In this savvy new comedy by Mara Nelson-Greenberg, a husband and wife discover their teenage son has confused a diagram of a vagina for a map of the Middle East. What else is there to do? Hire a vagina tutor!  THE CLITORISH explores “truthiness,” the relationship between the sexes, the unwritten rules of the world...and who gets to write them.

Jack would do anything for Sam. Sam would do...anything. And around this simple premise, the legendary Caryl Churchill -- called “the greatest living English playwright” by Tony Kushner -- slyly depicts a deeply dysfunctional relationship between two men...or, perhaps, the special relationship between America and...America. Taut, elliptical, and unforgettable. DRUNK ENOUGH TO SAY I LOVE YOU isn't a show you'll want to miss.

Someone once said that an actor must eat all the food in the world, drink all the alcohol, and sleep with all of the women. But it wasn’t Shakespeare, and it certainly wasn’t Hamlet!  A mad rollercoaster ride excavating some of the world’s most famous playwrights -- Shakespeare, Beckett, Moliere, Cervantes, Stoppard, De La Barca among them -- This Is NOT Hamlet explores the limits of ourselves and the stage, the thin line between reality and illusion.  The piece won European prizes when it debuted in 2016 at Sofia’s famed Theatre Sfumato.

Edith and Harold unexpectedly meet on a park bench...and romance, long-delayed, is in the air! But is it too late? In Charles L. Mee’s wistful, surprising and engaging play, FIRST LOVE, a chance encounter is a catalyst for change; it’s both a last chance and a new beginning, navigating the emotions and pitfalls of new love and embracing a potentially different future.

In Jean Genet’s gripping, claustrophobic masterpiece, DEATHWATCH, -- which preceded his later works like THE MAIDS, THE BLACKS and THE BALCONY -- two prisoners and a condemned man vie for supremacy in a prison that, both literally and metaphorically, turns inward to upend our notions of class, crime, and desire.  Genet’s deft and thrilling exploration of identity and society may be set in the direst of circumstances, but its issues and struggles could very well be the people next door...or even ourselves.
