Playhouse 22’s On The Edge Series is an opportunity for directors to present lesser known or smaller works that might not be suited to a full-scale production. The emphasis is on the play and the acting, not costumes, props or special effects. The shows are presented with the audience on the stage, right in the middle of the action, allowing a ringside view as the story unfolds around them. This season we are proud to present “As Bees in Honey Drown” by Douglas Carter Beane and “All The King’s Women” by Luigi Jannuzi. We hope you’ll join us for future productions.
