THE DIVINE SISTER
May 29 - June 15, 2014
The Divine Sister, written by the celebrated actor, playwright and female impersonator, Charles Busch, author of such camp classics as Vampire Lesbians of Sodom, Die Mommy, Die, and Psycho Beach Party. "This gleefully twisted tale," wrote the New York Times, is Mr. Busch's freshest, funniest work in years, perhaps decades." Evoking such films as The Song of Bernadette, The Bells of St. Mary's, The Singing Nun, and Agnes of God, The Divine Sister tells the story of an indomitable Mother Superior who is determined to build a new school for her Pittsburgh convent. Along the way, she has to deal with a young postulant who is experiencing "visions," sexual hysteria among her nuns, a sensitive schoolboy in need of mentoring, a mysterious nun visiting from the Mother House in Berlin, and a former suitor intent on luring her away from her vows.

June 19-28, 2014
CPAC, Van Fleet Theater
The World Premiere of BIG VOICE: THE ETHEL MERMAN EXPERIENCE is presented June 19-29, 2014 at the Van Fleet Theater. Heather Carvel stars as Ethel Merman. Also starring is Cody Shope as Donald and Elisabeth Tate as Mary.
It's 1963 and Ethel Merman, well rested and as brash as ever after her long run as Rose in the hit musical Gypsy, is appearing at the Club Bon Soir in Greenwich Village, New York. The small club, packed to the brim, offers Merman the opportunity to loosen up a bit and Mermo does not disappoint.
The brassy and abrasive, but ever cheerful Queen of Broadway dishes on her career, her life, and the men she has encountered along the way in this World Premiere concert experience conceived by WTC Artistic Director Kristofer Green.
Including music from Cole Porter's Anything Goes, Irving Berlin's Annie Get Your Gun, and Jule Styne'sGypsy plus a few surprise guests make BIG VOICE a concert experience you won't want to miss.
LEAVING THE ATOCHA STATION
June 12-28, 2014
Matt Slaybaugh (adapter of Skyscrapers of the Midwest, How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe, and others) brings another of his favorite books to the stage.
A young poet visits Spain on a foundation grant and lies to everyone he meets, spending his time reading Tolstoy, Ashbery, and Cervantes, going to parties, downing tranquilizers, smoking spliffs, and trying and largely failing to love and be loved by Spanish women.
Leaving the Atocha Station is a portrait of the artist as a young man in an age of Google searches, pharmaceuticals, and spectacle.
