PLAYS:

H*LL HATH TURNED OVER. F*CK
(SHOW #1)

by Brandon Bautista
Directed by Sarah Shin
In a post-apocolyptic, God stricken world on fire cause Texaco left the air-fryer plugged in, a Gen Z nun and a seminarian (baby priest, duh) contemplate the new meaning of their lives and journey into the remaining remnants of the American past: cancel culture, mukbangs, and Hollywood, to find it. A satire of the American Western Social Media experiment, false escapism and the threat of mukbangs.


RE: WRITING
(SHOW #2)

by Caitlin Frazier
Directed by é boylan
While we always carry the weight of the past, the present can still be fun and loving. Re: Writing is a story about the ethics of storytelling—who gets to tell your story and how—but it’s also a story about trust. Dylan and Jane are not people who have gotten to choose everything in their lives, but they have chosen to trust each other.

 

THE LAMBS OF THE BRONX
(SHOW #3)

by Angela Reynoso
Directed by Leandra Torres Santiago
Two estranged fraternal twins from the Bronx, sharp-witted and feisty Renata and hot-headed and impulsive Casimiro, are chosen by a vaudevillian humor filled bounty-hunter named Chilo, for the world-renowned 100th annual sacrifice ritual, which guarantees the survival of all humankind. Which of the twins will prove their life worthy, or unworthy, before Chilo and the audience makes a choice?

 

RIND GRIND
(SHOW #4)

by Anita Parrott
Directed by Amaal Saifudeen
Rind Grind is a conversation between three different iterations of skin on the same body coming to terms with their mortality and ability or lack thereof to make a change.
