  • A new musical by Caro Dubberly

    Cody is barely scraping by: stuck in the endless cycle of minimum wage poverty, self-medicating with weed and beer, and avoiding telling their extremely religious, cancer-ridden mother that they are an atheist. Then there is the therapist they can’t remember ever meeting who is an enigmatic combination of various 20th century rockstars, the nagging feeling that their best friend Anna is hiding something from them, and the horrifying demonic activity happening all around Cody that no one else seems to notice. A Guide to Modern Possession is a new musical that boldly confronts style and genre to investigate the all too experienced realities of living with PTSD, while also paying homage to musical theater magic.

  • Original songs by Oren Levine. Performed by Oren Levine and Barbara Papdendorp.

    A cabaret revue of original songs (with a couple of covers) that reflects on the joys and challenges of modern life and modern love. The songs explore self-confidence and self-doubt, how we care for our friends (but sometimes a bit too much) and how we express our love (but sometimes in the wrong way).

    “GO” is a physical theater performance rooted in the European traditions of Mime and Clown. Through body language alone, the piece tells a story that transcends cultural and linguistic barriers, proving that our humanity is a shared experience, not an isolated phenomenon. This universal language of the body becomes a unifying force, especially vital in a world increasingly fractured by political extremism, which often emphasizes our differences rather than our common ground.

    Did you know lotus flowers bloom in mud? As they grow, the mud rolls off of their delicate petals as they unfurl toward the light.

    Lotus: A Quarantine Solo Story follows the unfolding of a young woman quarantined with the virtual reflections of her once “normal” life. Quickly, the content she’s consuming from screens morphs into an echochamber, trapping her in a chrysalis of death & rebirth as she questions everything she's been taught about who she is and what constitutes her worth. Lotus interrogates the relationship between perception & truth, mind & body, and space & time.

    Prey Most Difficult is a modern retelling of the Irish myth of Oisín, Ireland’s greatest poet who fell in love with a fairy princess and returned from the Land of Eternal Youth and his life with her only to discover that three hundred years had passed and all of his friends and family had passed him by. My take on the story is a dark comedy about family and poetry and the ways in which we hurt each other.

    Content warnings: Lotus evokes images of self-harm along with moments of partial nudity.

    Identical twins Hilda & Helga are the blonde-haired, blue-eyed ideal- at least according to Uncle M, the researcher-turned-father-figure who supervises their highly controlled children’s home in 1940s Germany. After accidentally being exposed to American movies and music, the H Twins become convinced they’re destined to be vaudeville stars. But as they develop their song-and-dance acts and fret about impending adulthood, they grow less and less identical- and more and more questioning of their “ideological education” and the experiment in which they’ve been raised. The twins tell their story via a darkly funny, musical, reality-bending variety trunk show.

  • A play by Ché Navïn Arrington. Directed and produced by Gaelyn D. Smith.

    This play examines what happens when a person’s Mind and Heart have a desire to protect, but two different ideas of what that means. The healing process after sexual violence can feel like having to re-itnroduce yourself to yourself and the world around you. Healing is not easy and it is definitely not linear. Too often, stories around sexual violence try to create a logical pathway for an audience to follow, This show immereses the audience in the process of Oprah coming back to herself. Thus, centering the actual survivor narrative over the audience’s need for logical and linear storytelling. The play also challenges us to think critically about consent, body image and what it means to be a supportive friend and parent.
