WEEK 2 July 21 - 23: Extraordinary Mysteries Written by Peet Cocke, Directed Jeremy Cole
Extraordinary Mysteries is an existential romp through time, space, and chaos, among a gathering of bewildered and wandering souls -
most of whom don't have the slightest sense of where they are, where they are going, or where they have been.

WEEK 3 July 28 - 30: Pinned Butterfly Written by Adam Douglas, Directed by Peet Cocke
When the members of BKPRIDE decide to hold the very first Brooklyn Gay Pride March, a handful of secrets ignite, turning what should be a celebration of self into a scathing dissection of bisexual erasure, prejudice within the LGBT community,
and what happens to love left out in the sun.

Our new 2017-18 Season
Almost, Maine
Written by John Cariani
Directed by JanLee Marshall
October 12 – 28, 2017
On a cold, clear, moonless night in the middle of winter, all is not quite what is seems in the remote, mythical town of Almost, Maine. As the Northern Lights hover in the star-filled sky above, Almost's residents find themselves falling in and out of love in unexpected and often hilarious ways. Knees are bruised. Hearts are broken. But the bruises heal, and the hearts mend - almost - in this delightful midwinter night's dream. Tickets coming soon...
