Plays

Per Gint: A Sort-of-Adaption of Peer Gynt

On a search for his true authentic self, Per ventures through mountains, troll kingdoms, over oceans and beneath cities, disrupting weddings, villages, and a quite questionable psychological institution, until ultimately arriving back to a home that no longer exists. This radical re-telling of Ibsen’s Peer Gynt explores themes of Individualism, community, and how to live a life.

Cast Size: Variable, with doubling encouraged (38 Characters Total)

Untamed

Bianca thinks everything in Padua is fun, easy, and fair. When her sister Kate is sold to Petruchio, she begins to take in the town quite differently. Inspired and including parts from Taming of the Shrew and Lysistrata, Untamed digs into the messiness of protest, revolution, and feminism.

Baby Box

Co-written with Michelle Polak & Miranda Calderon, with dramaturg Thomas Morgan Jones

A nurse, a mother placing her child in a baby box, and a mother waiting to adopt a child–these three women weave their stories of before and after a baby is placed in a safe haven box outside of a hospital.

There are just three opportunities to see this production, which is a unique blend of movement, lyrical text, and powerful prose.

After spending her life haunted by her father’s mysterious disappearance at the hands of the Stasi, Hannah has the opportunity to set the record straight: she finds the man who spied on her father. Demanding answers and getting far more than she bargained for, Hannah takes a trip into the past.

Set in present-day Berlin and 1980s Divided Berlin, Agency investigates the relationship between the communist vs. post-Wall generation while exploring, intimacy in lonely human-beings, and the walls we build around ourselves.
