During one hot Texas summer at a Charismatic Christian camp, an idealistic counselor works to shepherd the senior girls’ cabin along their journey to make an authentic connection with something bigger than themselves, only to be confronted with disillusionment of her own faith. A visceral ode to female desire, submission, rebellion, and growing up in a religious culture that's obsessed with purity.

When Poppy's estranged granddaughter, Nell, suddenly arrives on her porch in the middle of the night, the two form an unexpected bond deeper than blood and memory. Tarot cards spill secrets, songs carry memory, and the porch itself becomes a threshold between realms as nature's many guests, and spirits, make their presence known. By dawn, both Penelopes leave changed. Rooted in porch-sitting traditions, oral history, and folk magic, THE PENELOPES is an intimate two-hander that honors intergenerational kinship, the rituals we create to survive, and restoration of the matriarch.

Estranged from her pastoral family, Zoey is a prodigal daughter on the run from her Evangelical past and the Hellmouth she must fight her way through. An unruly parable that reverberates through time, space, and realms, beckoning you to face the wicked bitter beast(s) in your own life, especially the one looking back in the mirror.

On the eve of a highly anticipated grand opening of a beloved yet politically controversial fast-food empire, one hundred fervent devotees gather in the parking lot for an overnight campout to earn a year of free large combos. As the night unfolds, it’s clear there’s a fox in the chicken coop. Jade, the newly appointed store manager, must find the source of anarchy before the flock devolves into utter chaos. HOLY CHICKEN SANDWICH is a comedic mystery of celestial proportions that explores themes of identity, consumerism, and division––a play that invites audiences to examine indoctrination and uncover what’s really in the secret sauce of devotion.

After the sudden death of their housemate, four teenage girls living in a group home try to combat their grief and their guilt. A poetic drama about the chrysalis of female adolescence that demands our attention be on the youth of America who are raising themselves in the shadows of a broken system.

Rapidly expanding through the farm fields of central Texas is SpaceBound’s Rocket Development and Test Facility. This tender drama follows four siblings across the span of four Sunday mornings as they navigate their proximity to the billion-dollar commercial industry.

SPACE BOUND was originally commissioned in 21/22 by The Ensemble Studio Theatre / Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Science & Technology Project
