Picture by Jeff Dorchen
Opening in June 2009
Strauss at Midnight
by Jeff Dorchen
the author of "Ugly's First World"
and "The Life and Times of Jewboy Cain"


When a time-traveling tourist on prehistoric safari accidentally kills a butterfly, the reality in Oscar Madison's apartment begins to unravel, and the Odd Couple poker table becomes the battleground for the destiny of human civilization.

Dorchen's new play takes Oscar and Felix into Tom Stoppard territory in this examination of free will in a society where the super-privileged can redesign the fabric of time and space.
