Aurora Theatre Company presents the hit off-Broadway comedy Body Awareness by Obie Award-winning playwright Annie Baker. It's Body Awareness Week at a small Vermont college, and feminist professor Phyllis, who leads anything but a conventional life with girlfriend Joyce and her teenage son Jared, is in charge of the week's festivities. When visiting guest artist Frank Bonitatibus, who specializes in photographing the female nude form, brings his work into Phyllis and Joyce's home, conflicting feelings over sexuality and sexual identity get hilariously stirred up. Hailed by The New York Times as "an engaging new comedy by a young playwright with a probing, understated voice," Body Awareness examines the unpredictability of relationships and how fragile people become when confronted with the unexpected. Joy Carlin directs.

This Is How It Goes: Neil LaBute's Edgy Comic-Drama

Full Price:
$35.00
Our Price:
$17.50

Award-winning playwright Neil LaBute goes for the jugular, pitting racial prejudice against desire in This Is How It Goes. Mixed-race couple Cody and Belinda live a charmed life, but Cody's blackness stands out in their small Midwestern town. When an old friend returns to town, his attraction to Belinda sparks jealousy, lies and confusion. Directed by Artistic Director Tom Ross and featuring Aldo Billingslea, Gabriel Marin and Carrie Paff, this dark and edgy play, called "smart and stylish" by New York Magazine, explores the many ways in which the race wild card is played by both black and white America.
