Eat Your Young
for six actors
Lucia, Jelly, Ginger, and Quinn are four mismatched teens enrolled together in a new-age wilderness therapy program. Living in the wild proves to be tough, but their ridiculous, out-of-touch counselors are tougher, and the ground beneath their feet won’t stop cracking open. As supernatural forces make a devastating appearance, the quartet must band together and reckon with monsters—manmade and otherwise. This deeply chaotic, funny, evocative play explores truth, trans identity, and the defiant power of imagination.

Little Kingdom
for two actors
It’s the last show of the year, and seniors Angel and Francesca find themselves doublecast as Eddie Polish in the emotionally-charged 1940’s American classic The Trolley Problem at their historically all-women’s college. In three rehearsal sessions, Angel and Francesca scuffle and collaborate in equal measure to emulate their hero, a golden age era actor known as Il Montalbano. What begins as toying with the trappings of masculinity turns into swagger competitions and debates on the very nature of acting in this physically charged romp.
