The Pitchforks
by Andrew Kramer
A World Premiere directed by Eva Ne Brettrager
October 4 - 26, 2024
Thursday-Saturday at 8PM
The camera holds on a lingering shot of the buzzing neon sign and you know exactly where we’re at - a shitty roadside motel.
A group of old friends reuniting to escape wife and life. But as the sun sets and the heat rises, old ghosts begin to walk among the living. Asking questions about queer representation in pop culture, The Pitchforks is a tender love-letter to and vicious indictment of horror movies and the people who love (and hate) (and make) them.
"Dark, sexy, haunting. Never lets you get comfortable while it drives to some killer, unexpected locations."

Songs Without Words
Written and Performed by Jennifer Vosters
directed by Michael Cotey
Thu Aug 29, 2024 - Sat Aug 31, 2024
You may have heard of the great composer F. Mendelssohn. You may not have heard that there were two. Equally talented siblings Felix and Fanny Mendelssohn were each other's chief supporters and best friends. But under the constraints of an unforgiving world, there was only room for one to be great.
Songs Without Words is the funny, tragic, and heartfelt story of one artistic soul inhabiting two very different artists. Featuring a solo actor's tour-de-force performance as both Fanny and Felix, Songs Without Words wrestles enduring questions of gender and genius, family and fame, siblinghood and the power of art.
About con-con:
What if theatre weren't a mirror reflecting the familiar, but an opening into unknown territory? What if there were no fourth wall?
What if, instead of going to the theatre to watch a play, you crossed the threshold into the world of the play to experience it?
Theatre that expands the imagination and extends the conventional boundaries of language, structure, space, and performance that challenges the conventional notions of what theatre is.
What sort of theatre would this be?
