Mark Doherty's "Trad" (Jan. 24-Feb. 17, 2008), at Flashpoint's Mead Theatre Lab, takes a 100-year-old man and his even more aged father on a trip to find the son's love child. Artistic Director Linda Murray, recently returned from a year in Dublin, will direct.

Dates and venues have not been set for "Portia Coughlan," Marina Carr's saga of an incestuous family, to be staged by Jessica Burgess, and "Pumpgirl," Abbie Spallen's character study of a delusional housewife. Kathleen Akerley will direct.
