Nora: A Doll's House
- U.S. Premiere directed by Emma Gibson -
Nora is the perfect wife and mother. She is dutiful, beautiful and everything is always in its right place. But when a secret from her past comes back to haunt her, her life rapidly unravels. Over the course of three days, Nora must fight to protect herself and her family or risk losing everything.Henrik Ibsen's brutal portrayal of womanhood caused outrage when it was first performed in 1879. This bold new version by Stef Smith reframes the drama in three different time periods. The fight for women's suffrage, the Swinging Sixties and the modern day intertwine in this urgent, poetic play that asks, "How far have we really come in the past hundred years?”

Endlings
- Regional Premiere directed by Kalina Ko -
On the Korean island of Man-Jae, three elderly haenyeos—sea women—spend their dying days diving into the ocean to harvest seafood. They have no heirs to their millennia-old way of life. Across the globe on the island of Manhattan, a Korean-Canadian playwright, twice an immigrant, spends her days wrestling with the expectation that she write “authentic” stories about her identity. But what, exactly, is her identity?
“Fascinating. Audacious. Deftly satirical and utterly on-target.” The Boston Globe -
I, Banquo
- By Tim Crouch -
This solo show retells the story of Macbeth from the perspective of Banquo, Macbeth's best friend and fellow thane. Banquo, who is murdered in the original play, speaks from beyond the grave to Macbeth, asking the audience to consider how they would have handled the prophecies made to Macbeth.
“Just imagine,” the title character instructs near the top of Tim Crouch’s I, Banquo. "Imagine your best friend for life," he continues, "your brother-in-arms who has both saved your life and you his, imagine this closest of all friends is actually evil. And you’ve been utterly blind to it." Those are the worst kind of betrayals, Banquo tells us; the ones that leave you unable to trust even yourself.
