Special Note: CVNC needs your help to continue to provide outstanding services.  Read a letter from our Executive Ediitor.

Osmosis is a wonderful thing but it doesn't get your events into this calendar - please see instructions at Help -> Submit Events and send us your information! Remember - if you want us to consider your April events for review, we must have them online - here! - by 3/20. And if you operate on a semester basis and haven't yet sent spring events, please do so now, for it is late in the game.....

North Carolina Stage Company: In the Next Room (or The Vibrator Play)

Sarah Ruhl: In the Next Room (or The Vibrator Play) - "With the invention of electricity in the late 1800s came the invention of a remarkable device for treating 'hysteria' and other maladies in female patients. Dr. Givings is on the cutting edge of science, and he operates a highly-respected clinic out of his home, where he provides his 'treatments.' While the subject is titillating, Sarah Ruhl's lyrical dialogue and keen insight into the hearts of women and men make this play more than just a one-note joke. In fact, it's as poignant as it is funny,"
