	September-October, 2011 The Underpants A comedy adapted by Steve Martin, from the original by Carl Sternheim directed by Hal Gelb How does the universe unravel around you? For a sleepy German town, it starts with someone’s wife’s underpants falling down right in the center square! Comic genius, Steve Martin takes on this classic, expressionist farce. “Not since Monica Lewinsky’s thong has a pair of panties caused such a national fuss.”
	November - December, 2011 The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds By Paul Zindel directed by Katja Rivera Embittered boardinghouse owner Beatrice wreaks petty vengeance for her dismal life on her two daughters, the unstable and submissive Ruth and the gifted but pathologically shy Tillie. When Tillie undertakes an unusual science project, she finally breaks free of her dysfunctional mother…and reveals a shattering truth.
	January - February, 2011 Little Brother A novel by Cory Doctorow, adapted and directed by Josh Costello 17-year-old tech hacker Marcus is suddenly apprehended by the Department of Homeland Security for days of merciless interrogation. When no one besides his friends believes his story, he’s left with only one option: take down the system himself. Could this near-future story by the award-winning novelist and BoingBoing editor really happen here... or has it already begun?
	March - April, 2012 A Bright Room Called Day By Tony Kushner directed by Brian Katz As “Nazi!” becomes a greeting for polemical talk show hosts and Reagan is beatified by the Right, we join one of America’s greatest living political playwrights in wondering what dangers await when intellectuals (and artists) are silent as the world is dismantled around them. Kushner’s unflinching look at the rise of the Third Reich, with parallels to 1980’s Manhattan, is more relevant than ever.
	July - August, 2012 The Merchant of Venice By William Shakespeare directed by Stuart Bousel For Custom Made’s first ever joust with the Bard, director Stuart Bousel (M. Butterfly) takes on this tragic comedy of love, friendship, prejudice and justice. Find out why Shylock remains one of Shakespeare’s most misunderstood characters, in a story in which no one is truly innocent.
