FALL PRODUCTION
Don’t miss this return engagement to ACU
this time with Mark Smith, artistic director
of Atlanta’s Legacy eatre, as C.S. Lewis,
and Adam Hester, ACU eatre professor,
reprising his role of Sigmund Freud. Faith
and science collide when Lewis pays Freud a
visit. Love, sex, death and the existence of
God: they’re all up for discussion in Freud’s
Last Session, which imagines a late-in-life
meeting between the devoutly atheist father
of psychoanalysis and the philosophical
Christian author-professor. Amidst the
ominous sounds of World War II and just
weeks before Freud’s death, Freud and Lewis
engage in a riveting, tension-filled discourse
on life’s most important questions.

Anthony arrives unexpectedly at classmate
Caroline’s door, carrying a beat-up copy of
Walt Whitman’s poetry and an urgent
assignment from their English teacher.
Homebound because of illness, Caroline
hasn’t been to school in months but she is as
quick and sardonic as Anthony is athletic,
sensitive and popular. When these two let
down their guard and share their secrets, this
seemingly mundane poetry project unlocks
the much deeper mystery that brought them
together.
By Neil Simon
Directed by Adam Hester
You want funny? Don’t miss Neil Simon’s love
letter to his years as a young writer for Sid
Caesar’s “Your Show of Shows.” Capturing the
hilarity and heart of television’s glory days,
Laughter on the 23rd Floor is one of Simon’s
funniest and most touching comedies.
Prepare yourself for sidesplitting laughter!

NICKEL & DIMED
By Joan Holden
Based on Nickel and Dimed, on (Not) Getting by in
America by Barbara Ehrenreich
Can a middle-aged, middle-class woman
survive when she suddenly has to make beds
all day in a hotel and live on $7 an hour?
Maybe. But one $7-an-hour job won’t pay the
rent: she’ll have to do back-to-back shifts as a
chambermaid and a waitress. is isn’t the
first surprise for acclaimed author
Ehrenreich, who set out to research low-wage
life firsthand, confident she was prepared for
the worst. Joan Holden’s stage adaptation is a
focused comic epic shadowed with tragedy.
“Involving, important and urgently topical.”
– Philadelphia Inquirer
“A rare example of theater that tries to open
people’s eyes to the way life is lived in the real
world – and maybe even rouse them to
action.”
– Time magazine

Based on the documentary film by S. R. Bindler
and Kevin Morris
Directed by Kari Hatfield
Inspired by true events … For 10 hard-luck
Texans, a new lease on life is so close they can
touch it. Under a scorching sun for days on
end, armed with nothing but hope, humor
and ambition, they’ll fight to keep at least one
hand on a brand-new truck for a chance to
win it. In the hilarious, hard-fought contest
that is Hands on a Hardbody, only one winner
can drive away with the American Dream.
“You can hear America singing in this daring
new musical.” – New York Times
