CORE VALUES:Fearless art;
Daring and diverse stories;
A profound dynamic among the audience, the artist, and the work.
FEED YOUR HEAD!
Summer is coming… And this is what you have been waiting for. This is your FESTIVAL GUIDE for the 2018 Contemporary American Theater Festival. This guide is just what you need to finalize your ultimate theater experience in Shepherdstown. This guide will help you curate your play-going experience and help you schedule an immersive visit to CATF.
This summer, CATF is bringing you a collection of six new plays, six fresh powerful stories that offer you a portrait of contemporary America. This is a compelling, serious, and entertaining repertory by six American playwrights who are all driven by a fierce intellectual curiosity. They are stimulated by their imaginations and their search for meaning, empathy, compassion, and understanding.
This new repertory is our American anthem to the explosive power of art and the profound power of live theater: a riveting political thriller; a harrowing family tragedy; a 1920s love story; an enthralling dystopian drama; an intriguing, intimate conversation; and a timely, delicious comedy. This repertory provides you with a theatrical feast for the senses.
Not only is this your guide to the 2018 repertory, but also our talktheater events: Lecture Series, CATF in Context, After Thoughts, Post-Show Discussions, Friday Films, Lunch & Art, and Breakfast with Ed.
This is your guide to lodging, dining, shopping, and recreation in our historic village, on the banks of the Potomac River.
Our relentless pursuit for new work continues and I am looking forward to welcoming you to Shepherdstown, West Virginia: your cultural destination for new American theater. Make your plans; buy your tickets now; and call us if we can be of any assistance as you plan your summer summit of new plays!
Feed your head.
See you soon! Ed Herendeen

DELLA’S NORTH CAROLINA BAKERY IS LEGENDARY!
She is overjoyed when her best friend’s daughter
returns from New York to get married and asks Della
to make her wedding cake. Della, a sweet-natured
Christian, is forced to re-examine her deeply-held
beliefs and her own marriage when she realizes there
is not one bride, but two. Faith, family, and frosting
collide in this timely new play by Bekah Brunstetter,
writer for the NBC hit This is Us.

A SOVIET JOURNALIST WITH THE GIFT OF TOTAL RECALL.
A PSYCHOLOGIST SEEKING TO REHABILITATE HERSELF.
A GOVERNMENT CENSOR WITH A SECRET PAST.
Over two decades their fates become entwined as
victims and collaborators in Stalin’s campaign to
rewrite public memory. Long before fake news was a
trending topic, it was called propaganda. And in the
Soviet Union, circa 1938, it was the grease that kept
Stalin’s machinery of terror in motion. D.W. Gregory
takes us to a world where justice is arbitrary and
freedom as we know it does not exist.

SAMIRA AND GRETA LEAD A PEACEFUL LIFE.
They have their own clearing in the woods, their own
hut, and their son Kalil to keep them laughing. When
Kalil returns home without their water rations, they
find themselves in dangerous conflict with their local
political leader, Well-Man. Set in a tense, segregated
society, Thirst is a complex look at family and love
in war-time. C.A. Johnson explores the politics of
race and redefines community in this fierce post-
apocalyptic story.

AFTER COMMITTING AN UNFORGIVABLE CRIME
and doomed to surrender his freedom, Leroy is
granted one final wish: a chance to make amends
with his long lost lover, Berta. Their reunion swells
from a quarrelsome beginning to an impassioned
consummation of their love. Set in the 1920s, Angelica
Chéri’s riveting tale, inspired by the legendary prison
song, poses the question – can Leroy and Berta’s
bond survive the fate that awaits them?

IN RETIREMENT FROM LEADING THE FREE-WORLD,
Ronald Reagan invites us into his office for lemonade
and recollections of things he rarely (if ever) shared
before. Except maybe with Nancy. From award
winning playwright, Michael Weller (CATF’s Fifty
Words and The Full Catastrophe) comes a new play
written in collaboration with award winning film and
television actor, Tim Matheson (West Wing, Jumanji,
Animal House) as Ronald Reagan.
