Reeling from her sister’s death, Beth suddenly finds herself journeying through a world suspiciously resembling the film The Wizard of Oz. But with the yellow brick road sold to foreign investors after a financial meltdown, the Scarecrow revelling in his ignorant bliss, the Cowardly Lion acting like a paranoid sociopath, and the Tin Man embracing his emotional numbness, Beth wonders what role she plays in this classic story gone awry. Based upon the world and characters created in The Wizard of Oz, ‘Oz’ is a funny and sometimes heart-wrenching exploration of grief and perseverance on the road to acceptance.

Elizabeth Brendel Horn's Elektra tells an ancient story in a way that feels immediate and deeply familiar. At its heart is a young person trying to figure out who she is while carrying grief, anger, and the childhood trauma inflicted upon her-experiences that shape her sense of justice, loyalty, and self. Horn's language is clear, grounded, and emotionally honest, allowing Elektra to feel less like a distant myth and more like a teenager many of us recognize, struggling to be heard and to make sense of a complicated world.

The story you'll see tonight is one that hopefully stays true to the energy, spirit, humor and longing of the original one but attempts to be more here, now. It exists in an all-too-familiar landscape where originality's purpose is to be commodified. Like the original it asks, "In a world where sameness is used to consolidate, what happens to those that yearn to be different?" But unlike the original this piece tabulates and processes those that profess their uniqueness in, well, different ways. After all, in this room right now, that's who, most of us are. Different. Unique. Weirdos. Beautifully talented weirdos. This show is for all of you.

Wildsea Wildsea is a fragmented, poetic exploration of memory, love, performance, and loss. Framed as an improvised theatre event that begins badly and slowly finds its focus, the play drifts between childhood and adulthood, the living and the dead. Eight performers inhabit multiple roles, shifting fluidly between actors, characters, children, parents, lovers, and witnesses...
