The Greenbelt Arts Center presents:
A View From the Bridge
by Arthur Miller
directed by Stephen Cox

March 6 – 21, 2026

Location: Greenbelt Arts Center

The tragedy of a good, simple man ( a Brooklyn longshoreman) whose subconscious sexual attraction to the seventeen year old niece that he has raised as a daughter, collides with her attraction to one of his wife’s illegal immigrant cousins whom he has taken into his home out of his own generosity and love of his wife. Extremely moving tragedy with scattered humorous moments displaying both the air of 1950’s Brooklyn and a timeless, universal sense of the human condition. Contains subthemes relevant to current topics of controvery: such as the treatment of illegal aliens and anyone who seems “different” from the norm. Script published by Dramatists Play Service.

Wifey Unknown at the Greenbelt Arts Center, Feb 13-21

Wifey Unknown at the Greenbelt Arts Center, Feb 13-21

The Greenbelt Arts Center presents:
Wifey Unknown
written and directed by Abhisek Bhattacharya

February 13 – 21, 2026

Location: Greenbelt Arts Center

“Wifey Unknown” revolves around love, estrangement, and redemption. Under the thin veil of humor, it shows the story of a lonely, disabled wife, Rita, roaming like a wraith in the vast mansion her husband, Yardley, built for her. It tells how Rita slowly fades away from the busy life of Yardley without Yardley even consciously realizing what is happening. Then there is Alice, Yardley’s old friend and Rita’s supposed primary care physician, who appears in the beautiful vacation rental with lousy phone and internet connections when Rita suddenly starts “sleep acting.” Alice and Yardley try to determine what is happening to Rita and, in the process, discover much more about themselves than anticipated. As Yardley encounters events Rita and he went through together, he realizes that love needs to be nurtured, shown, and maintained- not just professed. “Wifey Unknown” tells about how a business tycoon dreaming of connecting the whole world loses and re-establishes a connection with his wife.
