An often hilarious, very relatable story of loss and human connection, at once highly theatrical and eminently stageable. The central metaphor is both fanciful and heartbreaking and it lends this often poignant story a buoyant, transporting lift. The play rewards cunning but stripped-down approaches to staging.

Alternately raw and funny, LUCINDA'S BED is a masterfully assembled character study, built around a strong and surprisingly flexible design element and a fanciful but robust facility for metaphor. Eminently stageable, relentlessly involving and theatrically ingenious.

At once poetic and theatrical, WAVING GOODBYE is a finely drawn exploration of loss, parenthood, and the capacities (and limitations) of art.

A cunningly constructed play, propelled by a compelling mystery and with a warm and lyrical heart. In performance it pulls you into its world immediately and doesn't let go until the curtain falls ten minutes later.

A fanciful, witty and elegantly brainy origin story of two major historical figures -- semi-Stoppardian in its speculative storytelling and thought-provoking in its exploration of faith and integrity.

Yes, it's a keen satire of corporate culture, but more to the point it's also an opportunity for inspired kinetic lunacy that no ensemble with a talent for physical comedy should even think about trying to resist.
