In the Obie Award Winning/Drama Desk Award Nominated play, You Got Older, by Pulitzer Prize finalist Clare Barron, Mae returns home to help take care of Dad and – maybe (a little) – herself.

It’s the 1930s, the glory days of radio. Radio dramas are thriving! Well, everywhere except Portland’s local station KOD. This run-down station is struggling to stay on the air. It’s up to Agnes, the station’s all-purpose secretary, assistant, and copywriter, to try to hold everything together and get KOD back on top! But she’ll only help rein in this cast of crazy radio stars if her boss Fred promises to make her an equal partner. Madcap comedy ensues with a wild and raucous “on-air” finale. Will the new show be a success? To find out, you better not CHANGE THE STATION. Come to the Main Theater in Newhall and experience the 10th Anniversary production of this original comedy written by Wade Bradford and Christopher Flowers.

Alexandra is an 80-year-old artist in a showdown with her family over where she’ll spend her remaining years. In Alexandra’s corner are her wit, her volcanic passion, and the fact that she’s barricaded herself in her Brooklyn brownstone with enough Molotov cocktails to take out the block. But her children have their own secret weapon: estranged son Chris, who returns after 20 years, crawls through Alexandra’s second-floor window and becomes the family’s unlikely mediator. No sooner are the words “Hi, Mom” uttered than the emotional bombs start detonating. THE VELOCITY OF AUTUMN is a wickedly funny and wonderfully touching discovery of the fragility and ferocity of life.
