Deepest Play Ever, The: the Catharsis of Pathos

Synopsis:
Before Mother Courage there was Mother LaMadre. In the Deepest Play Ever, an unrivaled masterpiece of modern Dramatic writing, our antiheroine Mother LaMadre and her rag-tag crew drag their wagon through the Fifth World War and the post-post-apocalyptic wasteland that is New Europe. Together they must navigate all the pitfalls (and rewards) of the Dramatic art of Drama to find the few remaining books the art-abolishing Evil Empire have yet to destroy and maybe, just maybe, find a way to replace violence with art. If the zombies don't eat them first, that is.

Let's Go

Synopsis:
Let's Go is an ensemble-created collage play exploring and responding to the themes, language, characters, and history of Samuel Beckett's defining masterpiece Waiting for Godot. As we struggle for patience in a rapidly-paced yet anxious contemporary era, what are we waiting for and why? What is the shared consciousness we know as reality, and what happens when our brains no longer adhere to it? As we investigate these questions-and invite audience members to be voyeurs into the exhilarating and odd process of creating a new theatre piece-we scream, we dance, we embrace Vaudeville, we stand to the right side of our left brains, we call our mothers. . .and we wait.

Townville

Synopsis:
Townville is a picture-perfect artist's community engineered for happiness, where everyone works hard by day to run the town, then makes art when the sun goes down. When Townville's enigmatic government requests a play to be performed for the highest authorities themselves, Townville's residents know they'd better put on a good show. As it becomes clear that secret-free Townville may in fact have a secret or two after all, a new theatre director arrives with a whole new vision for Townville's upcoming performance. And as Townville's population starts disappearing, life-or-death choices must be made if its residents want to live freely-or at all."
