By Samuel Beckett
Directed by Renee Prince
A pinnacle of Beckett’s characteristic raw minimalism, Endgame is a pure and devastating distillation of the human essence in the face of approaching death. Endgame, originally written in French and translated into English by Beckett himself, is considered by many critics to be his greatest single work. Samuel Beckett was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1969; his literary output of plays, novels, stories, and poetry has earned him an uncontested place as one of the greatest writers of our time.

Trying Myself on for Size
Accompanied by Christina Wenning
Featuring Deborah Colley & Bob Moore

One Night Only – Sunday, March 24th at 6:30 PM.
The inspiration for this cabaret is the idea that through the years, we try on different personalities and thought structures, and as we age, we begin to see the beauty in just being ourselves. Toddy is going to share some of her own music that she wrote during her time in Hollywood along with some songs that have inspired her music career, and she will wrap up the evening with some Amy Winehouse songs.
Toddy Walters is a multi-faceted artist who has performed in theater, film, television, and commercials both as an actor and a recording/touring vocalist.
TRTC: Becca in Rabbit Hole and Mrs. Kirby in You Can’t Take It With You.
Other Credits: Toddy has recorded albums of original material and collaborated with producers and songwriters for film and music projects. Toddy began as a voice-over artist in the first 2 seasons of South Park and the South Park feature film, Bigger, Longer and Uncut. She lent her vocals to the score of John Carpenter’s The Ward but was left on the editing room floor of Terrence Malick’s The Thin Red Line. Toddy created and led an Amy Winehouse Tribute theater piece with a full band from 2015-2018 in Denver called Winehouse to solid acclaim.

Friday April 12 7:30 pm – Cold Dead Hands by Josh Hartwell
Cold Dead Hands should feel different than just a creepy room with four strangers trapped inside. Different than reality. More like a dream, or four different nightmares combined. Shed the burden of, “nobody would react that way in that situation,” because it’s not quite literal. Not quite. There are no concrete answers given here, because there are no real questions asked.

Saturday April 13 7:30 pm – Taco Town by Luke Sorge
When the franchisee of a fast-food restaurant mistreats the manager, the rest of the crew bands together and refuses to open for business. But their ad-hoc protest quickly spirals into an odd hostage situation — they’re holding themselves hostage. With the police outside and the franchisee forcing his way back inside, the employees must fight for the rights they didn’t even realize they are so dearly due.
