    I love this play. It IS: humor, fury, and sex in a funhouse world of body obsession. It is NOT: apologetic.
  • ALEXANDRIA
    3 Mar. 2018
    Alexandria is an intimate, empathetic exploration of navigating one's sociopolitical differences in the direst of circumstances. There is so much to appreciate about this play: its diverse representation; the way it steers away from cliché, allowing for very truthful ironies and idiosyncrasies; the way it encapsulates and dramatizes the polarity of America today; the fact that each character has something to learn, to name a few. This play questions what we let go and what we cling to when we are stripped of the basic systems around which we have built our lives.
  • Shut Up, I'm on a Diet!

    Catherine Weingarten has a way of dropping you right into a wild world the minute you step into her play. Shut Up, I'm on a Diet! launches us into a land of wacky extremes and extreme choices. This play is funny and strange and, at times, menacing.
  • Soldier Poet
    2 Oct. 2017
    Soldier Poet tackles the tricky subject of war with grace and virtuosity, all the while acknowledging the very real and gritty elements of its subject matter. Darcy Parker Bruce's language is poetic and evocative, and her characters are strong and unique.
