SORRY, WONG NUMBER
By Lucille Fletcher
Lucille Fletcher’s Sorry, Wrong Number is a study of terror in which our leading Lady, Mrs. Stevenson, is caught in quite the unfortunate predicament between a telephone operator and the police. A telephone glitch causes Mrs. Stevenson to hear something she shouldn’t have, but unfortunately, no one seems to believe her. Originally brought to Old Time Radio listeners on “Suspense”, Miss Fletcher’s screenplay brings the original to the stage, allowing the audience a chance at a deeper immersion into this spooky tale.

THE DUMB WAITER
By Harold Pinter
Waiting… when thoughts turn to paranoia. Enough time with anyone can test a relationship, and here, in an abandoned cafe basement, Harold Pinter’s The Dumb Waiter captures the uneasy feeling of waiting while knowing that something is amiss. In an already shady line of work, with a mysterious employer and withheld information, this play cherishes both the highs and the lows of a dubious friendship.
