Binding, The

Synopsis:
Set in the Midwest in 2001, The Binding tells the whimsical story of Isaac, a deeply closeted, religious teen. Isaac's carefully controlled life is interrupted when his childhood imaginary friend, Poppy, returns on the eve of his sixteenth birthday. As Poppy begins to unravel Isaac's tightly wound secrets, both must learn to escape the smothering identities they have chosen. The Binding is a play about the ecstasy and pain of believing in something that can't be seen.

Bump

Synopsis:
Ben and David appear to be the perfect couple, but they're missing just one thing to complete the Pottery Barn catalog that is their life: an equally perfect baby. When they ask Ben's flaky sister, Ally, to serve as their surrogate, they are shocked to find that she is already pregnant. As Ben and David's relationship begins to fray due to suspicion, the silent treatment, and a constantly ringing cell phone, Ally struggles to decide if her floundering career is worth sacrificing for a family of her own. Bump is a play about motherhood, unrealistic expectations, and birthday cake.

Orange Is the New Glass

Synopsis:
In a fairy-tale kingdom obsessed with pop culture and social media, fairy godmothers are lawyers and the Three Little Pig-arazzi chase celebrities. But when Cinderella leaves her self-absorbed prince and winds up in jail with an unlikely girl squad, she doesn't just cause a sensation--she starts a revolution. A warmhearted comedy full of clever characters.

subText

Synopsis:
Even though everybody on the planet is just a text away, getting your message across has never been more complicated. subText is a hilarious series of vignettes detailing the awkwardness of dating in the digital age, from capturing the perfect selfie to making a relationship Facebook official. At its heart, subText is a reminder that "love is a lot of things, but it is rarely a thing of convenience."
