Typhoid Mary
2023-04-02 14:30 - 15:30, 2023-04-01 19:30 - 20:30, 2023-04-01 14:30 - 15:30, 2023-03-31 19:30 - 20:30
Next up for our 2023 season is this new script, particularly apt in the era of Covid. “Typhoid Mary” by Tom Horan Directed by Tony Pallone on March 31-April 2, 2023.
Many people have heard of Typhoid Mary, who was believed to have infected between 51 to 122 people with typhoid fever. Less familiar is Mary Mallon, born in 1869, the cook behind the name, who was a feisty, vulgar, yet deeply religious Irish immigrant. This quirky, anachronistic telling of the discovery of Mary’s peculiar disease as well as her forced quarantine, unfolds in front of a backdrop of changing notions of medicine, morality and cleanliness. Did she willfully infect others? Was she a victim of a misguided medical authority? Or is the truth even stranger?

Come and support our cast of young actors as they perform Puffs, or Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic!
For seven years a certain boy wizard went to a certain Wizard School and conquered evil. This, however, is not his story. This is the story of the Puffs… who just happened to be there too. A tale for anyone who has never been destined to save the world.
The New York Times proclaims PUFFS, “A FAST-PACED ROMP through the ‘Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic.’ For POTTERphiliacs who grew up alongside Potter and are eager to revisit that world, ‘PUFFS’ exudes a jovial, winking fondness for all things Harry!”
This clever and inventive play “never goes more than a minute without a laugh” (Nerdist) giving you a new look at a familiar adventure from the perspective of three potential heroes just trying to make it through a magic school that proves to be very dangerous for children. Alongside them are the Puffs, a group of well-meaning, loyal outsiders with a thing for badgers “who are so lovable and relatable, you’ll leave the theater wishing they were in the stories all along” (Hollywood Life). Their “hilariously heartfelt!” (Metro) and epic journey takes the classic story to new places and reimagines what a boy wizard hero can be.
Masks are required. Tickets can be bought at the door.
Directed by Eleah Peal.
