| | Dead Man's Cell Phone
By Sarah Ruhl
An incessantly ringing cell phone in a quiet café. A stranger at the next table who has had enough. And a dead man – with a lot of loose ends. So begins Dead Man’s Cell Phone, a wildly imaginative new comedy by MacArthur “Genius” Grant recipient and Pulitzer Prize finalist Sarah Ruhl. A work about how we memorialize the dead – and how that remembering changes us – it is the odyssey of a woman forced to confront her own assumptions about morality, redemption, and the need to connect in a technologically obsessed world.

| | But Why Bump Off Barnaby?
By Rick Abbot & Jack Sharkey
This lunatic show poses a fascinating mystery. When Barnaby Folcey is murdered at a family gathering at Marlgate Manor, it transpires that he had a motive to murder everybody else, but no one had a reason to want him dead. While dying, he scrawled the letters "b-a-r," which can implicate everyone. While the bizarre group frantically tries to unmask the murderer, people vanish, poison is found in the sherry, and the police take forever to arrive. Meanwhile, there's a secret treasure to be found, a mystifying limerick to decode, and all sorts of doom to be avoided before the killer is finally unmasked and destroyed using one of the funniest methods ever seen on a stage.

| | The Christmas Express
By: Pat Cook
"This is the most hopeless place in the world!" Hilda intones as she and Satch, her assistant, argue over what time it is. She dreams of faraway places and only finds tedium in running the Holly Railway Station. That is, until Leo Tannenbaum drops in out of nowhere the day before Christmas Eve. Suddenly, an old radio that hasn't worked in years springs to life, the local group of carolers (which usually yowls like a gang of wet cats) begins to sound like the Morman Tabernacle Choir and the whole town gets the Christmas spirit. Coincidence? Or is Leo doing all this? Even Satch changes his tune when it turns out that Leo might be on the run. This nostalgic theatrical greeting card is full of eccentric small town characters, wise-cracking their way to finding the true wonder of Christmas. And on the way, they make us all wish we could take a ride on The Christmas Express.

| | The Fairest Flame
By: Stacy Ericson
Set in 1430 when Joan was a prisoner at the Castle of Beaurevoir. A simple set and costumes will evoke the period while subtly reminding us that the themes of political intrigue, religion, women’s roles in society and mental health are very much modern issues. The characters vividly express relatable emotions and reactions to conflict, power struggles and personal identity. This play dives beneath the well-known story of Joan of Arc to surface personalities and feelings relevant to our audiences.

| | Exhit Laughing
By: Paul Elliot
When the biggest highlight in your life for the past 30 years has been your weekly bridge night out with the "girls," what do you do when one of your foursome inconveniently dies? If you're Connie, Leona and Millie, three southern ladies from Birmingham, you do the most daring thing you've ever done. You "borrow" the ashes from the funeral home for one last card game, and the wildest, most exciting night of your lives involves a police raid, a stripper and a whole new way of looking at all the fun you can have when you're truly living.

| | Love/Sick
By: John Cariani
A darker cousin to Almost, Maine, John Cariani’s LOVE/SICK is a collection of nine slightly twisted and completely hilarious short plays. Set on a Friday night in an alternate suburban reality, this 80-minute romp explores the pain and the joy that comes with being in love. Full of imperfect lovers and dreamers, LOVE/SICK is an unromantic comedy for the romantic in everyone.

| | All in the Timing
By: David Ives
A series of short plays talking about the complexities of the English language is its confusion and complications to others. These plays are comedic in nature and have different ways to express these language problems. Sometimes language can be silly and sometimes it doesn’t make sense, but we always need to communicate and what better way to communicate than with language! It sounds silly and repetitive, but so does language. There are monkeys, Phillip Glass, philosophers, and Philly cheesesteaks all on one play!
