“I knew immediately that I wanted this to be unlike anything I had written.” – Lanford Wilson
Judd Hirsch returns to his Obie Award winning performance of Matt Friedman in Talley’s Folly by Lanford Wilson. Set in an old boathouse near rural Lebanon, Missouri in 1944, Talley’s Folly is a romantic comedy following the characters Matt Friedman and Sally Talley as they once and for all settle their feelings for each other.

In the beginning there was darkness. And a giant egg and mud and puppies and snakes and cow chips and kettles and scones. And loneliness too. In the beginning storytelling brought us together and gave us reason and hope, as they still do today. THE MAKERS is a mash-up of creation myths and origin stories from around the world in attempt to find what unifies us all as human beings.
