SPECTERS: TRIFLES & THE AMERICAN DREAM

Both plays resonate deeply with contemporary issues, from the rise in domestic violence to the broader societal consequences of capitalism. In light of their enduring relevance, we are excited to announce several special events and initiatives as part of this production.

SPECTERS: TRIFLES & THE AMERICAN DREAM

By Susan Glaspell and Edward Albee

Premiere: Monday, Jan. 20, 2025
Additional shows: Jan. 22–26, 29–31, and Feb. 1, 2025
Shows start at 7:30 PM (Audimax, Von-Melle-Park 4)

TRIFLES / Directed by Charlie Bierend and Lydia Preusch

In a quiet, isolated farmhouse, a man has been murdered in his sleep. As the women in the play uncover subtle clues that reveal what really happened, the male officers dismiss these as insignificant “trifles.” Keenly aware of the hidden horrors within the home, the women quietly take justice into their own hands. Glaspell’s gripping and atmospheric drama delves into the intricate power dynamics of justice and gender. This production breathes new life into the 1916 classic, draws striking parallels between past and present gender roles, and illuminates the complexities of today’s #tradwife culture. An evocative staging of a timeless play!

THE AMERICAN DREAM / Directed by Felix Krebs

Mommy, Daddy, Grandma, and a “professional woman” without profession inhabit a world stripped of meaningful relationships. There’s no child, no understanding of the “professional woman’s” purpose, and confusion about whose mother Grandma is. As the chilling truth about an adopted child’s fate unfolds, the moral and emotional bankruptcy at the core of this so-called family is revealed. Albee’s darkly comic satire portrays a grotesque reality where the obsession with material wealth has hollowed out the facade of the “perfect American family.” Our production of the 1961 play underscores the disintegration of human connection caused by the relentless pursuit of financial success.
