Circle Mirror Transformation

In the small town of Shirley, Vermont, five strangers gather at the Community Center to embark on a unique journey as participants in the free-spirited Marty's “Adult Creative Drama" class. Schultz, a somewhat lost, recently divorced carpenter, Lauren, a self-conscious high school junior, Theresa, a vibrant former actress, and Marty's quietly charming husband James, are led through a series of acting exercises ranging from the heartbreaking to the ridiculous, creating a petri dish of hilarious details and antic sadness. Winner of the 2010 OBIE Award (OFF-BROADWAY THEATER AWARDS) for Best New American Play, CIRCLE MIRROR TRANSFORMATION is about real people exploring their lives through tiny leaps of faith and creativity. Playwright, Annie Baker won the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for her play, The Flick which is currently running off-Broadway.

Kingdoms of Democracy

Consider the current political climate in America; imagine it’s the Middle Ages, then surrender to laughter as it becomes clear that this absurdity is our reality. Boobs and Ninnies fight over chickens and eggs as the Kingdoms of Democracy teeter on the edge of disaster. The play provided much needed humor right before the November Presidential Election.

Grapes of Wrath

February 2017, John Steinbeck's "The Grapes of Wrath".
