Take Me Out
April 21,23,29 & May 1


Winner of the 2003 Tony Award

The New York Times calls Take Me Out “an unconditional, all-American epiphany…to cherish. It’s a sensibility that is so smart, raw and sincere all at once that you may find tears in your eyes.”  Darren Lemming, the star center fielder of the World Champion New York Empires, is a young, rich, famous, talented, handsome and so convinced of his popularity that when he casually announces he is gay, he assumes the news will be readily accepted by everyone.  It is not.  The ambivalence turns to anger and violence when the Empires call up young phenom Shane Mungitt. 

April 21,23,29 & May 1

Tickets $12.00/RCC students free.
Recommended for ages 16 and over due to adult language and situations.

Sez She (formerly talking with) by Jane Martin

April 22,24,28 & 30


This sequel to Jane Martin's previous monologue play Talking With, captures the funnier, stranger days of the 21st Century. Thirteen women cover the contemporary take on everything from sexual harassment to sleeping in theatres to the appeals of silence.  Brief, hilarious and spouting many a homespun philosophy, you will be amazed and amused by these wonderfully wise women.
