The Miss Firecracker Contest by Beth Henley, directed by Dane Peterson
Carnelle Scott is rehearsing furiously for the Miss Firecracker Contest – hoping that a victory will salvage her tarnished reputation and allow her to leave town in a blaze of glory. The unexpected arrival of her cousin Elain, a former Miss Firecracker winner, complicates matters, and so does the repeated threat of Elain's eccentric brother, Delmount, to sell the family homestead and move to New Orleans. However, aided by a touchingly awkward seamstress named Popeye, who is hopelessly smitten by Delmount, and several other cheerfully nutty characters, Carnelle perseveres. This comedy provides audiences with unparalleled hilarity, compassion and moving lyricism as all the characters attempt to escape their unhappy pasts and turn hopefully toward a better future.

The Garment by Audrey Cefaly, directed by TBA
The Garment is a brutal tragicomedy about legacy, authorship, and the slow violence of collaboration. In a fading London studio, artist Blue Godfrey and her longtime accomplice Vell Mawsher are racing to finish a black mourning dress for the Tate, a garment meant to cement their myth. But when a young apprentice spots a fatal flaw in the design, it triggers a collapse decades in the making. What begins as artistic disagreement descends into something more primal: a generational war laced with jealousy, betrayal, and the predatory cost of being someone's muse. Lines blur between love and exploitation, mentorship and control, creation and consumption. And as the power shifts, so does the story about who was really holding the scissors all along. The Garment is a reckoning dressed in couture, a tragic unraveling of women bound by ambition, rivalry, and the hunger to outlive the work.
Saturday & Sunday, October 4 & 5, 2:30 pm, Rickwood Field
Cobb by Lee Blessing, directed by Don Sandley
THE STORY: The character of controversial baseball legend Ty Cobb is split into three differently aged versions of himself: The Peach, aged nineteen, at the beginning of his long career with the Detroit Tigers; Ty, in his early forties, at the end of his playing days; and Mr Cobb, in his early seventies, at the point of death from cancer. The play floats freely in time, moving back and forth among the Cobbs as they contend with each other, and the audience, over whom Ty Cobb really was and what he represented. Invading this self-imposed “argument in limbo” is Oscar Charleston, a black player of Cobb's time who, though relegated to the Negro Leagues, was dubbed the “Black Cobb” by the white press. Ty tries to avoid Charleston just as he always avoided playing exhibition games against him or any other black players. As Cobb fights both popular opinion, and himself, to justify his life, Charleston provides a deeper challenge to his self-esteem. Ultimately we come to know Cobb in his full complexity—as a sports hero of the highest order, fulfilling one of America's most cherished dreams, and as an example of some of its greatest failures.
