Detroit
by Lisa D'Amour
Directed by Rachel Berney Needleman
"... a tense, terrific, funny new play." --New York Observer
In a first-ring suburb just outside a city that might be Detroit, Ben and Mary see sudden signs of life in the deserted house next door and invite their new neighbors Sharon and Kenny over for a barbecue. The quintessential American backyard party quickly turns into something more dangerous. These fraying people might be able to save each other, if they can just make it through dinner.
The New York Times called this dark comedy "rich and addictively satisfying".

by Gregg Ostrin
Directed by Emily Chase
It's 1964. The United States is in the fearful shadow of the McCarthy hearings. Homophobia and antisemitism are everywhere. And in a Broadway rehearsal room, the brilliant, battling artists Zero Mostel and Jerome Robbins must work together to create what will become one of the great American musicals, Fiddler on the Roof. How can they collaborate if they can't stand each other? And what is the true cost of creating a masterpiece?
