An Experiment with an Air Pump
Where: Reston Community Players
Date: 2008-01-18 20:00:00

By Shelagh Stephenson. Directed by Adam Konowe. Inspired by a 1767 painting by Joseph Wright, An Experiment with an Air Pump is a daring and darkly humorous play about the past and future of science and society, as it addresses such provocative concerns as medical ethics, passion versus love, the evolving role of women, and the aims of science at the dawning of two eras nearly 200 years apart. Using the turns of two centuries—one heralding the birth of the Industrial Age (1799), the other the age of biotechnology (1999)—to juxtapose ethical quandaries and bring a fascinating insight into the moral dilemmas that accompany scientific progress, Experiment suggests that while the machinery may have advanced, human impulses have changed not one whit. Advisory: An Experiment with an Air Pump contains strong language and mature content.

Urinetown, the Musical
Where: Reston Community Players

Music and lyrics by Mark Hollman. Book and lyrics by Greg Kotis. Directed by Andrew JM Regiec. One of the most distinctive, intelligent, and jubilant experiences in recent years, Urinetown, the Musical is a winking love letter to the conventions of musical theater—an untempered satire where no one is safe from scrutiny. In a world wracked by ecological disasters, a single malevolent company profits by charging admission fees for one of humanity's most basic needs. A tale of greed, corruption, love, and revolution in a time when water is worth its weight in gold—complete with a hero named Bobby Strong and a heroine named Hope. Nominated for ten Tony Awards, and winner of the Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards for Best Musical, Urinetown has been praised for reinvigorating the notion of what a musical can be, catapulting the comedic romp into the new millennium with its wickedly modern wit and ability to produce unbridled laughter.

Bus Stop

By William Inge. Directed by Chuck Dluhy. Join us at the little roadside restaurant on a wintry night in Kansas as we serve up this timeless American classic from 1955. Come in from the snowstorm and meet the people that you already know and love: Cherie the nightclub singer who is trying to run away from Bo, the brash, lovestruck cowboy; Grace, the hilarious but lonely proprietor of the cafe who finds comfort in the arms of Carl, the bus driver; the middle-aged scholar, Dr. Lyman, who must come to terms with himself; and Elma, the teenager who just might be experiencing her first romance. Virgil, Bo's friend and mentor, and Will, the sheriff, try to keep things in order as tensions fly and love blossoms. Love and friendship are on the menu as we visit a simpler time in the heartland, where life ambles along and love conquers all. "Inge brings to the theatre a warm-hearted compassion, creative vigor, and appreciation of average humanity that can be wonderfully touching and stimulating."—New York Post
