After 18 months, Open Book Theatre is excited to open its doors to audiences once again. “We kept producing theatre in other ways, but there’s nothing like the energy of being in the room where it happens,” said Artistic Director Krista Schafer Ewbank. “The lights, the sound, the set….it all creates an experience that can’t be beat. Studies show that audience’s heartbeats sync during a live performance. You can get that from streaming Netflix.”

Slipstream Presents: THE MERRY WIVES OF MIAMI
Picture it. Miami. 1987. A successful television show ends after seven seasons, to everyone's chagrin. Dorothy, Blanche, Rose, and Sophia live on in all of our hearts as we watch reruns of The Golden Girls over a mound of cheesecake and a bottle of wine. But what if, through some strange bit of Hollywood magic, they were able to come back for a new season? And what if the first episode of that season included the girls doing Shakespeare's The Merry Wives of Windsor? The gay gasps would be deafening. Good news, Slipstream Theatre Initiative reimagines Shakespeare's comedy as just that - and invites you to a live filming of Season 8, episode 1: The Golden Girls do Merry Wives!

The news out of Philadelphia about the decade-spanning sexual abuse and coverup in the Catholic Church hadn't been released when Doubt was chosen to be part of the Open Book season, but it proves to have been a timely choice. In the play Sister Aloysius, a Bronx school principal, takes matters into her own hands when she suspects the young Father Flynn of impropriety. What follows is an engaging examination of the grey areas between suspicion, certainty and doubt.
