APEbyDano Madden

A middle-aged man, struggling to become a parent, finds himself haunted by the spirit of his dead mother, creating even more distance in his already faltering marriage. APE is a play about ghosts, those who have died, those who never existed, and consciousness that lies inside of consciousness. The play explores the effect of memory on our essential sense of being and ultimately asks how it is possible to truly exist in the present moment?

Group; or Marlene is Dead, by Sofia Molimbi, is not your typical parenthood comedy. Set in modern day, Portland, Oregon, “Group” follows the lives of five parents and two professors, who are all desperate to salvage their rocky home lives. Professor Marlene’s parenting class becomes an incubator that either kills you or saves you. Structurally, the play moves swiftly from past to present, and back again, creating bitter sweet moments and a deeper level of understanding how we got "here.” This fast-paced tragicomedy is an honest portrayal of the struggles of relationships, divorce, fertility, and motherhood.

Red Line by Barbara Hume

Both historic and topical, Red Line takes place from 1938 to 1948 in St. Louis depicting the impact of segregation on two young men, one White and one Black, who share backyards in a segregated neighborhood.  Their friendship crosses many boundaries testing their friendship and the status quo of racism in their community.

Wife of Headless Man Investigates Her Own Disappearance By Yussef El Guindi

Salwa thinks she may have been drugged during her interview with tech giant Owen – a payback for her take-down articles about him and his company.  How else to explain the chunks of missing time and shifting realities that started taking place after meeting him, including returning home and finding her immigrant husband, Bassem, headless, but still miraculously living and talking. Sometimes we have to travel out of what we know to understand who we really are.
