Chasing Waves is hilarious and heartbreaking with gorgeously messy characters. Quinn Eli masterfully unravels these characters with their hopes, desires, and fears. They are so real we fear and cheer for them as if the live next door. Brilliant.

The Boy’s Club is an engaging and suspenseful play that draws the audience into a world that never feels safe. And there are good reasons for that.

”Juggling with Mr. Fields” is seeing a legend come to life. Jennifer O’Grady deftly shows W.C. Fields as a man past his prime, indulging in self-sabotage in career and relationships. In this play, Fields is not just a man on the screen, but a living, breathing person whom we grow to care about as if he were our own grandpa. Well done.

Emily Hageman play “Character Arc” is authentic in its dialog of things said and not said. As this family struggles with what is best for each member, they know there is not a good solution, only the “least worst”. The childhood roles we play in our families take us into adulthood. This play mirrors it all.

In this short play, we see an entire family relationship through the years unfold before our eyes. Quick paced dialogue between this father and son leaves us hoping that it is never too late.

There are lines that cannot be crossed. A stranger helps Ciara see this more clearly than she sees it herself. A lesson in love and respect.

A lovely, rhythmic piece that shows how our relationships are eternal and reflective of nature. Would be so much fun to stage!

A heartbreaking story of love and loss from the early days of the AIDS epidemic. Paul Donnelly transports us back in time, where we see each character vividly, smell the sea air, and feel the helplessness only love can know.

“Overqualified” is the world of today as so many intelligent, educated, and worthy folx attempt to enter the workforce. It’s not enough to be themselves, but to play a game that masks who they are to prove they can be what someone else wants— if only they knew what that is! And mom.

Lucy Wang creates a tremendous script for young audiences and their parents. Fun facts hidden amid jokes and puns will have actors and audiences smiling from the first line to “end of play.”
