Firehouse Theater Company Presents

2008-2009 Season


Sleuth
By Anthony Shaffer
Directed by Rick Bernstein
October 10 - November 8, 2008

No one does "whodunits" better than the Brits! Mystery novelist and games-player Andrew Wyke has invited his wife's lover over for a friendly spot of gin. What starts out as an innocuous round of cocktails develops into an intriguing multilayered thriller with twists and turns that will make you gasp! Winner of the Tony Award for Best Play, Sleuth had 1,200 performances on Broadway. See it…and keep the secret…shhhhh!

Mother Hicks
By Suzan Zeder
Directed by Kris Hipps
January 16 - February 15, 2009

Set in southern Illinois, during the great Depression, this play is about three outsiders - - a foundling girl known only as Girl; a deaf boy, eloquent in the language of his silence; and an eccentric recluse, Mother Hicks, who is suspected of being a witch. The tale, told with poetry and sign language, chronicles the journeys of these three to find themselves, and each other, in a troubled time. Provocative productions through North America have revealed the power and appeal of this play.

Incorruptible
By Michael Hollinger700
Directed by Pat Payne
April 10 - May 9, 2009

Welcome to Priseaux, France, c. 1250 A.D.: The river flooded again last week. The chandler's shop just burned to the ground. Nobody's heard of the wheelbarrow yet. And Ste. Foy, the patron of the local monastery, hasn't worked a miracle in thirteen years. In other words, the Dark Ages still look pretty dark. All eyes turn to the Pope, whose promised visit will surely encourage other pilgrims to make the trek and restore the abbey to its former glory. That is, until a rival church claims to possess the relics of Ste. Foy-and "their" bones are working miracles. All seems lost until the destitute monks take a lesson from a larcenous one-eyed minstrel, who teaches them an outrageous new way to pay old debts.
