Dad’s an architect; Mom rushes to pack lunches and pour cereal; their daughter and son are bright, wise-cracking teens, appearing to be a typical American family. And yet their lives are anything but normal because the mother has been battling manic depression for 16 years. Winner of three Tony Awards®, including Best Musical Score and the 2010 Pulitzer Prize, Next to Normal is an unflinching look at a suburban family struggling with the effects of mental illness.

DRAMA –THEATRE PG-13

A breathtaking collage.

In 1998 gay University of Wyoming student, Matthew Shepard, was beaten and left for dead along the highway. Six days later, he died in the hospital from complications sustained during his torture. In the year and a half following his death and leading into the trial of the two men accused of the crime, author Moisés Kaufman and fellow members of the Tectonic Theater Project made six trips to Laramie and conducted more than 200 interviews with the people of the town. This play, the result of their efforts, explores the depths to which humanity can sink and the heights of compassion of which we are capable. By Moisés Kaufman and the Members of Tectonic Theater Project
