Educating Rita
An English Comedy
by Willy Russell
directed by Eleanor Holdridge
October 17 – November 7, 2010
Live and learn.
Rita is street smart, a twenty-something hairdresser with a passion for more. Frank is disillusioned, a down-on-his-luck professor driven to drink. Rita is brash. Frank is burnt out. But as Frank tutors Rita for her exams, their lessons teach them things they never expected about their own lives. Thirty years after it took the world by storm, Triad Stage celebrates Russell’s delightful comedy of ideas. Part Pygmalion, part Working Girl, this is the story of two unforgettable characters with the courage to learn.
“A marvelous play...funny and passionately serious; a hilarious social commentary; a fairy tale...”

ReEntry
Nov 10 - Dec 19
Inspirational, honest, even heartwarming; frank, funny, and long overdue. This surprising and acclaimed new play, based on interviews with veterans and their families, puts aside politics and Hollywood alike to probe the unvarnished, and powerfully personal, truths of those who serve and sacrifice. How do you shift seamlessly from battlefields to backyard barbecues? What is the price paid by families at home when husbands, mothers, sons, and sisters
go to war?

Crimes of the Heart
Written by Beth Henley
Directed by Liesl Tommy
March 8 - March 27th
Hilarious, Touching, Tragic
Three eccentric sisters, a husband who’s been shot, and a lawyer with a vendetta: the recipe for a 30th birthday gone perfectly wrong. Family cruelty has never been more casually dealt than in Beth Henley’s Pulitzer Prize-winning Southern Gothic screwball comedy. Ebullience abounds in the MaGrath home, even as this Mississippi family faces a veritable heap of misfortune. Touching, tragic, and daffy, Crimes of the Heart is a darkly comic family feud of epic proportions.
