Across the lake is Ravenswood, another facility, where the arch rival of Dr. Pepper, Dr. Toynbee, approaches cures with a much sharper and straight jacketed fervor.

Award recipients of the 2009-10 Heck Rabi Playwright Competition

All Kinds of Men by Erman Jones, 1st Prize

       Wendy Write is trying to get through to her straight-edged parents. It's time she was treated as an adult and allowed to pursue her own dreams. In a hilarious misadventure she stumbles on the one act of rebellion that actually brings her closer to her parents than she ever thought possible. Be careful what you bring out of the closet, you may never get it back in.


Easy as Hard Can Be by Alan Ball, 2nd Prize


Furnishings by Gregory Bailey, 3rd Prize


March 25-27 and April 1-3, 2010

Night Scales (A Fable for Klara K)
Written by Chris Tysh
Directed by Aku Kadogo
April 22-24 and April 29-May 1

Focused on the events of World War II, this poetic play tracks its heroine, K, as she goes through the minedterrain of Eastern Europe, death at her heels. With its shadows and lacerated memory, this polyphonic text unleashes a collective voice which is both story and song.
