Yellow Wallpaper adapted by Kathryn Funkhouser from the story by Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Directed by Archer Whitt

When Eleanor stumbles upon a hidden diary, she unlocks a family secret- and finds that danger lives closer to home than she possibly could have imagined. An ensemble of trapped spirits cracks open the door between generations. ​

Sound Scapes by Claudia Haas and Sarah Kraning
Directed by Ada Hall and Angel Garcia

Iris has synesthesia. She has no idea. At first, she simply thinks that everyone sees colors and shapes when music plays, but by the time she's a teenager, it's clear that others don't understand. Struggling to downplay the way she experiences the world, and worrying what it might mean to be different, the young artist is at war with herself until she meets a new friend - and he sees the colors too. An ensemble chorus of colors bring Iris' experience of discovering her neurodivergence to life in this triumphant, visually stunning coming-of-age story.

The Inexplicable Chaos Factor of Mia Gregory by Emily Hageman
Directed by Kathleen Chavira and Bovell

Liv is one of the most brilliant teenage mathematicians in the country, but she does not understand her best (and only) friend Mia. Like, at all. And now, she's doing this stupid play to try to figure it out. An incredibly moving and empowering story about the chaos we create, and the order we can find in it.

All In the Timing by David Ives
Directed by Stella Lufburrow

A collection of scenes- Sure Thing, where two people meet in a café and find their way through a conversational minefield but still fall in love. Words, Words, Words which recalls the philosophical adage that three monkeys typing into infinity will sooner or later produce Hamlet. The Philadelphia where a young man in a restaurant has fallen into a Twilight Zone-like state.  Variations on the Death of Trotsky, which presents the Russian revolutionary on the day of his demise, trying to cope with the mountain-climber’s axe he’s discovered in his head.​
