OUR 2016 SEASON
Next Stop:
TWO PLAYS in REPERTORY!
The next leg of Mendocino Theatre Company’s 2016 theatrical road trip offers something new: a bi-coastal adventure with TWO plays done in repertory.
Buyer & Cellar by Jonathan Tolins is a one-man show about an out-of-work actor who takes a job as the sole employee in the basement “shopping mall†of Barbra Streisand’s Malibu home. This delightful comedy takes a whimsical look at fame and friendship. It stars NYC actor Tristan Sample (MTC’s The Graduate) and is directed by NYC director Stephanie C. Cunningham (MTC’s Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike).
Offered on alternating nights is the fascinating, warm, and funny one-woman bioplay Becoming Dr. Ruth by Mark St. Germain, directed by Elizabeth Craven and Betty Abramson. MTC veteran Ann Woodhead portrays Dr. Ruth Westheimer, everyone’s favorite sex therapist, as she tells the incredible story of how she escaped from the Nazis as a child, trained as a sniper for the Haganah in Jerusalem, studied psychology at the Sorbonne, and struggled as a single mother in the United States before finally making her name as a radio and television personality.
Buyer & Cellar and Becoming Dr. Ruth play on alternating days, July 28th through September 4th. Six Sunday matinees and four Wednesday evening performances are included in the run, with a discount available when purchasing both shows.
Buyer & Cellar and Becoming Dr. Ruth play in repertory from July 28th through September 4th.
This production is sponsored by Rossi's Building Materials

WELCOME BACK!
Director Stephanie Cunningham and actor Tristan Sample have left the sticky summer heat of New York City, where they have been rehearsing the upcoming show Buyer & Cellar, to join us again! We hear they are delighted to be back in the land of summer fog.
Tristan, of course, is a familiar face. He played the starring role in MTC's production The Graduate, 2014's box office sensation. Stephanie, a talented director and theatre educator, was here last year to direct MTC's hilarious production of Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike. Both have returned to work their magic, once more, in the delightful one-man comedy Buyer & Cellar. We are so excited to have them back!
