    The Amateurs | STANDBY ONLY

    Written by Jordan Harrison | Directed by Oliver Butler
    Saturday, November 14 | 2pm

    Mr. Larking is God. Or at least he’s playing God in a 14th century production of the story of Noah’s flood. As his co-stars prepare to perform for the Duke, the crew is plagued by deadlines, a fear of the Black Death and a secret that could divide them all. The Amateurs is a comic tale of plagues, purpose and the origins of creativity.
