The self-important amoral elite will never go away. That’s what makes William Congreve’s Restoration Era classic The Way of the World perfect for updating into modern day Los Angeles. Adapted and directed by Colleen Reilly, this sharp-tongued satire exchanges puffy vests for Armani jackets while "nobles" cheat, manipulate and lie to win a family fortune and get away with sexual deviancy. Surprisingly, in the midst of all this depravity, two young people fall in love. But, when everyone around them is looking out for themselves, how can the young lovers trust that those feelings are authentic?

A TU original by Andrew Moore, Tracing Sonny is about the baggage we carry with us from childhood and how it dominates our personal relationships as adults. Sonny, a voice over artist, struggles to fend off the invasive influence of his over-bearing parents as they literally speak for him, taking over his personality and forcing his true love to the outskirts of his life. Is it too late to take control and get her back? Heady, humorous and heartfelt, this production will also incorporate animation, making it the company’s most visually ambitious show to date.
