The Grown-Ups
Join an intrepid group of camp counselors trying their best to mold the leaders of tomorrow when tomorrow is looking more and more bleak. The Grown-Ups explores the traditions that change us, what it takes for us to change them, and how to change yourself when you’re hopelessly, tragically not prepared for change. This darkly-comic and slightly-hopeful play takes us to that moment in time when you realize that you are now the Grown-Up.
Written by Simon Henriques & Skylar Fox
Directed by Lisa Denman

Thanksgiving Play
Who doesn’t love Thanksgiving? The food, the football, the …genocide? Four well-intentioned teachers and artists meet to create a children’s play that honors both Thanksgiving traditions and Native American heritage in this brutally funny, wickedly sharp satire by Indigenous playwright Larissa FastHorse. Taking on everything from wokeness to turkey, FastHorse’s play offers a heaping helping of fresh, funny takes on our cultural myopia. *This play contains strong language and depictions of violence, gun shots, and use of latex ballons.*

The Secret in the Wings
“Once upon a time”...a babysitter reads as a young girl listens. As he reads, the tales come to life on stage. The play explores common themes of childhood coupled with a wit and a humor that makes a bleak world seem not so terrifying.
Content Advisory: Based on Grimms’ fairy tales, the play includes references to and highly stylized depictions of murder, incest, betrayal, self-harm, infanticide, and cannibalism.
