Synopsis

A delightful musical adaptation of the classic novel about Anne Shirley, a red-haired, wide eyed orphan girl who is thrust upon the town of Avonlea. Her genius for getting into trouble changes her life and the lives of all those around her. A heartwarming story for everyone in the family.

Former celebrity shock jock Don Berlin has lost his job, lost his wife, and lost a lot of money to his bookie. Faced with a bottle of pills, a good bet gone bad and his wife's unexpected return, Berlin has to figure out how to keep going when talking isn't enough.

With wit and desperation, Donnelly, whose "genuine gift for making likable, interesting, realistic characters... whets our appetites for future Donnelly productions" [Martin Denton, NYtheatre.com], maps the relationship between two creative people, and the intentional and unintentional traumas they inflict on each other.

Following on the highly successful run of BUNBURY, the Ovation Award-winning Road Theatre Company teams with director Stephen Sachs, co-artistic director and co-founder of The Fountain Theatre, to present the West Coast Premiere of STRING OF PEARLS by Michele Lowe. Four actresses play 27 roles in this funny and touching play that follows the journey of a string of pearls as it passes through the many hands and hearts of unforgettable women.

The Los Angeles Times calls the show "a glowing West Coast premiere by the Road Theatre Company...director Stephen Sachs casts four formidable actresses...carrying an elegance that elevates its chick flick contours, ’String of Pearls’ is lustrous entertainment, and the players who wear its post-feminist metaphors are a top-notch matched set...CRITIC’S CHOICE!"

Come and experience The Road in its 15th season!

Waving Goodbye is the story of Lily Blue, a 17-year-old artist who loses her father in a mountain climbing accident, and must spend her 17th year with the mother who abandoned her. It's also a story of loss, grief, change, making art, wishing things were different, being stalled, finding love, not turning into your mother, and those irrevocable moments after which nothing is ever the same.
