Commonweal Presents: Lessons from Cancer College - What happens when a middle-aged college professor finds herself enrolled in a nine-month course of treatment for breast cancer? This one-woman show explores the anxiety and questions that emerge when the teacher becomes the student--of a disease, of a battery of treatments, and of her own changing body. Assuming it will be a manageable task to continue teaching through cancer, she’s is surprised--and ultimately healed--by the revelation that somehow cancer is teaching through her. Kristen Underwood performs this original adaptation that resonates with power and humor.

THIS WEEK AT THE COMMONWEAL THEATRE COMPANY
Enchanted April – a renewal of hope and love await four women from different walks of life when a shared vacation to a secluded Italian villa transforms these strangers into friends. This romantic comedy, set in the 1920’s, breathes new life into the most stifled of souls.


The Turn of the Screw - In one of the most terrifying ghost stories of all time, a governess alone in the English countryside suspects the children in her care are connected to spirits seen roaming the estate. Is this merely paranoia or does something sinister lurk behind these innocent faces?
