MEASURE STILL FOR MEASURE

Written & directed by Jessica Kubzansky

World Premiere Production


In this play-within-a-play, a renowned director rehearses a spectacular new production of Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure, “the original #metoo story.”  But backstage, there’s an even bigger drama.

UNRIVALED

By Rosie Narasaki

Directed by Margaret Shigeko Starbuck

A co-production with Playwrights’ Arena

11th century Ladies-in-Waiting Murasaki Shikibu and Sei Shonagon are, to this day, two of Japan’s most beloved writers. They also kind of hated each other. This play is about friendship, heartbreak, and what it means to be a female artist.

HOW THE LIGHT GETS IN

By E.M. Lewis

Directed by Emilie Beck

Four lonely people, their stories written on paper, earth, and skin, find each other when one of them falls apart. A beautiful, haunting, and richly human world premiere.
