Rabbit Hole
by David Lindsay-AbaireTue., Oct. 4–Sat., Oct. 8, 7:30 p.m.Called “a revelation,” “transcendent,” “profoundly affecting,” “entertaining and satisfying,” the 2007 Pulitzer Prize-winner for drama is an intimate portrayal of "thinking people faced with an unthinkable situation.” This astounding affirmation of the importance and resiliency of family is witty, unsentimental and surprising at every turn.

Three Sisters
