Holiday Memory
Synopsis:
recalls a childs day at the seaside and the excitement of the family as they prepare in the playwrights childhood home a house on a hill overlooking Swansea Bay in South Wales. Thomass memories are joyful and his words musical: A slap of sea and a tickle of sand. A fanfare of sunshades opening. After a long day, the tired family returns up the hill: And as we climbed home, up the gas-lit hill, to the still house over the mumbling bay, we heard the music die and the voices drift like sand.

Riders To The Sea
Synopsis:
In RIDERS TO THE SEA, set in the Aran Islands, John Millington Synge refers to the annual Gaelic harvest festival Samhain, held October 31 through November 1. The festival marks the end of harvesting and the lighter half of the year while ushering in the beginning of the dark season. Triple Shadows adaption sets the time of the play during Samhain, when the boundaries between the world of the living and that of the dead become thinner, allowing spirits to pass between the worlds. Solo actor Mari Andrejco plays Cathleen, re-living the fateful day her mother lost her last two sons to the sea. Cathleen leaves a window open to the west with a light burning to guide the departed home and sets places at the table for her six brothers, father, and grandfather, all lost at sea.
