2022-2023 Season
WITCH
Raging, hopeful, weeping: No matter how you leave Witch, you won't leave unscathed.
– Windy City Times
Mischief is afoot and the fate of the world is at stake in this smart modern fable. When the emotionally conflicted son of the local lord and an ambitious newcomer come into conflict, help presents itself to both of them in the same guise—as the Devil himself. But while these two young men take advantage of the Devil’s bargain to accomplish their own questionable ends, someone else in town stands her ground—Elizabeth, an outcast whom everyone believes to be a witch.

Everybody
This is theatre rather unlike anything you might have seen… unusual, unconventional and eye-opening… it is not only provocative and involving, it is also funny. Wildly funny, in fact.
– Huffington Post
A 2018 Pulitzer Prize finalist, this modern riff on the fifteenth-century morality play Everyman follows "Everybody" (chosen from amongst the cast by lottery at each performance) as they journey through life’s greatest mystery—the meaning of living.

cry it out
A deeply felt topical drama that takes audiences on an emotional roller-coaster ride that whipsaws through laughs, poignant tears and moments of monumental rage.

A comedy with dark edges, Cry It Out takes an honest look at the absurdities of being home with a baby, the power of female friendship, the dilemma of going back to work, and the effect class has on parenthood in America.
