DESCRIPTION

In our Third Season: "Our American Table," we've examined America's relationship to food and the rituals surrounding it. THE DINING ROOM, CURSE OF THE STARVING CLASS and PICNIC have been rich contributions to the staged readings of great American plays we've offered since October 2005.

Now OAT Co. steps up to a new level with our first full production and a fitting culmination to this season's theme. With the recent world food crisis filling the headlines, this couldn't be a more timely piece of theatre.

THREE HOTELS by Jon Robin Baitz is an unflinching and deeply human examination of two lives collapsing under the weight of their participation in the multinational corporate world. Ken Hoyle is a hatchet man for a company that sells baby formula (often with disastrous results) to third world countries. It's been a long time since he and his wife Barbara were idealistic Peace Corps volunteers. But this moral compromise has taken its toll--in the worst way imaginable, and now Ken and Barbara have reached a point of no return.

In this three monologue journey, we sit in three hotel rooms in three different parts of the world and watch a man and a woman set out to parts unknown with much to contemplate, searching for answers and aching for redemption.
