Dramaturge

1911. Pittsburgh. Seth Holly’s boarding house is home to drifters and broken hearts, a waystation for folks biding their time. The residents include a restless musician with a wandering eye, a young woman waiting on a husband who’s not coming back, and an eccentric mystic who performs rituals in the yard while helping others find their song. Enter Herald Loomis, recently freed from a Southern chain gang with his young daughter in tow and desperate to reunite with a wife who might not want to be found. A lyrical triumph from Wilson’s magnificent The American Century Cycle, Joe Turner’s Come and Gone is a haunting and poetic tale of lost souls searching for spiritual mooring in the raging sea that is America.

August Wilson’s Joe Turner’s Come And Gone

Syracuse Stage

Alfred Hitchcock’s classic is given the madcap treatment in this award-winning comedy from playwright Patrick Barlow. London, 1935: Retired British Army Officer Richard Hannay has settled into quiet civilian life, but that tranquility is shattered when he’s unwittingly pulled into an international web of state secrets, double agents, and murder. Will Hannay go down for a crime he didn’t commit? Can he trust the beautiful, mysterious woman from the train? And what is the meaning behind the cryptic 39 Steps? Performed by a cast of four actors, this dizzying, hysterical parody is packed with non-stop thrills—a warmly comic love letter to the fiendishly fun spy stories of a bygone era.
