In Medieval Europe, criminal trials weren’t just for humans. Animal “criminals” were also put before a judge and jury. After her sister is killed by their pig, a peasant farmer wades through the miry bureaucracy of the 15th century criminal justice system in order to get her pig back. French Pig is Sarte meets Lecoq Mime meets My Cousin Vinny. It’s a play about mourning, existential pigs, hiding in plain sight, and the eternal struggle to give meaning to/prove the pointlessness of tragic events.

Ethan Couch has lived in a bubble of pampered privilege for his entire life, so when he’s convicted of killing four people while driving drunk, he and his mother Tonya flee to a resort in Mexico rather than face the consequences. In this self-imposed state of limbo, Ethan pays hotel clerk Daniel $1000 to be his friend and help maintain the facade of his prior life. But as the unlikely pair drink, sing, and stumble through the night, delusions of how the world works melt away as quickly as their cash flow.

Passive-aggressive antics, bad parental advice, and ill-informed gestures of kindness create a "White Guilt Perfect Storm" that threatens to make the course of true love a rocky road indeed.

When the Exterminator arrives, Jonas and Hattie soon realize that the only allies they have may be each other. Widower explores what happens when villains turn into heroes, enemies turn into allies, and loss is transformed into something approximating redemption.

Two coworkers, a security guard, and a woman about to rob the factory collide in this play about manual factory labor, the thrill of rebellion, dancing, old people candy, language, unions, and meaningful handshakes.
