two young children for another woman, Medea is forced to confront how alone she truly is. This modern re-telling of "Medea" explores the isolation of modern motherhood, and the physical and psychological tolls that can push a woman to her breaking point.

A unique take on one of theatre's oldest tragic plays, this production represents WallByrd's first venture into the realm of new play development.

"The Merry Wives of Windsor"

by William Shakespeare

Directed By Virginia Monte

Light on luck (and money), John Falstaff sets his sights on two wealthy housewives with plans to seduce his way out of debt and into the lap of luxury.Unfortunately for him, these two witty wives of Windsor may be more than he bargained for. Mayhem and laughter abound as Falstaff is launched into a mess of his own making, filled to the brim with petty squabbles, jealous spouses, biting banter, and all of it orchestrated by two clever country ladies.

"Dear Brutus"

by J.M. Barrie

Directed/Designed by Virginia Monte

At the Avyarium Theatre

April 30 - May 10

In the summer of 1917, eight strangers are invited to a country estate and treated to an evening of secrets, surprises, and intriguing tales of midsummer madness.When a mysterious woods springs up outside the sitting room window, the guests become seduced by a magic that could grant their innermost desires. But wishes are dangerous things, and the company soon finds themselves drowning in a sea of possibilities; lost and unable to find a way back to where (and who) they were before.
