Winter is on its way, and the squirrels are restless. Mistrust is growing between the rich Gray Squirrels and the outcast Fox Squirrels. When a wily outsider gets in the mix, he ignites an epic animal kingdom soap opera teeming with rebel armies, conspiracy and divided family loyalties. No squirrel will go unharmed in this deliciously demented new show.

Passengers aboard the cruise ship Halcyon Daze find themselves trapped at sea when the "unknown pneumonia" infecting the public is discovered to be a new virus called COVID-19. As it rapidly spreads, survivors find themselves either quarantined in their cabins, or free to roam the ship--at their own risk. To ease the rising tension, the ship's Captain orders one of its medical staff, Achebe, to form a grief group for passengers. Those who join include Ghost, a Vietnam veteran; Lorena, a woman trying to recover from personal trauma; Juanita, who wrestles with her faith; Ricky, a young man who is obsessed with 70's rock music; and Nick, a stand-up comic who also serves as the ship's Cruise Director. They don't know when they can escape the shipboard corona chaos that ensues, when they will ever set foot on dry land, and why they are all having intense dreams inhabited by scary puppets. But as they say, "Bon Voyage!"
August 15th - September 6, directed by Jeannine Gaskin
The son. The mother. The husband. Can they ever really know each other—or will there always be a chasm between them? When a crisis forces a gay Black man, his white lover, and his estranged mother to come together in face of the devout patriarch and insidious ideology that threatens to tear them apart, will the delicate foundations of their relationships begin to show cracks? Or will their personal bonds strengthen in the face of adversity? This uncompromising, intelligent, and lyrical play is a frank and profound exploration of family, self-discovery, and acceptance.

Ever wondered what would happen if you took Bram Stoker’s legendary vampire tale and put it into a blender with Mel Brooks, Monty Python, and The 39 Steps? That’s just what happens in this lightning-fast, laugh-out-loud, 90-minute, gender-bending romp. When her sister Mina falls ill with a mysterious disease of the blood, Lucy Westfeldt and her fiancé, Jonathan Harker, enlist the help of famed female vampire hunter Doctor Jean Van Helsing. Their hunt for the dangerous and sexy Count Dracula abounds with clever wordplay and quick-change antics. Five actors play over a dozen roles in this bloodcurdlingly hilarious send-up of the literary classic.

Written by a woman known for her spectacular storytelling skills through ensemble work (like her well-known Tony-winning "Metamorphoses," dealing with Greek mythology), Zimmerman tackles the dark underside of a group of lesser-known fairy tales in this highly theatrical piece.
What happens when a child, left with a babysitter, discovers that the babysitter is literally an ogre? And the babysitter begins to read from a book, and the characters in each tale materialize? Come see this telling of tales with, as the LA Times described it, "decidedly adult chills."
