"Night Sky" written by Susan Yankowitz, explores what Steven Hawking has called the two mysteries remaining to us: the brain and the cosmos. When the brilliant and articulate astronomer Anna is hit by a car, she loses the ability to speak, a condition known as aphasia.

What emerges from her mouth is a hodge-podge of unconnected words, alternately confusing, funny, original, and wise, and sometimes a little bit of all of the above. In a series of brief, comic episodes, the play follows Anna through her illness and ultimate acceptance of herself––a personal triumph, despite a continuing infirmity––and dramatizes the impact of her changed circumstances on her lover, her teen-aged daughter, and her professional life.

Tickets are $15 for adults, $6 for students, and free to Chesapeake College students. Government employees with a government-issued ID receive $5 off ticket price.

"The R Word," by Ryan Schube, of Atlanta Georgia, is the winner of the 2010 Carlton E. Spitzer Excellence in Writing Award. Schube, 22, has Tourette syndrome and based this multi-character play on his own life experience, working with adults with developmental disabilities. The play is co-directed by Motivational Theatre's Executive Director Bob Chauncey and Peake Players Director Anita Teece, who is also the Associate Professor of Theatre and Communication at Chesapeake College. It features a mixture of well-known veteran actors, college students, and gifted high school students.
