WHO’SNOTE WHO IN THE CAST DIRECTOR’S It only takes a moment For your eyes to meet and then Your heart knows in a moment You will never be alone again Cornelius Hackl- It Only Takes A Moment- HELLO DOLLY! Act 2 Sc.3 I had no idea fifteen months ago when I selected HELLO DOLLY! for the season what the next year would bring. I had no idea I would lose my husband of more than 30 years. I had no idea about a lot of things.

Thank you to my family, colleagues, and friends who have stood by me so very, very generously over the last several months. Thank you to PTC for being the light at the end of the tunnel.

macbitches by Sophie McIntosh June 9, 7 pm • June 11, 2 pm When a freshman is unexpectedly given the coveted role of Lady Macbeth, a few upperclassmen actresses invite her over to “celebrate” her casting and reassert their positions at the top of the theatre department’s hierarchy. As the Fireball and Svedka flow, the girls interrogate their own sense of ambition as well as the power structures that have shaped their theatrical education.

Looks Like Pretty by Elyzabeth Gregory Wilder June 10, 7:30 pm • June 11, 7:30 pm Charlie is in love with Shirley, the Kodak Color Girl. With fair skin and auburn hair, she is the basis on which all photographs are color balanced. But when Gloria, an AfricanAmerican employee asks for his help after the disappearance of her daughter, they question the limitations of technology as they explore how we perceive light, color, and beauty. Looks Like Pretty examines who is seen and who is invisible, and how science and technology play a role in manipulating the narrative.

The Machine by Matthew Libby June 16, 7 pm • June 18, 2 pm

An acclaimed poet-turned-professor with a severe case of writer’s block, is approached by the CEO of a tech company with a strange proposition: he wants to design an artificially intelligent computer program that will create works replicating her poetic voice – a machine that can write her poetry. This sends her through a journey of self-discovery, as she struggles with her identity as an artist; with a tragedy in her recent past, and with the question: what does it mean to lead a creative life?

The People Before the Park by Keith Josef Adkins June 17, 7:30 pm • June 18, 7:30 pm

1856. New York City. The people of Seneca Village, African-American and some Irish immigrants, have lived peacefully and away from the corruption of downtown New York City. However, when the City decides to build Central Park their quiet hamlet becomes the target of demolition. One man decides he will not be moved.
