Watch,
A Haunting by Molly Rice October 16th - November 2nd, 2008
Directed by
Lynn Morton
Watch, A Haunting, centers around a young girl named VI living with her neurotic mother and
elderly grandmother. Never fitting in, VI spends most of her time in her room or supplementing her lack of friends with food.
VI does have a special talent, a talent of seeing people that others cannot. When she befriends a girl that no one else can
see, her mother quickly makes an appointment with a PHD who may be after a Pulitzer, rather than providing any real help.
Is VI crazy? Or is she simply able to “see dead people…?”

Bermuda
by Noah Galuten
January 22nd - Feb 8th, 2009
A simple story at its surface about a a recently married man and wife who have the husband's brother over
for dinner-- Bermuda is a simmering dramatic comedy dealing with the inevitable human suffering that comes with resignation,
and the fear of loneliness in the modern world.
About Noah: Noah Galuten has had successful productions
and readings of stage plays, from the Orange County production of the one man show We Too Lie In Drifts to the Los Angeles
performance of Split, directed by Jenny Sullivan and starring Joe Spano, Scott Paulin and Wendy Phillips. His
current development, Necropolis: A Creation in Two Acts, Featuring the Talents of Sigmund Freud and Adolf
Hitler is under consideration for the prestigious Ojai Playwright's Conference. Noah currently resides
in Brooklyn, New York and is very excited to be a part of The Strand's inaugural season.
Smolder by Julie Lewis April 9th - 26th , 2009
After an accident leaves Sylvia scarred, her building's superintendent, and former
admirer, Reno, is left as her only contact with the outside world. As her dependency on Reno grows, Sylvia's previous
life as a publicist become more dim. Smolder juxtaposes scenes from her bright, self-absorbed past with scenes from her dark
and self-deprecating present. We see that Reno's former obsession with loving Sylvia turns to resentment, as adoration
turns to torture.
