  • Jane, an employee at a big tech company (you know the one), has been placed on leave after becoming the subject of a viral video. She arrives in the office of Loyd, a crisis therapist, determined to be reinstated to the job that gives her life meaning. Featuring Scott Greer (most recently seen at Exile in Red by John Logan) and Arianna Gayle (the understudy from the Broadway production).  What Vulture called “A slick, cleverly crafted drop-tower ride,” JOB is a psychological thriller that zooms in on two careerists of different generations, genders and political paradigms to examine what it means to be a citizen of the internet and our obligation to help the people who need it most.

  • THE GREAT PRIVATION - "How to make ten cents into a dollar" by Nia Akilah Robinson

    In 1832, a mother and daughter keep vigil at a grave by The African Methodist Episcopal Church in South Philadelphia. Today, at a summer camp on the same grounds, a new, yet not entirely different mother and daughter sing camp songs and try to keep the daughter from getting expelled. As the mother in each generation tries to protect her family, both the living and the dead, timelines collide and secrets and souls become buried and revealed. What Talkin’ Broadway called “Joyous. A Lesson for our times.” The Great Privation (How to flip ten cents into a dollar) is a darkly comic play about our nation’s long practice of harming Black bodies in the name of scientific progress, our responsibility to time, the importance of truth, and the role joy plays in living with a history we cannot change.
