NEXT ON STAGE...

July 20 to Aug 4

Almost a century ago, in a small courtroom on a humid summer day two crusaders, giants of their time, squared off to fight a battle of wit and words whose echoes still resound in all our lives.

HTC presents "Inherit the Wind" the seldom seen masterpiece of courtroom drama based on the infamous Scopes Monkey Trial. It is an edge-of-your-seat dramatization of the events in and around the historic trial where the forces of Creationism and Evolution faced each other for the first time in a court of law. The results were explosive.

"Dazzling… an electric flash of true theater." raved the New York Times. "Brilliant… exciting and absorbing." said the New York Post. The World Telegram called "Inherit the Wind" "A tidal wave of drama."

Play Reading Series...

Alan Ayckbourn's
Sisterly Feelings

Monday, June 11 @ 7pm

Directed by Michael T. Mooney

Sisterly Feelings offers audiences the chance to see not one, but four, versions of a classic Ayckbourn comedy. The play is so crafted that at the end of Scenes 1 and 2 actors make choice determined, firstly, by the toss of a coin and secondly by the whim of an actress. The choices, random or contrived, will enable audiences to follow one of four different stories!

The action of the play centres on the lives of two sisters: Abigail and Dorcas. Abigail is struggling with an unsatisfactory marriage to an upwardly mobile businessman: Patrick, whilst Dorcas is involved with a less than inspiring boyfriend: Stafford. Into the sisters' lives comes bronzed, athletic Simon who appears the epitome of each sister's innermost desire. A tussle between the two sisters as to which one of them can 'win' Simon provides moments of hilarious Ayckbourn comedy, whilst the more serious implications of modern relationships are not overlooked.
