ON A STRING by LyaNisha Gonzalez

Director: Lydia McBee Reed
Dramaturg: Lindsay Rigney

OUTBOUND by Garret Milton
Director: Cole Wimpee
Dramaturg: Dillon Rouse

Two young friends contemplate life and death in a train yard. A short play about memory, the failures and frustrations of expressing vulnerability, and what makes us run.

SCABIES by Michael Moriearty
Director: Cory Lawson
Dramaturg: Allison Roberts
Choreographer: Sulma Benetiz

Scabies follows the struggles of a young homeless woman whose fiancé has been stolen from her by a sinister, inscrutable alien presence. She fights against the temptation to give in and conform to the evil force herself and be reunited with the man she loves.

CUB by Jessica Smith
Director: Hillary Boyd
Dramaturg: Emme Schooler
Choreographer: Courtney Rickel

Cub traces the rapid escalation and demise of a romantic relationship, exploring the ways in which power dynamics are established early and calcify quickly. The play charts how a person can slowly subjugate him or herself to an abusive partner, and the long shadow that trauma can cast on a life.
