Emily Dickinson in Bandages by Rane Ramon Arroyo (Youngstown, OH) — directed by Dale R. Van Niel

Gay, Puerto Rican playwright, scholar and performance artist Rane Arroyo brings to CPT a work of love and compassion. Alice and Nicky's life together: warm, cozy, complete. But as with all lovers, subterranean tensions surface — over breakfast. Alice is having bad dreams and Nicky shows up wearing a formal white gown, forcing Alice to adjust.

Friday January 19 at 8pm & Sunday January 21 at 2pm

Anna O. (A Dream Play) by Anne Harris (New York, NY)

-directed by Lenny Pinna

Anna's lover has dumped her. Bittersweet memories gnaw at her mind and the familiar becomes alien, so she and her not-quite-analyst friend Doc pay a visit to her ex-lover's mother. Perhaps it will help. Perhaps not. Anne Harris is co-founder of the Lesbian Exchange of New Drama (LEND), one of the most significant organizations of its kind in the country.
