It took Mr(s). Banks's drama class three long months to prepare for their monologue show . . . but barely a minute to throw all their plans out the window.

Hedda Gabler focusses on the frustrated existence of its title character, exploring core issues of power, control, and social expectation.

Squabbles by Marshall Karp
Directed by Doug Davis
Produced by Teresa Otis-Skelton
Performance Dates: March 18 - 28, 2021
Auditions: January 2021
This hilarious play pits a father in law against a mother in a comedic succession of squabbles. Jerry Sloan is a successful writer of advertising jingles married to an equally successful lawyer. Living with the happy couple is the not so happy Abe Dreyfus, Jerry's curmudgeon of a father in law. Abe is a funny guy to the audience, not to Jerry. The situation is exacerbated when Jerry's mother Mildred looses her house in a fire and needs a place to stay. Abe and Mildred can't stand each other. This play is one hilarious confrontation after another until the heart warming finale in which the oldsters discover that, really, each is not so bad.
Silent Sky by Lauren Gunderson
Directed by Max McCreary
Produced by Jen Otterman & Thom Johnson
Performance Dates: May 6 - 16, 2021
Auditions: March 2021
When Henrietta Leavitt begins work at the Harvard Observatory in the early 1900s, she isn’t allowed to touch a telescope or express an original idea. Instead, she joins a group of women “computers,” charting the stars for a renowned astronomer who calculates projects in “girl hours” and has no time for the women’s probing theories. As Henrietta, in her free time, attempts to measure the light and distance of stars, she must also take measure of her life on Earth, trying to balance her dedication to science with family obligations and the possibility of love. The true story of 19th-century astronomer Henrietta Leavitt explores a woman’s place in society during a time of immense scientific discoveries, when women’s ideas were dismissed until men claimed credit for them. Social progress, like scientific progress, can be hard to see when one is trapped among earthly complications; Henrietta Leavitt and her female peers believe in both, and their dedication changed the way we understand both the heavens and Earth.
