Directed by Celia Lupton
and Ian Howard

A Clear View is about our shared human experience, the highs and the lows, longing and comfort, wandering and finding your destination. Our desire was to choose plays that encourage you to think about life in new ways, or revisit familiar topics, to help you (and us) learn a bit about ourselves and just what it all means.

The Whole Shebang

By Rich Orloff

Directed by Ian Howard
This play asks the question, "What if the entire universe was just some nerd's science project?" In a classroom in a dimension far beyond ours, a student striving for a "Master of the Universe" degree gives an oral presentation on an unusual thesis -- the creation of the heavens and the earth. Two professors and a dean interrogate the student and his two visual aids, a "typical" man and woman.

The Green Hill

By David Ives

Directed by Celia Lupton
Jake has a vision of a lovely green hill, where he feels free and at peace. He knows the hill is real, and he has to go there. He sees a poster of the hill in a travel agent's window, but the hill's real location proves to be elusive. But Jake is relentless in his search.

A Long Trip

By Dan McGeehan

Directed by Celia Lupton
An elderly man desperately attempts to connect with his wife one last time before he loses her completely to dementia. He tells her the story of when they fell in love and does it so vividly she can almost see it.
