  • Last Call
    23 Apr. 2024
    "Last Call" is a relatable and theatricality comedy about how we handle what life throws at us (or not).
  • The Prince's Shadow
    23 Apr. 2024
    Jillian Blevins' "The Prince's Shadow" gives us a deconstructed look at one of Shakespeare's famous rulers. Blevin's takes Henry V to examine the role masculinity plays not simply in Shakespeare's world, but through our own, and translates it beautifully in less than ten pages.
  • The End Is Nigh (And Yet, So Far)
    23 Apr. 2024
    Greg Mandryk combines true humanity with an over-the-top scenario to deliver a comedic and enjoyable play. The characters are grounded in the midst of the absurdity, and the pacing of the play allows for the characters to evolve rapidly.
  • Venus Needs Men
    23 Apr. 2024
    "Venus Needs Men" is a campy and fun depiction of how women, sometimes, indeed need men in their lives, even if it is for theater productions.
  • 2 Bdrm 1 Bath
    21 Apr. 2024
    "2 Bdrm 1 Bath" is a sweet comedy about how every relationship has its highs and lows, and getting through only makes them stronger. This would be lovely to see live!
  • The Mitzvah
    21 Apr. 2024
    David Shaw draws up a character who seemingly is juggling her sanity and her innocence in both hands, which makes for an well-crafted monologue for a lucky actress to perform.
  • Promises, Promises
    20 Apr. 2024
    "Promises, Promises" is a touching exploration of male friendships through two best friends who can't live without each other. When their friendship is tested, we see how even platonic relationships can be even stronger than romantic ones.
  • altitude
    20 Apr. 2024
    Daniel Prillaman gives a unique combination of old-school absurdist theatricality with this stoner comedy adventure. The characters are memorable, and, through their distinct characteristics (and names), actors have the perfect opportunity to dive headfirst into the madness.
  • The Golden Egg Cream Gold Club
    20 Apr. 2024
    "The Golden Egg Cream Gold Club" appears silly on the surface. But, as the play progresses, themes such as classism and superiority rear their heads in a comedic manner that entices the audience to look beyond their own understandings of them.
  • Stripers are Running
    19 Apr. 2024
    David Shaw's "Stripers are Running" is a look at how manhood isn't synonymous with toughness but with vulnerability. The dialogue is rhythmic and playful which would be a treat for actors to perform.
