Pinter's The Hothouse
Sinister and scathingly funny, this dark comedy unlocks
the secrets of a state-run “rest home” where the staff is even more disturbed than the inmates. Written in 1958 and long buried by its author, The Hothouse is one of Pinter’s best and funniest plays, dealing with the worm-eaten corruption of bureaucracy, the secrecy of government, and the disjunction between language and understanding.

Bad Seeds
An evening of song, dance, and complete impertinence, the members of the Alumni Theater Company act out characters inspired by school and the life of a teenager. Sometimes bratty, bold, arrogant, or simply misunderstood each has a story bigger and and brighter than imagined. Hip hop, Broadway, and pop culture meld together in this energetic and reflective musical revue. ATC's talented cast members somehow find a way to make degenerate look good.
