Dec. 4 - Dec. 7
We’re turning 10 years old!
From our very first production of Much Ado About Nothing, to immersive theatrical parties, to bold Shakespeare stagings and—yes—our recent dive into thrillers, it’s been an incredible decade of experimentation, growth, and joyful collaboration.
To celebrate, we’re hosting a 10-Year Anniversary Festival at the Gene Frankel Theater, Dec 4–7!
We’re sharing two powerful, imaginative works in one special double bill:
Our Lady of the Clouds — written by Arístides Vargas, translated and edited by Salomé Egas, and directed by Salomé Egas & Brynne O’Rourke.
A poetic journey through memory, exile, and identity.
Séance — written by Ruthellen Cheney and directed by Mildred Gil.
A brand-new world premiere set in 1850s NYC.
Produced by Alexis Confer and Ellen Cheney.
TW: The production of SEANCE includes supernatural horror, disturbing imagery, and scenes of violence. This is not for the faint of heart or people under 13. Viewer discretion is advised.
Ten years in, we’re looking back with gratitude and forward with excitement. Here’s to the artists, audiences, and supporters who’ve been with us through every twist, turn, and transformation.
