the gateWednesday 30th June @ 8pm
On a small insignificant kibbutz in the Galilee a great debate rages: Should the gate that faces the local Arab village be locked shut, or should it remain open? Robbie Gringras presents his sixth charming new solo show with a lightness of touch, a thoughtfulness, and a depth of emotion that has been the hallmark of his displays of physical story theater over two decades of international performance.

repertory theaterThursday 1st July @ 8pm
The show that took the Edinburgh Fringe Festival by storm is coming to Center Stage. A young timid playwright is invited by a neurotic, Hamlet-obsessed national theatre manager to discuss his debut play. When art meets production value things are never easy, but nothing on God’s green earth could prepare this young man for the zany ride he is about to take.
