THE REAL THING
by Tom Stoppard
Directed by Brooke Ciardelli ††

February 16 - March 6, 2011

When is love "the real thing?" In this love story with the unmistakable Tom Stoppard touch, a playwright's world is turned upside down when the witty lines he writes can't help him outside of the theater. Art and real life mix and mingle in this fascinating and very funny look at the relationship between men and women in the modern day.

Production Stage Managers: Becky Lynn Dawson* & Iris O'Brien*

Set Design: Michael Locher
Lighting Design: Brian Tovar
Costume Design: Collette Benoit
