PLUCK
August 19 & 20
Written by Jan Rosenberg · Directed by Molly Van Der Molen
It's 2003. Fourteen-year-old Cleo and Bea are twins. Cleo can't stop running away from womanhood. Bea can't stop running away, period. When we don't have the words for what we're becoming, we make up myths instead. A play about gender identity, dysphoria, twins, and monsters in the age of AOL.
YELLOW FACE
June 17 & 18
Written by David Henry Hwang · Directed by Daniel Eslick
"It’s a memoir – a kind of unreliable memoir." The play begins with the 1990s controversy over color-blind casting for Miss Saigon before it spins into a comic fantasy, in which the character DHH pens a play in protest and then unwittingly casts a white actor as the Asian lead. (New York Times)
THE MOTION
April 15 & 16
Written by Christopher Chen · Directed by Patrick Dooley & Perry Fenton
An incendiary new play exploring values and belief systems. It begins as a scholarly debate about animal rights, only to veer into something else entirely as questions turn much more intimate.
