Cry It Out, staged reading
by Molly Smith-Metzler
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.
No ticket needed. Just show up.

Wicked Bitter Beasts, staged reading
by Kira Rockwell
Estranged from her pastoral family, Zoey is a prodigal daughter on the run from her Evangelical past and the Hellmouth she must fight her way through. An unruly parable that reverberates through time, space, and realms, beckoning you to face the wicked bitter beast(s) in your own life, especially the one looking back in the mirror.
No ticket needed. Just show up.

The Moors
by Jen Silverman
A hopeful governess arrives at a remote mansion on the English Moors after exchanging romantic correspondence with the compelling Mr. Branwell. But when she enters, the only residents appear to be Branwell's two spinster sisters, a maid (or is it two maids?), and a despondent dog. No man to be found, nor child to be cared for. A wild story which simultaneously embraces and satirizes the Gothic lit genre, honors the enduring legacy of the Bronte Sisters, feels contemporary and historic all at once, and most important, explores the terrifying human desire to be intimately seen and known.

Great Expectations
by Charles Dickens
adapted by Gale Childs Daly
Full of adventure, excitement, humor, horror, obsession, and passion, it’s a bittersweet story of ambition and becoming… falsehoods and misperceptions… devotion and heartbreak… loyalty and forgiveness… surprises and epiphanies… loss and redemption… and of learning what it takes to come of age in a world far more complicated than imagined.
