The Last Yankee:

A poignant look at two couples where the women
share an overwhelming sense of despair, and the men
try to bring them back to the lives they've fled.

"...A quiet, imploding depth charge of

emotion... Tautly pertinent...unlike
anything else Miller has so far shown us.
This is what theater is all about." -IVY Post.

74 Georgia Avenue:

74 Georgia Avenue is a deeply affecting examination
of the bizarre developments when a successful (but
deeply unhappy) white businessman, Marty, decides
to spend a few days in his boyhood home, in what now
has become a black neighborhood. He encounters
Joseph, the son of the deceased black man who was
the janitor of the once thriving synagogue of Marty's
childhood. This serendipitous meeting draws Marty
into a strange, haunting and uncanny journey as
Joseph recounts their shared past. This play embodies
the off beat humor and gentle pathos which marks
Schisgal's work.
