Baptist Passover
By Craig Winberry
Monday, July 6th
7:30pm
When a queer son returns to rural Arkansas after a local shooting, he is pulled back into the family, faith, and buried violence he thought he escaped. Baptist Passover is a dark comedy and family drama about old wounds, religious performance, inherited shame, and the dangerous cost of telling the truth. As grief cracks open the Walker family’s carefully protected myth, Huey becomes the one person who can either keep the silence or break the pattern for good. Raw, funny, unsettling, and deeply human, Baptist Passover asks what it really takes to free a family from itself.

Canterbury Tales

Wednesday, July 8th
7:30pm
Players re-enact six stories from the Canterbury Tales, written by Geoffrey Chaucer in the late 14th century (the Merchant, Miller, Reeve, Wife of Bath, Knight, and Nun's Priest). Some of the tales are bawdy and farcical (like the Miller), some serious and tragic (like the Knight), and there's even a cute little animal fable (the Nun's Priest). Along the way we'll find the stories still have a lot to say about sex, love, marriage, social status, youth, and age. And for an encore we'll slip in a bonus tale (the Pardoner), a great parable about greed, revenge, and death.

Dr. Greg Stein is pumped. He’s ready. He is so ready to introduce his newest invention, THE VICTOR—a revolutionary device that can permanently erase a woman’s most traumatic memory. And after he conducts a clinical trial super quick? He can take his pretty baby into mass production. But after he tricks a seemingly naive woman into being his test subject, Greg is anything but pumped. Because the woman he picked? She is not naive. In fact, both she and THE VICTOR are far more powerful than they seem…
​
Very loosely inspired by Frankenstein, Gas Light Therapy is a twisted but witty exploration of mental health, identity, and the importance of recognizing that good intentions should never excuse dangerous actions.

MOONBODIES is an erotic horror play set in a nightmarish near-future New York City, where Shelley, a vibrant nightclub performer battling lifelong body dysmorphia and eating disorders, enrolls in an experimental drug trial that slowly transforms her into a werewolf.

Blending visceral body horror and surreal puppetry, MOONBODIES interrogates shame, body politics, and being fully seen.
