For the final installment of its 5th milestone season, the Harbor Stage Company presents the New England Regional Premiere of The River. Performances begin Thursday, August 11th at the Harbor's iconic seaside theater and will play through Saturday, September 3rd.

The Harbor Stage Company, Cape Cod's artist-run theater by the sea, is very proud to welcome back the visionary writer, director, and tastemaker Brendan Hughes, for a one-night only presentation of his comic lecture, The Pizzicato Effect. Equal parts TED Talk, stand-up routine, and 21st-century tilting at windmills, the lecture deploys visual diagrams, intangible theories, and preposterous arcana in what Hughes describers as "a valiant attempt to double-click on the Universe".

The Harbor Stage Company continues its 5th season with the World Premiere of an original comedy by Harbor co-founder Brenda Withers. Set in an imagined province of 19th century Russia, The Kritik tells the story of a small-town writer struggling to turn in his first honest review. Originally commissioned by the Professional Actors Training Program at UNC Chapel Hill, the faux-period piece offers a spirited look at candor, corruption, and community.

Director Matt Bassett has a genuine hit on his hands, driven by hilarious performances featuring two actresses-Tia Shearer (Matt) and Katie Jeffries (Ben)-who bounce gleefully off of each other for a one-hour romp. Flying V has been around for a few years, folks, and if you haven't caught them in the act yet, it's high time you got acquainted.

The Harbor Stage Company, the artist-run ensemble on Cape Cod's Wellfleet Harbor, will open their fifth season of intrepid, live performance with Robert Kropf's fiery new version of August Strindberg's volatile classic, Miss Julie.

Finally Bostonians will have an answer to the question on everyone's mind: 'How did Matt Damon and Ben Affleck write the screenplay for Good Will Hunting?' It fell from the sky, of course!

In between, there's a plethora of performances and events lined up, including a Sideshow-produced rendition of Mindy Kaling and Brenda Withers' Matt & Ben, starring Jenna Pryor and Britt Byrd, directed by Patrick Kramer: a what-might-have-happened comedy that considers how the pair of Boston-bred bros created an Academy Award winning screenplay.

Sometimes it seems there is so much theater happening that it's difficult to keep track of it all. From personal experience, despite all the datebooks, smart phones, tablets, desktop computers and laptops...it's hard to keep everything straight in this wacky business of the show.
