THE GOAT
OR, WHO IS SYLVIA?
WRITTEN BY EDWARD ALBEE
DIRECTED BY KEVIN CLARKE
Martin has it all – a successful architecture career, loving wife, and son – but he also has a salacious secret. Martin is secretly in love… with a goat. Edward Albee’s Tony Award-winning tragedy edges the line of morality while exploring the limits of love and what is considered taboo in a modern society.

CONTINUITY
WRITTEN BY BESS WOHL
DIRECTED BY EMILIE WHELAN
Set on a Hollywood film shoot where the chaotic soundstage mimics the real-world climate crisis their big-budget movie addresses, the director, Maria, tries to keep her set – and herself – together in this sharp-witted, fast-paced comedy. Egos clash, secrets spill, and hard truths force the crew to look inward and ask, can we fix our climate catastrophe with movie magic?
Iphigenia in Splott
WRITTEN BY GARY OWEN
DIRECTED BY MICHELLE TALGAROW
She’s brash, reckless, and unapologetically self-possessed. Stumbling through life in the nowhere town of Splott, Effie – short for Iphigenia – numbs her days with hookups and hangovers. Life on the edge turns into a face-off with reality and its wrenching consequences. Inspired by Euripides’ Iphigenia in Aulis, this epic story is brutally honest, piercing, terrible, and tender, sometimes all at the same time.
A WORLD PREMIERE!
THE FALL SHOW
CREATED BY ERIKA CHONG SHUCH & CHARLES MEE
Long-lasting love is marked by both comfort and conflict. In The Fall Show, an elderly couple’s unexpected romance unfolds against a maelstrom of memory and movement. Lovers collide, chaos erupts, and tenderness persists in an intimate examination of love ‘til the very end.
the death of meyerhold
WRITTEN & DIRECTED BY MARK JACKSON
A revolution is on the march across our country. But whose revolution is it? We’re told it’s great—while artists and journalists are canceled for telling the truth. We’re told it’s about justice—while our friends, neighbors, and co-workers are disappeared in plain sight. Where are we—Soviet Russia?
The story of maverick theater artist Vsevolod Meyerhold and his era is surprisingly like the story unfolding on our streets today. Meyerhold’s fight for freedom in turbulent times is our fight.
ART THAT MEETS THE MOMENT
