“A warm, but unstinting look at the burdens and rewards of caring for a loved one with special needs.” —Time Out Chicago.
A birthday party…two surprise guests…one unexpected evening.
Anxiety-ridden Carol (Lisa Coveney) is determined to have an intimate family dinner party for her disabled son who is turning twenty-one. Everything is going wrong. Her estranged ex-husband (Brian Hayes) drops in unexpectedly after years of having nothing to do with her or their son’s disability. Her daughter (Katie Whitney) reveals that she has a new boyfriend (Chris Krenz), who Carol has never met, who will also attend. And Carol’s son and caregiver are late…very, very late to the party. Lenore Ferber and Michael Haifleigh play the older generation of this clan confronting the possibilities of reconciliation, the power of the past, and the irresistible pull of family.
“A lively and moving comedy-drama… breathing with real, complicated life…buoyantly entertaining.” – The New York Times

“A very fine new play ….one of the more subtly surprising treats of this theater season.” The New York Times. “A quality rarely seen on Broadway” – Time Out
Welcome to Southie, the Boston neighborhood where a night on the town means a few rounds of bingo, where this month’s paycheck covers last month’s bills, and where Margie Walsh (Katie Whitney) has just been fired from yet another job.
Facing eviction from her eccentric landlady (Linda Lee Austin) and scrambling to catch a break, Margie, on the advice of her best friend (Emily Rogers), approaches her former boyfriend (Dave Barker), now a wealthy doctor, in hopes that he is her ticket to a fresh new start.
Will this self-made man face his humble beginnings? Margie risks what little she has left to find out. The outstanding cast includes Krystle Dellihue and Chris Krenz.
“Good People maps the fault lines of social class with a rare acuity of perception while also packing a substantial emotional wallop.” – Boston Globe “A wonderful new play … poignant, brave and almost subversive in its focus on what it really means to be down on your luck” The New York Post

Redbud Productions celebrates its 15th year with this acclaimed play by award-winning playwright and Pulitzer Prize nominee Amy Herzog. The Great God Panwill be performed at Kerrytown following a critically-lauded world premiere at New York City’s Playwrights Horizons Theater. “A haunting new play…not something I’ll soon forget” The New York Times “Whatever the ideal [play] is, it has to look a lot like The Great God Pan” The New York Observer
Jamie (Dave Barker)’s life in Brooklyn seems just fine. He has a beautiful girlfriend (Katie Whitney), a budding journalism career, and parents (Mary Franceschi, Tim Grimes) who live just far enough away.
But, when a childhood acquaintance (Siamak Davarani) visits him with unsettling news, Jamie’s life is thrown in a tailspin, and he finds it difficult to decipher what is real and what is imagined.
Janet Rich plays a former babysitter whose fading recollections may provide a clue to the past and Sofia Fall is a young girl with a serious ailment in this mysterious and deeply compassionate play – the intimate tale of the tricks of one’s memory and of what is lost and won when a hidden truth is unloosed into the world.
“Haunting, deeply affecting, and unfailingly honest. Amy Herzog is one of the bright theatrical lights of her generation!” – The New York Times
