DOLL CONFESSIONS - by The Lelund Durond Theatre Group
What would happen if dolls, sitting on our shelves, in our china cabinets, silently witnessing our private lives and the lives of our children, were suddenly given the gift of speech? What would they reveal? Funny, poignant, chilling, these stories have been lying dormant for generations. Until now, through an innovative fusion of acting, music and dance, the Lelund Durond Theatre Group proudly presents The Doll Confessions!

ST. FRANCIS IN EGYPT - by Arthur Giron (Emmy nominee, Dramalogue Award winner)
A rousing experimental historical spectacle based on an incident in 1219, when St. Francis visited Egypt during the fifth crusade in an attempt to convert the Sultan of Egypt.

RED FLAMBOYANT - by Don Nguyen (Inaugrial Public Theatre EWG member, O'Neill National Playwright Finalist)
Starring: Francis Jue and Karen Tsen Lee
Directed by Laura Savia (Drama League Director's fellowship recipient)
The play takes place in Haiphong, Vietnam and is a story about a support group for Vietnamese women living with HIV/AIDS. The play uses elements of music, song, and storytelling to weave the traditional Vietnamese story of the Trung sisters onto the modern fabric of the world of the women. Out of the comfort and intimacy of their small living room, Mrs Hue and the other women are forced to deal with the outside world and the elements that come with it. Meanwhile, exploring the last days of the Trung Sisters calls for an examination of the role of women throughout time, and the philosophy and psychology of the hero myth.

FORGIVING TYPHOID MARY - by Mark St. Germain (Outer Critics Circle and Lucille Lortel Award winner)
Starring: Angelina Fiordellisi, and Jack Gwaltney.
This play is the true story of a woman who began a lethal epidemic. Never contracting the disease herself, She transmitted it to more than 50 people between 1900 and 1915. The number of victims is said to be countless. To curb the threat, Mary simply had to wash her hands. Produced everywhere but the city in which she lived, it is time to bring Mary Malon back to New York.

SONG OF THE BOW - by Wayne Harrel (Oregon Literary Arts finalist, Portland Drama Critics Circle nom)
Starring: Lorraine Serabian and Yuval Boim
Award-winning theatre director Celia Quinn is ready to leave it all, when she discovers a collection of 19th century sonnets about the Biblical characters David and Jonathan. For David, she casts Derrick Lazaro, an accomplished, politically active, gay actor. For Jonathan, she casts Zach Johnson, young, promising, and conservative. As they prepare the play’s premiere, the men’s relationship explores that of David and Jonathan’s, and Celia discovers the story behind the sonnets. Song of the Bow is a touch of the classical, a touch of slap-stick, with honesty at its heart. Perhaps even more exciting is the opportunity the play presents to promote conversation between distant communities.
