GASLIGHT
by Steven Dietz
Based on the original play by Patrick Hamilton
https://northlight.org/series/gaslight/

Strange things start to happen as the seemingly perfect marriage of Jack and Bella devolves into something sinister. Why is the attic door locked? Whose footsteps wander the halls at night? Beneath the mysterious flicker of gas lamps, a husband’s quiet manipulations twist reality itself, and a woman fights to reclaim her sense of truth — and power.

Elegant, gripping, and unforgettable — Gaslight is a chilling psychological thriller that will keep you questioning long after the curtain falls.

This show is where the term Gaslighting comes from.

The show is 110 minutes with a 15 minute intermission.

THE BRIEF WONDROUS LIFE OF OSCAR WAO
by Marco Antonio Rodriguez
Adapted from the novel by Junot Díaz
Directed by Wendy Mateo
https://www.goodmantheatre.org/show/the-brief-wondrous-life-of-oscar-wao/

“I have heard from a reliable source that no Dominican male has ever died a virgin. I shall be the first.”

Oscar knows that a nerdy Dominican college freshman isn’t anyone’s idea of a romantic hero. But with the encouragement of Yunior, his new roommate, he is determined to give love another chance. As Oscar sets out from New Jersey to Santo Domingo to prove his undeniable hope, can he shake the dark “fukú” that has haunted his family for generations? Junot Díaz’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel comes to vivid life in this world-premiere stage adaptation—a celebration of risk and the power of perseverance against all odds.
