IN THE ROOM, WAITING by Thaddeus McCants
directed by Tyler Gardella

Everyone who comes into a hospital is forced to wait; Malcolm and Aisha are no different. As they await the results of a pregnancy evaluation, Malcolm and Aisha's decision whether or not to bring a life into this world escalates past the point of no return. As people file in-and-out from every walk of life, and every corner of crazy, they unknowingly have a resounding impact on our young couple’s decision, and maybe on the rest of their lives. A moving and funny look at fate, choice, compassion, and figuring out when the right time to start a family truly is.

RED BASTARD: LIE WITH ME

RED BASTARD: LIE WITH ME

Beware. Red Bastard is back! The dangerous, seductive comedy monster returns to New York with a brand new show to expose the lies we tell our lovers and those bastards who made us to lie in the first place.

Do you dare enter his funhouse of twisted reflections? Love, Lust, Fear and Freedom await as the UK's most controversial clown seduces you with the shocking truth about the liars sitting right next to you.

TRIGGER WARNING: The author himself hesitates to present this show! Not only is it despicable. It’s embarrassing. It’s complicated- with no easy answers and no happy ending. In fact, the only possible reason you would come to this show is…

It’s a show about you.

It’s been said no one is safe at a Red Bastard show. As the uninitiated queued for his sold-out Edinburgh runs, rumors ran rampant of audiences tearing off their clothes, quitting their jobs, proposing marriage- even getting divorced under Red Bastard’s hypnotic control. Could one man have all this power? Only those who enter may know.

Those who pay the price may expect games, traps and a very Dirty Pony as the Bastard you thought you knew transforms before your very eyes. It's the truth! Well, most of it...

CLARABELLE, 86

6/9/2017

CLARABELLE, 86
A new play by Anna Fox.

When a loner dies, it is the job of the city to go through her things. Clarabelle B. Jones was one of those solitary souls. Her legacy is now in the hands of the two city administrators assessing the things she left behind. Cindy and her new hire, Miles, don their hazmat suits and begin the work of making meaning out of Clarabelle's life--and their own. Do we linger in the places we inhabit after were gone? After all, we are what we own. Right?

HAZMAT. SUIT. REQUIRED.
