Where the Mountain Meets the Sea by Jeff Augustin, music by The Bengsons
What does it mean to be a father? What does it mean to be a son? And does re-tracing the steps of those that come before us help us learn who they were? Son Jonah decides to embark on the same road trip—just in reverse—that his father, Jean, and pregnant mother did before he was born. As father and son confide their hopes, fears, and anguish with the audience, a small band of musicians helps reveal their innermost feelings with beautifully raw music—stirring their spirits out of complacency, finding new answers by looking to the past, and comfort in their shared and separate identity.
Mambo Mouth by
A wildly fun and hysterical collection of characters from the mind of John Leguizamo. Playable by one actor or a small ensemble, Mambo Mouth excavates issues of adolescence, race, parenthood, and more.
AGAMEMNON. A failed actor/misogynist public-access character who takes letters, calls, and reenacts woulda-been screen triumphs and personal vendettas.
LOCO LOUIE. A funny cautionary tale about why you shouldn’t always be in a hurry to get older.
ANGEL GARCIA. A recently arrested man realizes that his behavior has consequences. PEPE. A man, cornered, tries to appeal to an officer by noting the contradictions of race in America.
MANNY THE FANNY. A woman shares how she’s taken care of herself with men. INCA PRINCE. A father tries to get his son to go to sleep with creative bedtime stories.
CROSSOVER KING. A Latino man tries to teach the audience about passing as a different race to be more palatable to white Americans.
Deep Blue Sound by
On a picturesque island in Puget Sound, we find a town in a crisis: The whales have gone missing. While (unofficial) Mayor Annie searches for a solution, Chris tries to get back together with Mary; John reaches out to help Homeless Gary; Leslie longs for a faraway pen pal; Ali has come home to care for her mother; and Ella has a secret she only wants to share with local journalist Joy Mead, who she barely knows. But what about the whales? Is their absence just a seasonal glitch, or is it a sign of our collective failure to take care of the Earth? DEEP BLUE SOUND is a funny and moving play about the connections we make—and the ones we long to make—to other people, and to the world around us.
Camp Siegfried by
It’s 1936 and a sixteen-year-old girl’s parents have made a decision: She will spend the summer at the Long Island family camp her aunt’s been going to for the past couple summers. To be honest, she is not really into it—everyone there is really excited about their German heritage, what with the oom-pah tuba music and beer flowing every night. So when a seventeen-year-old boy, who is certainly working hard to become a man, is the first to befriend her, they find in each other a burning passion that only grows hotter the more time they spend together. They feel understood, and almost nothing will stop their burgeoning love. Based on a real summer camp, Camp Siegfried is a true cautionary tale of the lengths, compromises, beliefs, and hurt we endure, and are willing to place on others, when intoxicated by the ecstasy of love and belonging.

The 4th play in Ike Holter’s Rightlynd Saga

After Zora experiences a violent run-in on the L, she and a ragtag group of vigilante citizens decide they have had enough of the senseless violence in the fictional 51st Ward. Realizing that they are the only people that can save themselves, they begin a training regimen and crime-fighting crusade that makes more demands of their friendships, relationships, and physical and mental strength and endurance than they thought possible. With comic book-style fight sequences and loads of grit and spirit, Prowess tests the limits of how one makes the world right.
Theatre People, or The Angel Next Door by
In this rollicking comedy, young Oliver Adams is on the brink of major success. His novel, The Angel Next Door, has been picked up by Simon & Schuster, and famed Broadway playwrights (and married couple) Charlotte and Arthur Sanders have already adapted his book for what is sure to be a huge stage hit. And who do they have their eye on as the leading lady? Margot Bell, of course, whom Oliver has written his novel about, though she does not know that fact nor the depth of his affection. When they all converge for a quick respite in tony Newport, Rhode Island, the thin walls of their well-appointed mansion reveal that perhaps the angel may not be so devoted, and Charlotte, knowing the power of theatre, does what she knows best to save their play, Oliver’s novel, and perhaps most importantly, his heart.
Breakneck Comedy of Errors by Timothy Mooney, adapted from Shakespeare’s Comedy of Errors
Shakespeare’s tale of romance, mistaken identity and twins gets turned on its head in this seemingly impossible adaptation where all roles are played by one actor. Guaranteeing a tour-de-force performance, audiences will revel in the high-wire storytelling of one person playing so many roles, double-crossing themselves, and falling in love all in one evening.
To the Bone by
After twenty years, the tough but deeply caring Kelly has finally arranged to meet the daughter she gave up for adoption in high school. Geneva, who has grown up with a fair amount of privilege, has been ready to meet her mother for years. When she arrives at Kelly’s decidedly blue-collar Boston home with her roommate from Emerson, she’s a little unsure what to make of her birth mother, aunt, and brother. The getting-to-know-you is a little more oil and water than desired, and when Kelly reveals why she has asked Geneva to come, it is not clear if their newfound relationship will last beyond this evening. Overflowing with tough love and plenty of heartfelt laughs, To the Bone proves that kindness is more than a shared family trait.
Accommodation by
The mother of freshman and rising athletic star Michael Newsome stops by his guidance counselor’s office for a meeting. While the administration is impressed with Michael’s record-breaking times in the pool, his mother is more concerned that he’s failing Mrs. Dawkins’ science class. She thinks his poor performance may be because there aren’t proper accommodations put into place to help with Michael’s learning disability. When Mrs. Dawkins joins the meeting, the ramifications of generational shifts in America’s expectations for education, parenting, and teaching rear their heads, to life-altering results.
