SAY GOODNIGHT, GRACIE
by Ralph Pape

THE GOAT OR, WHO IS SYLVIA?
by Edward Albee
This is a tale of a married, middle-aged architect, Martin, his wife Stevie, and their son Billy, whose lives crumble when Martin's love is focused elsewhere. The play focuses on the limits and boundaries of loyalty and understanding. Through showing this family in crisis, Albee challenges audience members to question their own moral judgment of social taboos.
BOOM
by Peter Sinn Nachtrieb
"Sex to Change the Course of the World"—a grad student's online personal ad lures a mysterious journalism student to his subterranean research lab under the pretense of an evening of "no strings attached" sex. But when an alleged major global catastrophic event threatens to strike the planet, their date takes on evolutionary significance and the fate of humanity could hang in the balance. An epic and intimate dramatic comedy that explores the influences of fate versus randomness in the course of one's life, and life as we know it.
GIDION'S KNOT
by Johnna Adams
Over the course of a parent/teacher conference, a grieving mother and an emotionally overwhelmed primary school teacher have a fraught conversation about the tragic suicide of the mother's son, Gidion.

As his story is slowly uncovered, the women try to reconstruct a satisfying explanation for Gidion's act and come to terms with excruciating feelings of culpability.
