While considered a “loser” at school\, Jackie is lovingly embraced by her online fandom community: the “Thieves.” In an attempt to publicly humiliate Jackie\, high school bully\, Quinn\, devises a catfishing scheme where she poses as “Willow\,” a new stan on the block. As Quinn becomes emotionally invested in the fictional world of Star Thieves\, Willow and Jackie’s relationship progresses and they plan to meet at the fandom event of the year: Comic Con. What will happen when Jackie realizes that her online bestie is actually the bully from her everyday life? \n  \nGet Tickets\n\n\n  \n  \n\n\nGuts\nby Rachel Greene \ndirected by Shalee Cole Mauleon \n \nCan six contestants on a hit reality weight-loss competition find self-love and communal healing in a place designed to make them hate themselves and their bodies?

Do they have the guts? \n  \nGet Tickets\n\n\n  \n  \n\n\nMox Nox\nby Patrick Gabridge \ndirected by Alexandra Smith \n \nMox Nox – In a world of rising water\, everyone desperately needs love and higher ground. \nIn a world of rising water\, two sisters reunite at their family home. Mira\, the caretaker sister\, had to weather her mother’s death alone\, and holds every childhood slight so close that she is literally burning from the inside out. Sister Deedee has returned to bring her fiancé\, Pike\, to higher ground\, even as her memory vanishes. A play of lyrical magic and visual surprise\, with characters who desperately need love and dry land. \n  \nGet Tickets\n\n\n  \n  \n\n\nChoose & Celebrate\nby Catherine Giorgetti \ndirected by Devon Whitney \n \nWhen violence permeates the 1970s queer community in Boston\, Teresa’s activism and personal life converge and her relationships are thrown into disarray. \nIn 1973 Boston\, Teresa grapples with the realities of gay life: how to support her best friends Eric and Christopher in their union ceremony\, how to deal with a homophobic straight friend who doesn’t understand her\, and what to do when violence permeates her community. Inspired by stories from Gay Community News and the real queer people who lived in 1973 Boston. \n  \nGet Tickets\n\n\n  \n  \n\n\nCreature Feature\nby Micah Pflaum \ndirected by Hazel J. Peters \n \nA young man transforming into a monster flees the austere citadel of his birth to seek the sorcerer of the woods. \nCreature Feature is a deconstruction of John Milton’s court masque “A Masque Performed at Ludlow Castle\,” (commonly known as “Comus.”).  The Shepherds of the Citadel warn their charges never to venture into the nearby woods. They tell the story of a sorcerer who dwells there\, corrupting travelers into monsters. But for an acolyte hiding his own transformation\, braving those woods could be his path to answers. He discovers a realm of wild magic and revelry\, but when his faithful friends pursue him into apparent danger\, he must confront his fear that he will bring disaster to all he loves. \n  \nGet Tickets\n\n\n  \n  \n\n\nHitch\nby James McLindon \ndirected by Donovan Holt \n \nA white man in his 30s learns that the young biracial hitchhiker he has picked up is not at all what she seemed … and vice versa. \nLane\, a 36-year-old white man\, picks up a young biracial hitchhiker in upstate New York on a summer’s morning. Dee is wary\, thinking he’s hoping for a casual hook-up\, but she also desperately needs a ride; he says he stopped because she looks scared\, an impression that is soon borne out. As they drive on\, the lies they tell each other about who they are\, where they’ve been and where they’re going\, slowly begin to unravel as they learn from each other about missing fathers and missing daughters and families. In the end\, both realize they need to face their demons … and decide whether to turn back or keep going. \n  \nGet Tickets\n\n\n  \n  \n\n\nHow to Kill a Goat\nby Mireya Sánchez-Maes \ndirected by Daniela Luz Sánchez \n \n“Packed with humor\, music\, and memory\, How to Kill a Goat is a celebration of the stories we tell and the people who tell them.” \n“The best way to get to know New Mexico is through its music!” In How to Kill a Goat\, Mariana takes the audience on a wild ride through her life as a bilingual Chicana in the borderlands. Packed with humor\, music\, and vivid characters\, Mariana shares stories of slaughtering goats\, fitting bras\, falling in love\, and facing loss. With each vignette\, the play asks: Why do we tell stories? And how do we keep our culture alive? \n  \nGet Tickets\n\n\n  \n\n\n
