In a near future surveillance state, two impoverished thieves don their masks to evade detection for one last score: a tool called an Obfuscator that will supposedly wipe their existence from all databases, allowing them to be free from their overlords — and their respective pasts.

But their score is not what it seems when they're trapped by a third party with ulterior motives. Locked in an underground bunker rife with masks, this stranger from another age begins to question both of them, unraveling what they know about themselves, their world, and each other.

When 14-year-old Billy Grabowski is forced to attend yet another Pioneer Scouts campout by his depressed father, he expects the usual: another weekend of Troop 69 getting lectured by their overbearing adult leader, super-scout Scoutmaster Peters, while they attempt to play videogames and avoid responsibility. But tensions rise to a boil right as the power goes out, and the boys are left without electricity, cell signal, or anything to distract them from their frayed relationships. As the adults spin into crisis, the boys must work together to survive the woods, each other, and whatever "being a man" even means.

THE PIONEER SCOUT'S GUIDE TO WILDERNESS SURVIVAL is a comedy about the ills and triumphs of masculinity in modern times, and how it's shaping and harming our boys—and what we could do to fix it.

It is the year 1518, and in the city of Strasbourg, a young woman named FRAU TROFFEA has started dancing uncontrollably for days on end, locked into some kind of trance state. Her condition spreads to other townsfolk, leaving beloved town figurehead SISTER KEYERSBURG to call on an odd physician named PARACELSUS to investigate. As the dancers fall deeper into their sickness, fanaticism takes control—in the shadowed world the dancers share, in the sermons given by the local ARCHBISHOP, in the panicked streets as more and more people dance to their death. As the bodies mount, KEYERSBURG must fight through political and supernatural forces to save her city from itself.

An epic reimagining of one of history's most bewildering mysteries, THE DANCING PLAGUE was commissioned by The Right Brain Project for its 11th season and was first produced in the fall of 2016. A play rendered in movement and song, it asks if we can ever escape the plagues of politics, xenophobia, and self-interest, if faith can be a tool for healing as well as destruction, and whether what ails us comes from ourselves, our society, or forces beyond our imagining.
