“**** (four stars) Montserrat Mendez’s follow-up to Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest is the rare sequel that doesn’t disappoint. The upper classes remain frivolous and atwitter as Mendez picks up Wilde’s story. The endearing Gwendolen (Emma Gordon) and Cecily (Amy Forney) suspect their husbands are having affairs – so, as any good wife would do, they disguise themselves as men and spy on their spouses at a gentlemen’s club, slipping in and out of their false identities to choruses of laughter from the audience. Mendez’s script weaves a lattice of clover wordplay and has great fun blowing up and rebuilding the fourth wall. Barely pausing to inhale, the fine cast reels off Mendez’s verbiage with aplomb, in accents whose tongue-in-cheek snootiness is perfectly matched by the wry smile that Mendez flashes at Wilde.” Ashley Hoffman – Time Out

A story that captured the Nation. A Nation that sent them to their deaths.

Julius and Ethel Rosenberg are on trial for their lives. Their crime: Collusion with the government of Russia, to steal the secrets of the atom bomb from the Manhattan Project in Los Alamos, New Mexico. Weaving backwards and forwards from the Rosenberg trial to the choices that would set down the path of treason. A Trial of Spies is the riveting true story of people who lose faith in their country, when that country ignores the Holocaust of Jews, and the deadly choices and betrayals that lead to their executions.

Amidst the 2020 pandemic, beleaguered trans author Rebecca Roman Redd, the writer of a popular YA series of books about Billy Carver, a young werewolf/werewolf hunter, battles a scathing review and the chaos of adapting her work for film, all while hosting a tumultuous ensemble: her sister Emma May, estranged lover Priscilla, ex-husband William, fiancé Christopher, assistant Tristan, and a Puerto Rican Hollywood executive with grand designs. As secrets unravel and old flames rekindle, the line between fiction and reality blurs, culminating in a deliciously perilous twist when the executive reveals his true werewolf nature.

A fractured family battles the relentless specter of war, addiction, and buried guilt as Luz Colón’s PTSD, embodied by the sharp-tongued, ever-haunting SombraLuz, forces her estranged children to confront the jagged edges of love, faith, and generational trauma with grim hilarity and desperate grace.

In a tightly controlled future that is still 1984, an AI named Reagan enforces strict curfews to protect humanity, Margaret, a determined mother, questions the true reason children vanish after dark—only to uncover a chilling secret

A Spanish Telenovela, waiting for Godot, Rosario Soledad, ensconced in a convent and clinging to her faith in the return of her forsaken lover, Pedro Mano, is met instead by a man far more desirable. Now, torn between devotion and temptation, she must decide: will she continue to pine for the absent, or surrender to the charms of the present, where sin and salvation become deliciously indistinguishable?

Ten Minute Play

In a tangled forest of fate, four formidable women—Medea, Hermia, Nora, and Lyubov—stumble into each other's lives. Amid sharp wit, failed love, and far too much self-reflection, they navigate betrayals, bad decisions, and the occasional existential crisis. It’s a cocktail of drama and comedy, shaken with a dash of biting humor.
