The play has contemporary resonance, posing questions about family and what it means to “be related.” “I set out to write a play about race and ended up writing a play about family,” said playwright Julie Hébert about Tree. “About the inescapability of family, of being known over time, of recognizing yourself in others, of continuing relationships after betrayal and suffering. We keep each other honest. Sometimes it’s funny, sometimes painful – and so it is with this play.” The story explored in Tree unfolds when a southern white woman shows up at the home of an African-American man in Chicago and claims to be his half-sister, impelling them to confront a shared past. In their search for the truth, they must navigate the fragmented memories of the man’s aged mother to discover where their roots intersect.The cast includes Tristan Cunningham, Susi Damilano, Carl Lumbly* and Cathleen Riddley. Designers include: Nina Ball (Set design), Kurt Landisman (Light design), Theodore J.H. Hulsker (Sound design) and Abra Berman (Costume design).

Performance times are Friday and Saturday evenings at 8 p.m., and Sunday matinees at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are priced at $20 – $35. Opening Night $39 (champagne reception). To order tickets by phone, call 408-266-4734. From the writing team of John Kander and Fred Ebb (“Cabaret,” “Chicago”), CURTAINS is a hilarious musical send-up of backstage murder mystery plots. Set in 1959 Boston, it chronicles the fallout when the supremely untalented star of “Robbin' Hood of the Old West” is murdered during her opening night curtain call. Everyone in the cast and crew is a suspect, and it’s up to Lt. Frank Cioffi, a police detective who moonlights as a musical theatre fan, to save the production, solve the case, and maybe even find love before the show reopens—all without getting killed himself. This bright, brassy comedy has plot twists and revelations worthy of the cleverest whodunits, along with plenty of memorable musical numbers from one of Broadway’s most talented songwriting duos. Can you solve this musical mystery before the detective does? Shelton Theater presents ABUNDANCE by Beth Henley (winner of the Pulitzer Prize) January 23 through March 14 What: Abundance weaves the tender-hearted tale of two mail order brides in Wyoming in the late 1860’s and spans 25 years as the women adventure into the wild west frontier.

Reminiscent of a Mark Twain story, pulitzer prize winner Beth Henley brings to light the brilliance of the human spirit as we witness the unfolding lives of two courageous women.
