$40K for 40 Years of City Garage!
Last week we kicked off our effort to raise $40,000 for 40 years of City Garage. This week we’re excited to tell you that two of our dearest patrons, Ruth Flinkman Marandy and Ben Marandy have stepped up in the most magnificent way to help us get there—a gift of $10,000 toward our goal! It was through Ruth that Charles and I met and started doing theatre together 40 years ago. I was directing and Ruth was producing at her theatre in Ocean Park, The Off Main Street Theatre. Charles came in to do the set for a production of “Miss Julie,” and that’s how it all began. Decades later, Ruth has remained one of our most generous supporters and faithful patrons. We literally wouldn’t be here—or together—without her. Our deepest gratitude to her and Ben for their incredibly generous gift.
Join them in celebrating our 40th anniversary by a gift of your own!

Death and the Maiden by Ariel Dorfman
In an unnamed country which has only recently returned to democracy, a man who has been named to head a commission that will investigate the crimes of the previous regime is driving home one night when his car breaks down. He is rescued by an older man, a kindly doctor. But when he brings him home, his wife recognizes—or think she does—his voice as that of the man who raped and tortured her years before, while she lay blindfolded in a military detention center. Death and the Maiden, the award-winning drama from Ariel Dorfman, is a harrowing suspense thriller that investigates the slippery moral territory between the hunger for justice and thirst for revenge. Do immoral acts justify immoral retribution? And what if the target our legitimate outrage is innocent? How certain can we be of our motives—or of our own morality—when we suddenly have the opportunity to take justice into our own hands?
“A terrifying moral thriller which combines brilliant theatricality with clear thought and fierce compassion.” — Sunday Times (London)
“Suspenseful, riveting…achieves a universality that is movingly personal.” — The New York Times
See you at the theatre!
Frédérique, Archie (et Charles)
