For generations, Trolls have watched over the Transitional Bridges, demanding payment from
humans as they leave childhood and cross into adulthood. Stink, a trainee, is struggling with
their role in this crazy process. Stunk, a veteran, helps Stink understand what's really going on
(and what growing up really means). A play examining what happens when someone loses their
innocence, "Beware! Trolls!" provides laughter through the tears and the encouragement that
even in the hardest times, identity is not something you can completely "lose."

In this one-woman-show, Katherine reflects on her time in a (fictional) rural American Christian cult and how she fell victim to her mind, family, and society. It’s “Black Swan” meets “Every Brilliant Thing", relying on magical realism, improvisation, audience interaction, and music to tell a heartbreakingly healing tale. It is a story that asks the audience, "What does it mean to be a victim?" and explores the choices people have when reclaiming their story.

In an extreme form of confession, The Clarified Church of the Cross drugs 18-year-old Mira Vance, putting her in a hallucinogenic coma. Mira’s hallucination takes the shape of a court room occupied by the people of her past. She rushes to the stand to defend herself, the overbearing Judge deciding what sentence best matches her sins. A coming-of-age story that examines the impact religion has on young women, the journey of reclaiming one’s identity, and radical self-acceptance… The Trial of Mira Vance dives into the dark nature of “innocence” while encouraging the pursuit of authentic joy.

BANG! A rat is dead in the alleyway. Two rats are left with the body. Out of fear of being framed for the murder by the corrupt rat cops, they scurry to hide the body, but soon discover there's more to this case than meets the eye.

Lily and Jared are (supposedly) enjoying their 2-year-anniversary on a cottage getaway... until supernatural forces threaten to ruin their time together (and their relationship). A mysterious messenger appears and warns the couple that a monster, named The Unraveller, is on his way. There are two identical items hidden in the room that can stop them. Will Lily and Jared find the items and save their relationship? Only time will tell.

When a young congregant disappears from the Clarified Church of the Cross, Father Michael must find a way to keep his community from breaking. It’s a simple enough task, but everyone around him has their own agendas... and secrets. The Mother of the missing congregant, Katherine, experiences a psychotic break. The younger associative pastor, Father David, struggles to balance his commitment to the priesthood with hidden romantic feelings for another congregant. Father Michael fights to regain control, but visions of his own son haunt his every waking moment. Maybe a lack of control is what this community needs. Only time and confrontation will tell.

Harriet was never good at being alone, especially now. One night at 3 am, Harriet faces her grief (and her first “adult” break-up) by re-telling Shakespeare's Hamlet all by herself. Through it all, she can’t help but wonder how much more complicated Hamlet’s life would be if he was... I don’t know... like her.

Yup, you read that correctly. This is the "bitch" monologue (where being a bitch is the best thing in the world).

Just a young person being nice. What more could you ask for in the face of betrayal?
