| A hilarious hot-button comedy by Karen Zacarias.
You can’t choose your neighbors. In this brilliant new comedy, cultures and gardens clash, turning well-intentioned neighbors into feuding enemies. Pablo, a rising attorney, and doctoral candidate Tania, his very pregnant wife, have just purchased a home next to Frank and Virginia, a well-established D.C. couple with a prize-worthy English garden. But an impending barbeque for Pablo’s colleagues and a delicate disagreement over a long-standing fence line soon spirals into an all-out border dispute, exposing both couples’ notions of race, taste, class and privilege. | Buy Tickets | |

| H.H. Holmes, born Herman Mudgett, moved to Chicago and quickly turned to dark endeavors. A counterfeit medical student, untrained pharmacist, grave robber, and grifter, Holmes fed his dark inclinations and hunger for infamy building a "murder castle" in Chicago where he was reputed to have tortured and killed anywhere between 27 and 200 victims. In this gothic musical re-imagining, H.H. meets his comeuppance as the ghosts of the women whom he prayed upon rise up to make their voices heard and their deaths avenged.

In the fall of 1867, Herman Melville’s oldest son, Malcolm, kills himself in their home in New York City. The official report is “accidental,” but the family knows otherwise. In aftermath of loss, revelations lead to recriminations and survivors cling to their own psychic life rafts. Bessie Melville believes her famous father shares guilt for her brother’s suicide. Will his posthumous novel offer the family redemption?
