March 24, 2017 at 7:00 p.m.
Pin* and the Blue Fairy is written by noah kat baus in collaboration with director/choreographer Adin Walker. The project was previously produced at Dixon Place with OUTLIERS Theatre Co. Pin* and the Blue Fairy is a new play based on Collodi’s T”he Adventures of Pinocchio” that examines the wooden puppet’s journey to become a proper boy through the eyes of a contemporary trans teenager named Blue. As Blue attempts to find their own path, they turn to Pin’s tale, and their stories intertwine in a search for understanding, transformation, and personal truth.

Johnny and the Devil’s Box
Written by Douglas Waterbury-Tieman
Directed by John Hurley
Co-Directed and Choreographed by Jennifer Jancuska
April 10, 2017 at 7:00 p.m.
There is powerful dramatic potential in the tangible excitement that folk music and dance awaken in an audience. Johnny and the Devil’s Box focuses on a young fiddle player whose skill is so great he invokes the jealousy of Lucifer himself. Inspired by the myths of fiddlers’ dealing with the Devil, the piece takes a hard look at the association between a virtuoso’s egotism and hellish temptation. Told largely through American folk inspired music, the show is built to stir the audience’s urge to get up and dance

By some magical means or fate, we are drawn to the middle of the woods on a dark fall night where a band of outcasts tells us of a gnat who falls in love with a beast, a boy’s tongue that is lost in sap for a decade, of a milkmaid who learns to fly… These tales are warnings for the forlorn: Never tread in the deadly land of Love. These are Discouraging Stories for Lonely People.

Relationships are hard. Mouse infestations are even harder.
Join Claire and Hugh as they balance both: expertly avoiding emotional baggage, navigating painful interactions with over-the-top exes, and concealing small furry corpses in strategic hiding places. But as the body count rises, Clare and Hugh struggle to ignore the secrets between them (that and the overpowering stench of rotting flesh). Is romance the greatest exterminator of them all? Or is this one infestation that won't be contained...

The Tragedy of Recognition is a modern-day Greek tragedy, which explores the politics of gender and sexuality within the context of the pursuit of Fame, and ultimately, the sacrifices that comes with. Adopting a Greek Theatre structure including Chorus “We The People”, and incorporating a multitude of styles of verse, multimedia, movement and a fluid sense of time, Tragedy seeks to provide an intimate story with far reaching, universal implications. What is ‘Celebrity’ to us now?

Artist in Residence: Natalie Novacek
Margaret
Co-Created and Dramaturgy by Madilynn Garcia
Directed by Natalie Novacek
August 7, 2017 at 7:00 p.m.
Margaret is a creative editing of William Shakespeare’s War of the Roses tetralogy (Henry VI, parts 1-3 and Richard III) that focuses on Margaret d’Anjou’s journey from meek princess to fierce warrior, strategist, leader, and finally lone, mad women. This bold reframing of political history spanning three generations gives focus to the women who made great impact, but held little agency. Margaret provides thrilling opportunities for meaty female roles, new female narratives, and a strong feminist perspective using only Shakespeare’s original text.

Artist in Residence: Alex Tobey
Baal
Co-Collaborators: Moss Madigan, Dan Giles and Alex Tobey
September 11, 2017 at 7:00 p.m.
Baal is a poet. Baal is a murderer. Baal has an insatiable appetite. Baal drinks too much. Baal likes a boy. Baal is afraid. Bertolt Brecht’s first play, written when he was 20 years old, tells the story of a provocative and daring young artist trapped by his own ambitions, hungry for new experiences, and a never ending desire to conquer it all. And then he dies.

Deep down, who is Peer Gynt? Is he somebody at all?
In this spare version of Ibsen’s epic drama about a lost soul’s fantastical quest to find himself, the ensemble works together to portray Peer (or is it Peter?) and the people he meets, invents, and becomes.

November 30, 2017 at 7:00 p.m.
The Triumphant is a new investigative theatre piece that tells the untold of gays and lesbians living in Egypt today. Devised by a collective of New York-based Egyptian-American theatre artists of various disciplines, the piece adapts an “interview theatre” model inspired by The Civilians to examine the lives, loves, challenges, and triumphs of being homosexual in one of the world’s largest Muslim countries.
