Program Or Make a Donation to Our Company Note from the Artistic Director Welcome to BoHo Theatre’s landmark 10th season. I am incredibly humbled and amazed by the collective efforts of the outstanding artists and designers who have given so tirelessly of them- selves for the greater good of this company throughout the years. BoHo’s rich history of daring theatre and intimate storytelling continues to grow and evolve in ways that astound me, and this chilling season opener is absolutely no exception. We begin this season with Ira Levin’s mystery thriller Veronica’s Room. Within the simple confines of an eery domestic setting, the story begins with a plea to ease the ache of a grieving woman. From an innocent beginning to a chilling outcome, it is a journey that causes each one of us to examine... to what measures would one go to cleanse the stains of the past? How far would you go to achieve freedom and redemption from that which haunts you? If you enjoy this production, we invite you to join our inaugural Membership Program or make a donation to our company. Your generous support is what allows BoHo to continue its rich history of storytelling. Welcome to BoHo’s tenth season. Welcome to...Veronica’s Room. Enjoy the show!

Running September 27th through October 27th, the play is a rarely-produced work from the acclaimed author of the novels Rosemary’s Baby, The Stepford Wives, and A Kiss Before Dying, as well as Deathtrap, which holds the record for Broadway’s longest running mystery play. Veronica’s Room represents the Bohemian Pillar of Freedom in BoHo’s 2013/2014 Season. THE PLAY “[Ira Levin] is the Swiss watchmaker of the suspense novel… he makes what the rest of us do look like those five-dollar watches you can buy in the discount drugstores.” -Stephen King, Danse Macabre This intimate thriller explores the thin line between fantasy and reality, and the lengths one is willing to go to find absolution. Students Susan and Larry find themselves enticed to an old New England mansion by its elderly caretakers in order to meet Cissie, the sole surviving member of the mansion’s family. They insist that Susan bears a striking resemblance to Cissie’s long-dead sister, Veronica. If Susan will agree to briefly impersonate Veronica, they believe it will comfort the dementia-afflicted Cissie and allow her to die in peace. But what begins as a simple errand of mercy quickly spirals into a nightmare cycle of guilt, sacrifice, and murder.
