In Miracle Play, psychotherapist Joe turns to unconventional methods to build trust with his new patient Mary, who believes she is the blessed virgin. As Mary gives Joe insight into her story, he begins to reveal his own. Together, they birth an ever-growing tangle of reality, fantasy, and healing. As the creator of Miracle Play, Baker draws from his decades of experience in psychotherapeutic work, as well as the traditional genre of miracle plays that were performed between the 12th and 16th centuries. This re-staging features two recent graduates from the University of Memphis Department of Theatre & Dance: Akia Miller, who has been a company member for several years, and Blake Currie, whose work has recently been seen at Hattiloo Theatre.

October 11 - 27, 2019 New Moon Theatre Presents The Pillowman, by Martin McDonagh Directed by James Kevin Cochran With echoes of Stoppard, Kafka, and the Brothers Grimm, The Pillowman centers on a writer in an unnamed totalitarian state who is being interrogated about the gruesome content of his short stories and their similarities to a series of child murders. The result is an urgent work of theatrical bravura and an unflinching examination of the very nature and purpose of art.

The asylum is overseen by the Abbe de Coulmier. After confiscating the Marquis' quills and paper, the Abbe is surprised to find lascivious new stories circulating in public. The source? A lusty young seamstress named Madeleine has been smuggling material out of the asylum. The Abbe is driven to increasingly desperate acts to silence the Marquis. Winner of an Obie Award. "…Doug Wright's raffish new comedy, part theater of the ridiculous, part comedy of manners and part Grand Guignol, successfully blends intentional archness, grotesque exaggeration and bold humor to create a theatrical experience of real wit." —NY Times. "Exuberant theater-making…gory, depraved, revolting and—uh-oh—sentimental. On top of all that, the play has something to say about censorship and what happens when you try to suppress art…Smirky, gross-out fun with a purpose. It's an amazing show." —Variety. "Cunningly structured and gorgeously written, with every phrase turned to a high, gleaming polish. Quills is a superb piece of writing." —Village Voice.

Angelo resolves to revive vigorous laws against sexual license, which have fallen into disuse. Under these laws a young gentleman, Claudio, is sentenced to death for having made his fiancé Juliet pregnant before their wedding ceremony. Claudio's sister Isabella, a novice nun, is persuaded by his friend Lucio to plead with Angelo for her brother's life. Angelo promises to free Claudio if Isabella will sleep with him. She refuses and tells her brother that she must keep her honor and he, therefore, must die. The duke has stayed in Vienna disguised as a friar observing the new regime and he now persuades Isabella to pretend to accede to Angelo's demands. Her place in Angelo's bed is secretly taken by Mariana, Angelo's former fiancé whom he deserted. After the event, Angelo betrays Isabella by trying to carry out Claudio's execution but his plans are foiled by the duke's intervention.
