SPANKY AND SPRY And THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST Among Counting Squares Theatre's 2009/10 Season

Counting Squares Theatre announces its 2009-2010 Season, “with reverence to the new, to the classics, and to ourselves.”

In Fall 2009 Counting Squares Theatre will present Ayla Harrison’s new play, Spanky and Spry. 

“Ever since their parents’ death Susanna Parks has held it together.  Her sister Spanky…hasn’t.  So when Spanky lands herself in a mental ward and falls for the effervescent lunatic Spry, sparks fly as she prepares to leave Susanna behind.  Suddenly the sister with all the answers has none.  In this new video-driven dark comedy two sisters’ worlds unravel, converge, pause and rewind as they try to find that place where crazy meets love.”

In Winter 2010 Counting Squares will present Oscar Wilde’s classic, The Importance of Being Earnest. 

“This masterpiece, arguably the most famous of all comedies, revolves wittily around the most ingenious case of “manufactured” mistaken identity ever put into a play.  In a world where people can invent their identities and be anything they want, this story speaks to both our generation as well as the current times.  “

In the Summer of 2010 Counting Squares will close the season with their 3rd Annual Devised Project. 

“For two years now, Counting Squares Theatre has taken source materials, analyzed them, and used the raw elements to write our own show.  In the past we have dealt with interpersonal relationships, religion, love and secrets.  Our unique perspective inspects the greater problem of how our community deals with a variety of issues.  Stay tuned for the exciting topic announcement!”

Throughout the year they will also be presenting our New Play Reading Series, which will consist of a series of readings and workshops of new plays.  Those titles will be announced in the fall.
Exact dates and casting will be announced at a later date.  All titles are subject to change.
