Comprised of a series of interrelated scenes, this Pulitzer Prize-winning play traces the coming of age of Heidi Holland as she tries to find her way in a rapidly changing world. Starting in 1989, we see her evolution, from a high school student to successful art historian. Along the way, she begins a romantic relationship with a glib publisher and a more meaningful friendship with a pediatrician. She also navigates encounters with other women, now much changed, including those who were part of her childhood and college years.

When it premiered in 1928, this classic American play was praised for its innovative, expressionistic style and staccato dialogue. It chronicles the life of a young woman who is victimized and dehumanized by everyone around her. Playwright and journalist Sophie Treadwell based her drama on the real-life sensational Ruth Snyder-Judd Gray murder trial.

Pygmalion goes awry in this contemporary comedy of manners, which explores sexual harassment, misplaced amour, and the possibility of a four-sided love triangle. The combatants are a sexy, volatile young woman, a lawyer, a writer, and a fiancée in sensible shoes. The setting is Boston, the ending is happy, and laugher abounds.
