Mary Martello and Megan Bellwoar star in Martin McDonagh's Tony Award-winning debut play, a wildly funny and deeply affecting satire of the skirmishes and silent feuds between mothers and daughters. In a small town in western Ireland, spinster Maureen Folan lives with her diabolically helpless mother Mag. Maureen's married sisters escaped long ago, leaving Maureen stuck at home, chafing against Mag's cunning manipulations and lamenting her missed chances. When romance blossoms between Maureen and the sweet, uncomplicated Pato Dooley, it pits mother against daughter, setting the stage for an explosive finish.

Andrew Jackson was a rock and roll GOD. He rode his outsider bad-boy image and his populist movement into office with promises of reform and representing the other America. What happened next was broken promises and a Trail of Tears. The multiple Tony nominee and Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle winning high-octane rock musical will explode on the Plays & Players stage with a truly American aplomb. A brazen political commentary that brings history bloodily to life, and leaves no contemporary political movement, from Obama’s “Yes We Can” to the Tea Party, unscathed.

Zora Neale Hurston was one of the most important and celebrated figures to emerge from the Harlem Renaissance. Outspoken, spirited and gifted, Hurston was a prolific African American writer of the 1930s, her books defining the black- American experience. In this dramatic biography, Hurston invites the audience into her exemplary life, rich with folklore, intimate portraits of her contemporaries, and excerpts from her significant body of literary work. Cathy Simpson returns as this Queen of the Harlem Renaissance in a spirited 50-minute one-woman performance. Incorporating music from the era and some of Hurston’s southern folklore, the story focuses on her battle to preserve her people’s culture and to live an authentic life against all odds.

David Lindsay-Abaire's Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winning Rabbit Hole has been praised as "an intensely emotional examination of grief, laced with wit, insightfulness, compassion and searing honesty" by Variety, and a "painstakingly beautiful, dramatically resourceful, exquisitely human new play" by BackStage Magazine. Lindsay-Abaire writes with honesty and compassion of Becca and Howie and their halting attempts to cope with the sudden, accidental death of their 4-year-old son. As they grapple with their grief and try to go on with their lives, they must also deal with Becca’s well-meaning but interfering mother Nat; her flighty sister Izzy; and the appearance of 17-year-old Jason, the driver responsible for their son’s accident.

Continuing a tradition begun in 2011, Old Academy Players will be collecting canned goods and other non-perishable food items for the North Light Community Center Food Cupboard in Manayunk throughout the run of the show. The theater asks audience members to bring items to add to the collection.

“Extraordinary, remarkable and compelling.” - New York Times

The Amish Project is a gripping and incisive exploration of the 2006 Nickel Mines schoolhouse shooting in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, that quickly polarized the nation, united a community and forged an unexpected path of compassion and forgiveness in its wake. Imbued with great poetry and surprising humor, this seven-character, one-woman show investigates a divided community’s attempts to reconcile crushing loss and tested faiths in spite of a sea of cultural differences.

A co-production with The Renegade Company, remounting and expanding their deeply moving 2011 production. Directed by James Stover and starring Janice Rowland.

Encore HD Broadcast from the State Opera Berlin, conducted by Daniel Barenboim.

Bizet’s Carmen is reputed to be the most famous opera in the world. Maestro Daniel Barenboim presents his musical view on this classic opera. Marina Domashenko's rich mezzo soprano voice makes her ideal for the title role in Carmen. After the premiere the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung wrote about Rolando Villazon: "A perfect José, sung as he hasn’t been sung in a long time... This young Mexican tenor alone makes it worth seeing." The new Carmen by stage Director Martin Kušej is one of the current significant opera events.

Shortly after the debut of Exorcism: A Play in One Act in 1920, Eugene O'Neill suddenly canceled production and ordered all existing copies of the drama destroyed. For over ninety years, it was believed that the play was irrevocably lost, until it was recently discovered that O'Neill's second wife had in fact retained a copy.

Revolving around a suicide attempt, Exorcism draws on a dark incident in O'Neill's own life. This defining event led to his first serious efforts to write. Exorcism displays early examples of O'Neill's unparalleled skills of capturing deeply personal human drama, and it explores major themes—mourning and melancholia, addiction and sobriety, tensions between fathers and sons—that would permeate his later work.

South Camden Theatre Company is proud to be one of the few theatre companies to ever produce this workshop production of a rarely seen early O'Neill work. This special theatrical event will be directed by Producing Artistic Director Joseph M. Paprzycki.

South Jersey reporter and columnist Kevin Riordan to host a talkback after each performance of South Camden Theatre Company’s workshop production of Eugene O’Neill’s Exorcism: A Play in One Act.

Director: David Fisher
Israel, Austria, Germany, USA, 2011, 93 minutes
In Hebrew, German, and English w/ English subtitles.

When four siblings discover their late father's memoir, they uncover a past defined by the Holocaust and marred by sacrifice, struggle, and guilt. When confronted by such a haunting legacy, what should they do? Three siblings walk away, appalled by the idea of dabbling with demons from their past. Yet director David Fisher refuses to afford his brothers and sister the privilege of complacency. Instead, he faces his father's legacy head-on, interviewing American soldiers, Holocaust tour and museum curators, European citizens, and his own family. Dissatisfied until he has retraced every word of his father's memoir, he takes his strong-willed siblings on a trip of a lifetime in hopes of bringing his family back together after tragedy. "Six Million and One" documents the Fisher family's journey towards seeking and finding meaning in the history that shaped their existence.
