GREATER THINGS | December 3, 2024 | 7:00 PM
Saint James Place
352 Main Street, Great Barrington, MA
Written by Andy Reynolds, directed by Liam Castellan
In the midst of a blinding snowstorm, Otto appears unexpectedly on the doorstep of his oldest friend (and former boyfriend) Marsh, who has relocated to northern Vermont with his husband to escape a complicated life in New York City, where Marsh and Otto spent the early nineties on the periphery of the downtown “club kid” scene. Over the course of one night, Otto and Marsh reconnect to examine the past decisions that led them to their present circumstances. Is it too late for them to find greater things for their future?
full transparency | December 10, 2024
Written by Max Rissman
In "Full Transparency," Max Rissman explores the consequences of a world where it is both possible and socially normalized for people to have unfiltered access to each other's inner thoughts. As we follow an interconnected web of characters, we see how this technology profoundly affects various relationships across society. The play grapples with the complex ethical and social implications of such unprecedented transparency, inviting the audience to reflect on the potential upsides and downsides of being able to read one another's minds.
