Rapture, Blister, Burn by Gina Gionfriddo
September 15 – October 8, 2016
After grad school, Catherine and Gwen chose polar opposite paths. Catherine built a career as a rock-star academic, while Gwen built a home with her husband and children. Decades later, unfulfilled in completely opposite ways, each woman covets the other’s life, commencing a dangerous game of musical chairs—the prize being Gwen’s husband. With searing insight and trademark wit, this comedy is an unflinching look at gender politics in the wake of 20th century feminist ideals. “Thoughtful, funny…One of the top ten plays of 2012.” - Entertainment Weekly

Luna Gale by Rebecca Gilman
January 12 – February 4, 2017
Caroline, a veteran social worker, thinks she has a typical case on her hands when she meets Peter and Karlie, two teenage drug addicts accused of neglecting their baby. But when she places their infant daughter in the care of Karlie’s mother, Caroline sparks a family conflict that exposes a shadowy, secretive past—and forces her to make a risky decision with potentially disastrous consequences. Powerful and arresting, Luna Gale is a heartbreaking and unforgettable tale of love and betrayal.
“Smart and absorbing.” - The New York Times
Performances for Luna Gale are at RVA Event Space, 7 E. 3rd Street in RVA’s Manchester District. Talkbacks will follow select performances. Tickets are $28 (Students - $15; group rates available) and can be purchased by visiting www.5thWallTheatre.org.
