The 8 PM performance April 25 will feature the talents of Rachael Harris, Harriet Harris, John Getz, Peter Paige and Cynthia Stevenson. Subsequent performances are scheduled for May 9, May 23, June 6, June 20 and June 27.

The plays that comprise the evenings follow:

The Revision by Jordan Harrison - an amusing look at how two men might rewrite their vows to more accurately reflect the limited options available to a gay couple
White Marriage by Jeffery Hatcher, in which a wife and husband discuss his “gay” sense of humor
London Mosquitoes by Moisés Kaufmann - a widower tries to make sense of the loss of his long-time lover
This Marriage Is Saved by Joe Keenan, a satiric vignette in which a disgraced evangelist and his wife insist that his fling with a male prostitute has strengthened their marriage.
Strange Fruit by Neil LaBute - the story of two men in love whose plans to get married “the old-fashioned way” are stymied when reality rears its ugly head
This Flight Tonight by Wendy MacLeod - Is there any hope for happiness when a lesbian marriage begins in IOWA?
Pablo and Andrew at the Altar of Words by José Rivera – two men use their marriage vows to “say the things we never really say”
The Gay Agenda by Paul Rudnick - a sadly hilarious plea for understanding by an Ohio homemaker and member of Focus on the Family
On Facebook by Doug Wright, adapted from an actual Facebook thread that chronicles one long fight among friends on the issue of gay marriage.

Audience talkbacks follow each performance.
