Players' co-producer Bahman Mahdavi directs "Mind Like a Dog" by South Newfane writer Vincent Panella. "It's as if he never died!" exclaims Claire to her sister, Ophelia. She's talking about her deceased husband, Alex, whose ashes have returned with his hip-replacement hardware. Claire soon learns that Alex's "hip" can speak, and this comedy transforms into a tale of grieving and jealousy, love and marriage.

Players' newcomer Pamela Corkey directs "The Philadelphia" by David Ives and "Here, Gus" by Jennifer Jasper of Bennington, formerly Seattle. Of the former, she says, "A quantum anomaly afflicts a couple of average Joes at a diner, and of the latter, she explains, "a woman packs up her recently deceased father's apartment and must contend with his dog."

Rock River Players' Sue Kelly has written and directed "Strangers," which captures an unusual conversation between two people previously unknown to each other.

Veteran RRP player and director (Nickel and Dimed) John Moran directs "Drive-in" by Brattleboro's Robert Cullianne, a one-act play demonstrating that not everything in life and therapy is as it appears to be.

The Company includes Tom Bedell, Traci Berchi, Sherry Brown, Ramsey Demeter, Amy Donahue, Thomas Ely, Sue Kelly, Annie Landenberger, Adrienne Major, Stewart McDermet, John Ogorzeleck, and Janine Silva. Cherie Moran is the production stage manager; John Moran is the co-manager.
