The Flatlanders
After fourteen years of living together, Ronnie and Michael decide to get married at an inn in the Pocono Mountains. They are forced to break into a stranger’s cabin when their car slides off the road in a blizzard. With no phone, internet, or television they are forced to do something they haven’t done in years: actually talk to each other. During the course of the evening they begin to question whether or not to actually go through with the wedding.
Creditors
CREDITORS is the suspenseful tale of two men who meet at a seaside resort in Sweden—a sculptor and a mysterious stranger—only to discover that they have something unexpected in common; a woman. In Wright’s adaptation of Strindberg’s forgotten masterwork, all three characters engage in a deadly game of wits, opening old wounds and inflicting fresh ones. Written in 1888, the play still bears its ferocious sting, and is reminiscent of the most contemporary erotic thrillers with its blend of toxic desire and wicked intent.
cityscrape
Provocative, hilarious, and unexpectedly tender, CITYSCRAPE is a new play that dares to ask: does sharing a vibrator collection make you officially co-dependent? Roommates Kitt and Kat are willing to do anything for the sake of their art… even if it means destroying the friendship that keeps them afloat. A love letter to surviving your first year in New York, CITYSCRAPE examines what it means to truly be “seen” by another person—and what happens if the version of ourselves that’s reflected back is an egocentric monster.
Goat Blood
Pablo and Owen thought they were in for a simple double date with two women they’d just met at a bar. Instead, under the cover of night, something ancient is watching them. Something hungry.
For Pablo, the darkness hides more than just nerves—it holds a past he’s spent years trying to outrun. When the Chupacabra emerges from the shadows, the night turns to terror, and their evening spirals into a desperate fight for survival. But this is no ordinary monster. It is hunger and grief. It is guilt and memory. It is the thing Pablo has feared facing ever since the night he lost his little brother.
As the creature closes in, the men must confront not just the beast, but their own buried truths—about where they come from, what they want, and what they are willing to do to stay alive. Because sometimes, the most relentless monsters are the ones we carry inside.
Walden
In the near future, Stella and her fiancé, Bryan, are waiting at their remote cabin for Stella’s estranged twin sister, Cassie. Raised by their astronaut father to be NASA scientists, the twins have taken different paths: Cassie has just returned from a successful moon mission, while Stella left NASA behind. When Cassie arrives, old conflicts reignite, forcing the sisters to choose between life on Earth or pursuing a future in space, as humanity’s fate hangs in the balance. WALDEN is a thrilling and engrossing new play that wrestles between the gravitational pulls of duty and desire.
Wells and Welles
In October of 1940, two years after Orson Welles’ infamous War of the Worlds radio broadcast, Orson happened to be at the same hotel as H.G. Wells in San Antonio, Texas, on the same day. Orson is desperately trying to raise money to finish shooting Citizen Kane, and comes to H.G.’s room to ask a favor for his PR. But H.G. is still furious over Orson’s prank. Orson is 25 years old, H.G. is 75. Two men at the beginning and end of their careers battle it out. Based on true events.
The Past, A Present Yet To Come
An ambitious young family man plans an elaborate trick on his old miser of an uncle, Ebenezer Scrooge. To help, he enlists a sarcastic and morally suspect female theatrical producer, and a mumbly writer, who hasn’t had a hit since Nicholas Nickleby.
Rooted
Emery is happy living in her treehouse, communing with her plants. Her sister Hazel is miserable, working at the only diner in Millerville to support herself and her sister. Luanne is yearning for something, anything to bring meaning into her life. When Emery’s YouTube videos of her plant experiments accidentally start a cult—a CULT!—all three women are plunged into a different type of chaos, and each one of them has to find a way to live—and to decide what to believe.
The Last Wide Open
This 2-hander play with music explores the multiplicity of the immigrant experience through the lens of an earnest meditation on love and the metaverse. Lina and Roberto’s lives intersect and parallel as three alternate realities unfold. The play renders the near hits and misses of two worn out restaurant workers and the mystical ways the universe conspires to bring us all together. Think: Groundhog’s Day meets Frankie and Johnny.
