Trauma Play by Abigail Miller
It’s just a play….
Britt Benson is flying high as her buzzy, autobiographical new play gets national news coverage before it even premieres. But once the cameras start rolling the play is no longer center stage and she finds the childhood trauma she experienced suddenly publicized and scrutinized. Determined to make it to opening night, Britt tackles the s***storm head on— will she get there or will everyone else’s version of her truth become her new reality?
Hilarious and horrifying, this meta-theatrical roller coaster will have you asking what is real and does it matter.
SHREW’D
In her solo show SHREW’D, writer/performer Kate Abbruzzese responds to The Taming of the Shrew’s themes of marriage, love, partnership, and power. Witty, poignant and provocative, the regular suspects of Padua’s most problematic play delve into their pasts and worry about their futures on the morning after Shakespeare’s most complicated conclusion.
Nebula by Chelsea Altman
NEBULA is a fairy tale of selfhood, weaving fantastic realism with intimate grit. While a family grapples with their child’s gender identity, the child keeps talking to anyone who will listen. She knows who she is, but how can she get all she needs? NEBULA explores the pitfalls of wishing, the hard choices we make to recognize ourselves and the sacrifice that comes with being part of a family.
