**METHOD MACHINE announces a change in the Season 2010 Line-up: Jennifer Haley’s NEIGHBORHOOD 3: Requisition of Doom will kick off the season with a thriller. Check out our TICKETS pages for more information!!!
METHOD MACHINE SEASON 2010 is an exploration of rare classic American theater and a foray into Irish modern comedy…and gore. Eugene O’Neill’s IN THE ZONE, set in WWI, is all too relevant to our standing war in Iraq. THE LIEUTENANT OF INISHMORE, from the twisted mind of Martin McDonogh, takes us to Ireland from some bloody good times. In celebration of Tennessee William’s 100 birthday, we will close the season with SOMETHING CLOUDY, SOMETHING CLEAR, a frank biographical play of youthful love, set on the dunes of Cape Cod. Join us at MuCCC for all three shows!

NEIGHBORHOOD 3: Requisition of Doom
By Jennifer Haley
Feb 17 to Mar 6 2011
In a suburban subdivision with identical houses, parents find their teenagers addicted to an online horror video game. The game setting? A subdivision with identical houses. The goal? Smash through an army of zombies to escape the neighborhood for good. But as the line blurs between virtual and reality, both parents and players realize that fear has a life of its own.
THE LEIUTENANT OF INISHMORE

with Marcy J. Savastano & Michael Francis O’Connor
As part of an I.R.A. splinter group, Padraic thinks nothing of murdering and mutilating his enemies—but the sudden death of his beloved cat leaves him heartbroken. Amidst the comedy and carnage, McDonagh delivers cutting commentary on the endless cycle of violence that engulfs our world. The Lieutenant of Inishmore employs explosive dialogue and a perfectly oiled plot that is brutal, bloody, yet irresistibly funny. GALLONS of blood.

SOMETHING CLOUDY, SOMETHING CLEAR
By Tennessee Williams (pictured)
Directed by David Henderson
A young playwright, August is broke and struggling to rewrite his new Broadway play on the dunes of Cape Cod when he is interrupted by Kip, the dancer he quickly falls in love with. Other visitors like Tallulah Bankhead and a randy merchant marine dot the sandy landscape as the past is re-imagined and the present is captured with heart-breaking desperation. SOMETHING CLOUDY, SOMETHING CLEAR is Tennessee’s most autobiographical work and recalls the summer before his breakout hit, The Glass Menagerie.
