A complaint about a sexually explicit performance leaves a NJ community college dance team to decide how far they’re willing to go to protect their freedom of expression. A play about the fickle nature of spectatorship and the alchemy of wanting.

A would-be birthday hang for Rae’s 33rd at a delightfully grim dive bar gets derailed when Diana, her best friend, decides to assist a rat stuck to a glue trap in the bathroom.

An underfunded abortion clinic in rural New York debuts their newest initiative to reach young people in a conservative small town: "Teen Night."

As the employees dutifully keep the clinic open, exchange Secret Santa gifts, and try to pass the time, they don't notice someone outside is watching.

On a snowy day after Christmas, three NJ animal shelter employees hold down the fort.

This play is about animals, the humans who disappoint them, and the unexpected individuals who try to make things right.

FreePlay is a growing feminist sex toy company, popular in part to its deconstructed take on the modern dildo, whose founders pride themselves on their non-phallo-centric aesthetic. Run by best friends since college, engineer Amy and sculptor Sara, the Brooklyn-based business is intimate and casual, their office shared by aspiring artist (and ulcerative colitis activist) Travis, and their devoted intern, Emma. As Amy starts IVF and Sara begins fantasizing about Travis, the equilibrium the pair had thought they reached begins to crumble. What ensues is a story about engineering, the painful intimacy of female friendships, dildos, and the people who make them.

Join us for the wedding reception of Vincent and Gina. They’ve known each other for three years, got engaged on a beach, have a dog named Frank, and spent a fuck ton of time planning this shindig. And its hashtag (#invinciblelove). Specifically, join Table 14. A mixture of cousins and work friends and childhood friends, it’s pretty clearly the leftover table. As the reception starts, the sound system fails, and the table tends to Megan’s head wound (a bird flew into her head), the fault lines lingering at the corner table become clear. Over hors d'oeuvres, dinner, and dancing, what starts out as a basic Jersey Irish-Italian wedding transforms into something a little more complicated. "Welcome to the Wedding of Vincent and Gina" is an investigation of what makes a wedding a wedding-- and the unexpected moments that cut through the bullshit and leave us re-evaluating our own relationships.

Two women are bound by a devastating act of violence. A play about relationships and survival in the time of Trump- all on the horizontal axis.
