This adult-themed dark comedy is sure to take audiences on an exciting, touching, and hilarious adventure. When Anna, a schoolteacher, is diagnosed with ATD (Acquired Toilet Disease), she and her brother Carl take flight to Europe. Anna decides to drown herself in the sensuality of food and sex, while Carl becomes involved in a wild scheme to find a cure for his sister. In the middle of it all is a Third Man, who appears in various forms throughout their journey. This award-winning script by Paula Vogel is directed by Erinn Hartley. The cast features Emily Wooton as Anna, Michael Rose as Carl, and John Gordon Baugh VI as Third Man. The production features a live music score throughout, performed by Zack Harding and Trevor Walker.

Anam Cara has moved!

If you've driven by our old space on Haywood Road, you may have noted our conspicuous absence.  That's because we are taking our partnership with our friends at Toy Boat Community Art Space to the next level by joining them over at 101 Fairview Road!  If you made it to any of our 2013 main stage shows, you're already familiar with Toy Boat as our main stage performance space.  Now, we'll be performing all shows, holding auditions, rehearsing, telling Tales and drinking Ales, and so much more in that big, quirky, wonderful space. And we're super excited about it!

Want to know what other cool happenings and goings-on are happening and going on at Toy Boat?  Check out their events page: http://www.toyboatcommunityartspace.com/upcoming-events.html.

Yippee!!
