The Penetration Play by Winter Miller

Over the course of an evening, all three women will experience the bittersweet consequences of desire. This verbally taut comedy brings to life that little-known adage: If at first you don't succeed... seduce your best friend's mother.

TOC's 2012 Season

Hello and Happy Thanksgiving to All! 

We are happy to be able to announce our 2012 Season on this fine holiday. Thanks for hanging in there with us through all of our trials and tribulations. Keep your eyes peeled for audition dates/times as each show grows closer. Our 2012 Season is as follows: 

  

The Penetration Play by Winter Miller, Directed by Cherice Henderson, Feb. 9-11 & 16-18 

    Rain is in love with her best friend, Ash. It's possible Ash feels the same way. Except that now Ash is falling for Rich to the delight of her mother, Maggie. Over the course of an evening, all three women will experience the bittersweet consequences of desire. This verbally taut comedy brings to life that little-known adage: If at first you don't succeed... seduce your best friend's mother.

Three Tall Women by Albee, Directed by Kay Carroll, May 17-19 & 24-26

    In Act One, a young lawyer, "C," has been sent to the home of a client, a ninety-two-year-old woman, "A," to sort out her finances. "A," frail, perhaps a bit senile, resists and is of no help to "C." Along with "B," the old woman's matronly paid companion/caretaker, "C" tries to convince "A" that she must concentrate on the matters at hand. In "A's" beautifully appointed bedroom, she prods, discusses and bickers with "B" and "C," her captives. "A's" long life is laid out for display, no holds barred. She cascades from regal and charming to vicious and wretched as she wonders about and remembers her life: her husband and their cold, passionless marriage; her son and their estrangement. How did she become this? Who is she? Finally, when recounting her most painful memory, she suffers a stroke. In Act Two, "A's" comatose body lies in bed as "B" and "C" observe no changes in her condition. In a startling coup-de-theatre, "A" enters, very much alive and quite lucid. The three women are now the stages of "A's" life: the imperious old woman, the regal matron and the young woman of twenty-six. Her life, memories and reminiscences—pondered in the first act—are now unceremoniously examined, questioned, accepted or not, but, at last, understood. In the end, her son arrives and kneels at her bedside, but it is too late.

The Baltimore Waltz by Paula Vogal, Directed by Leslie Seaton, Aug. 16-18 & 23-25

    When Anna, an unmarried schoolteacher, is diagnosed with ATD, Acquired Toilet Disease, a fatal new malady with a high risk factor for elementary school teachers, she and her brother Carl take flight to Europe. Anna decides she wants to drown herself in the sensuality of food and sex, while Carl becomes involved in a wild Third Mannish espionage scheme to find a cure for his sister on the Continent. Something is not quite right with the scenario, and the largest hint is dropped when Anna shows slides of their trip to Europe where each frame looks exactly like Baltimore. Carl's quest for a cure dead ends with a mad Viennese quack. Their European idyll is broken by Carl's death, and the tragic revelation that the entire play was Anna's valiant fantasy to keep alive her brother's spirit when she could not save his life.

November by David Mamet, Directed by David Bailey, Oct. 4-6 & 11-13

    David Mamet's Oval Office satire depicts one day in the life of a beleaguered American commander-in-chief.

It's November in a Presidential election year, and incumbent Charles Smith's chances for reelection are looking grim. Approval ratings are down, his money's running out, and nuclear war might be imminent. Though his staff has thrown in the towel and his wife has begun to prepare for her post-White House life, Chuck isn't ready to give up just yet. Amidst the biggest fight of his political career, the President has to find time to pardon a couple of turkeys — saving them from the slaughter before Thanksgiving — and this simple PR event inspires Smith to risk it all in attempt to win back public support. With Mamet's characteristic no-holds-barred style, November is a scathingly hilarious take on the state of America today and the lengths to which people will go to win.

TOC Presents "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?"

Theatre On Consignment will end its 2010-2011 season with Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? the masterful dark comedy by celebrated playwright Edward Albee. 

The show will run May 19, 20, & 21 and 26, 27, & 28 at 8:00 pm (doors open at 7:30).

Performances are at First Metropolitan Community Church, 156 S. Kansas St. (one block south and east of Douglas & Hydraulic).

Ticket prices are $12 for general public and $10 for seniors, students, and military. For reservations, call (316) 941-9436.

Winner of the 1963 Tony Award for Best Play, it portrays husband and wife George and Martha in a searing night of dangerous fun and games with a young couple they have just met. By the evening’s end, a stunning, almost unbearable revelation provides a climax that has shocked audiences for years. Albee’s stripping away of social pretense and razor-sharp dialogue made it a ground breaking work of art. It has become a staple of contemporary American theatre.

It is for mature audiences only, with strong language and adult themes.
