The Amateurs by Jordan Harrison
directed by Gina Kaufmann, assisted by Ezekiel Baskin
June 13 – June 22 at Hampshire College Theater
In this Pulitzer Prize finalist, a rag-tag theater troupe races across medieval Europe, struggling to outrun the Black Death. Their performances of crowd-pleasers such as “The Seven Deadly Sins” and “Noah’s Ark” are juxtaposed with witty, contemporary-feeling relationships, surprising sexual attractions and status games. The Amateurs examines the value of art and creativity in the face of an epic crisis.
The Comeuppance by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins
directed by Cordelia Winter Dwyer
July 18 – July 27 at Hampshire College Theater
From Tony and Obie award-winning playwright Branden Jacobs-Jenkins (An Octaroon, Gloria, Appropriate), this electrifying comedy is a meditation on impermanence, nostalgia, and isolation. Fueled by adult jungle juice and pot, five former high school classmates who call themselves “The Multi-Ethnic Reject Group” swap memories and confront past resentments at an unforgettable porch pre-party to their 20-year reunion.
