It is the Fourth of July sometime in the future, and history is about to be made. We are about to witness the annual Hot Dog Eating Contest. The five women invited to this stage have set out to conquer nature, destroy their own limits, and shatter our perception of what the human body is or isn’t capable of. DOGS is a dizzying, anti-plot, high-intensity exploration of capitalism, competition, and consumption that begs the question: how long can we keep all this up?

It’s summer of 2011, and Ellie, an awkward 16-year-old, has written what she believes to be a groundbreaking new musical inspired by the early discography of Avril Lavigne. She has invited Rachel, her much cooler ex-best friend and their theatre teacher’s favorite, to her house to pitch the show in hopes that Rachel can convince him to program it for their spring musical. Over the course of one evening of workshopping, the two girls rekindle their friendship and reopen old wounds. The Best Damn Thing is a piercing and boldly theatrical exploration of what it means to be a teenage girl in a world that refuses to take you seriously.

It’s 2002 and rising teen starlet Caitie Clark is a favorite fixture of all the major Hollywood tabloids. As the rumor mill churns with stories of Caitie’s professional and personal troubles, a massive breakdown on set brings her career to a screeching halt. 20 years later, a major streaming corporation seeks to hold us all accountable by revealing the true story of Caitie Clark through a brave and timely biopic. A searing portrait of Hollywood across the last two decades, It Girl examines what it means to be a woman in entertainment: how things have changed and how they haven’t.

Something horrible has happened next door. With those children. And their parents. And the chains. So Sheila, then Helen, then Erica, Cathy, Kathy, Miranda, Patty, Julie, Linda, Allison, Martha and Bebe just stopped by to check in, drop off some comfort food, and hear how Brenda’s holding up. I mean, she couldn’t have known. Right? NEXT DOOR is an explosive, darkly comedic, and layered (like lasagna) dissection of pseudo-feminist self-actualization rhetoric and the pleasures to be found in proximity to pain.

Welcome to the Unity and Hope Conference. A gathering of the most persecuted, tortured, and misunderstood people in the entire world. They call themselves Targeted Individuals, and they are victims of a vast and covert program of systematic torture, surveillance, and harassment by global intergovernmental powers. Over the course of this weekend in the woods outside of Boston they will discuss strategies to take down the deep state perps, bring awareness to their plight, and despite their suffering stay human. The Targeted is a comedy about connection, denial, the ideas we let consume us, and the itches we just can’t scratch.

After the coronavirus crisis forces a major regional theatre to go remote and lay off half their staff, their remaining box office associates must attend an emergency Zoom training session from marketing on how to cold call patrons to solicit donations while promoting the theatre’s thrilling new slate of online content.

A woman’s day goes from bad to worse when paint starts inexplicably falling from the sky. A stranger she meets in the park may or may not be to blame. In a colorful, violent struggle over whose words have power, the woman fights to discover the trick to make the paint drop, but does the man even know the trick himself? What power does language wield—in the theater and the world—and how might that power change hands?
