Throughline Theatre Company Presents Suspenseful and Trenchant Thriller YANKEE TAVERN

Things seem to going great for Adam and Janet. They are preparing to get married, they run a bar, and they enjoy listening to their friend, Ray, share crazy conspiracy theories. But are all these conspiracy theories really crazy? With the entrance of a mysterious character named Palmer, Adam and Janet are soon caught in a web of danger and unanswered questions.

Yankee Tavern premiered at Florida Stage in 2009 and has been produced by numerous regional companies. Playwright Steven Dietz has written such widely performed works as God's Country, Private Eyes, The Nina Variations, Sherlock Holmes: The Final Adventure, and an acclaimed adaptation of Dracula. Dietz has directed for many leading regional companies, including City Theatre Company, Actor's Theatre of Louisville, and Seattle Repertory Theatre.
