About The Play: The reality show "Bootstraps" was cancelled weeks ago, and nobody told the cast. But that doesn’t mean there’s nothing to be gained - and after all, chaos is easier to edit. “Everyone is equal. No one is safe.” How many lies are in that tagline? A dark comedy about performance and power.

About The Play: Let's change the world, but first let me take a selfie... Rose Spencer has just achieved the ultimate young intellectual's dream: becoming a staff writer for a prestigious New York literary/criticism journal. She sees a way to participate in what may be the defining activist moment for her generation, but too quickly she must learn to recognize the difference between sincere action and skillful self-promotion. The New Sincerity is a poignant comedy about fighting for the greater good whilst tweeting about it.

About The Play: Set in the Midwest in 2001, The Binding tells the whimsical story of Isaac, a closeted, religious teen. Isaac's carefully controlled life is interrupted when his childhood imaginary friend, Poppy, returns on the eve of his sixteenth birthday. As Poppy begins to unravel Isaac’s tightly wound secrets, both must learn to escape the smothering identities they have chosen. The Binding is a play about the ecstasy and pain of believing in something that can’t be seen.
