The Black Box Theatre Celebrating 10 Years!
The Minutes by Tracy Letts
What would you do to keep from being the villain in the history books? In the Big Cherry town council meeting, full of backstabbing, personal agendas, and pet peeves, The Minutes explores small town politics and the real-world effects of trying to rewrite history.
November 6, 7, 12, 13, 14 at 7:30 and November 8 and 15 at 2 pm.

The Long Christmas Dinner
Travel ninety years and ninety Christmas dinners in the Bayard home. The development of the countryside, the changes in customs and manners during this period of time as well as the growth of the Bayard family and their accumulation of property sums up vividly a wide aspect of American life. It is a serious play lightened with humor of character; it has a human, tender, moving quality both appealing and forceful.
The Black Box production is a part of the Thornton Wilder Estates "The Long Christmas Dinner" Festival.
December 4, 5, 11, 12 at 7:30 pm and December 6 & 13 at 2:00 pm
