Wednesday, January 17, 2024 (listed in performance order) Waiting, by Monroe Oxley. Directed by Julia Chereson. How does a playwright come up with an idea for a play? How does a playwright finalize an idea before moving on to the next one? How does a playwright stay on schedule? All these questions and more could possibly be answered in Waiting.

Adams and Teresa Johnson. A diagnosis is the Rosetta Stone to your body’s language. In 2015, Teresa was chronically ill and Gloria was mentally ill. By 2020, they were both… both.

Personal stories, politics, and poetry bring together the divergent experiences of two artists who go from empathizing with each other to feeling each other’s pain—all too literally. In The Space of ________, by Jonathan Castillo.

The intent is to safely visit the space we are in, experiencing nostalgia, grief, excitement, and to have the actors facilitate that journey as we share ourselves in memory and story.
