| SECRET ORDER is a psychological drama about the high-stakes world of medical research: the battles for funding, the need to stay at the top of the game, and the ends to which one will go for recognition and success. |
FIRST DAY deconstructs the hopes, anxieties, and many distractions of a young man on his way to his first day of work in the big city. The excitement of the city pulsing around him and his thoughts pulsing within drive this rhythmic, innovative new piece. |

Their story is a touching portrait of two young people falling in love against the backdrop of World War II-era America. |
The Kitchen’s fastest talking, most irreverent playwright and poet takes on the subject of Christmas in a new piece—one that’s not likely to be the next Hallmark holiday special. |
 |
 |

With a father who's obsessed with McDonald's and Marx, a sister who's a born again Christian, and a mother who warns her of the legend of the "cat baby," what's a good Indian girl to believe? Vijai Nathan takes you on a poignant and hilarious journey in this one-woman play about understanding faith in America. 16 & up |
In 1918, a street performer mesmerizes the crowd and a minstrel act is born. In 1976, a soul singer signs a three album record contract that will make him a star. In 1989, a boxer fights the bout that will determine his destiny as champ or contender. Entertainer's Eulogy is a theatrical requiem chronicling the rise and fall of African American entertainers. Extraordinary writer/actor Darian Dauchan tells a cautionary tale about the price of fame and the people whose lives are forever changed by it. 16 & up |
Accomplished actress Lee Chamberlin, an original cast member of the popular PBS program "The Electric Company," has worked on stage, television and film, and for eight years played Pat Baxter on daytime's "All My Children." Objects in the Mirror… is Chamberlin’s semi-autobiographical play about family ties and family secrets. A montage of beginnings, middles, and ends interconnected by 6 degrees of separation or less, it tells the stories of mothers and daughters who gaze into the mirror of the self and find a universal truth. 16 & up |
LAY OF THE LAND is Tim Miller's saucy, sharp-knifed look at the State of the Queer Union during a time of trial. It friskily gets at that feeling of gay folks being perpetually on trial, on the ballot, and on the menu.
Contains nudity. Appropriate for ages 18 & up. |
