2025

You may have heard of the great composer F. Mendelssohn. You may not have heard that there were two. Equally talented siblings Felix and Fanny Mendelssohn were each other's chief supporters and best friends. But under the constraints of an unforgiving world, there was only room for one to be great.

Songs Without Words is the funny, tragic, and heartfelt story of one artistic soul inhabiting two very different artists. Featuring a solo actor's tour-de-force performance as both Fanny and Felix, Songs Without Words wrestles enduring questions of gender and genius, family and fame, siblinghood and the power of art.

HARRY CLARKE

Harry Clarke is the story of a shy Midwestern man who feels more himself when adopting the persona of a cocky Londoner, Harry Clarke.

Moving to New York and presenting himself as an Englishman, he charms his way into a wealthy family’s life, romancing two family members as the seductive and sexually precocious Harry, with more on his mind than love.

With his spellbinding and emotionally nuanced storytelling, Cale has created a riveting story of a man leading an outrageous double life.

The Thin Place

This play is about life, death and the afterlife. The title of the play makes reference to the delicate separation between life, death, and what is beyond.

Some have called this play a thriller, or even a ghost story. It’s built to be unsubstantial but intensely impactful.

Down the Road

“‘Down the Road’ has exceptional technical design for such a small space, and the acting is as powerful as it is precise…”

Full Review

“Both Blessing’s script and Ridge’s direction succeed in complicating what seems like an obvious story at the outset. This leaves the characters, along with disquieted viewers, asking important questions about monsters and how they are made.”

Full Review

The How and the Why

“Without a doubt, “The How and the Why” is a strong production, and Two Crows is proving itself to be a substantial creative force in this small town. It makes a person want to lean in and ask questions…”

Full Review

“Layer upon layer of conflict in the script is handled deftly by both actors, who give smart, nuanced performances. They have surprising moments of strength and vulnerability over the course of the play, and it’s delightful to feel allegiances switching between the two points of view, as each makes bold leaps forward and occasional missteps on their quest for ‘truth.’ “

A Christmas Haunting

“Madden is a whirlwind in the 75-minute show, using every inch the thrust space well, her writing filling it with distinct details that her physicalizations and storytelling make vivid in the mind’s eye. Under Marcus Truschinski’s direction the play feels pleasantly balanced and tailored for modern audiences, offering a more introspective take on the importance of accessing and sharing “tidings of comfort and joy,” even when they compete with our own darker feelings.”

Someone Who’ll Watch Over Me

“Deftly directed by APT stalwart James DeVita, the story focuses on three men who share a cell but are “divided by a common language” -- the American doctor Adam (a determined Josh Krause); the Irish journalist Edward (a witty Marcus Truschinski); and the English academic (a gentle Robert R. Doyle).”

The Belle of Amherst

“The Belle of Amherst is like visiting an old friend, warmed by a cup of tea on a cold winter’s night. It is not only worth the drive; it’s an auspicious start for a new theater company.”

Full Review

“As Dickinson, Arnold’s at her best, leaning into the poet’s eccentric genius vibe.”
