The Gift of BS By Dave Osmundsen Thursday, April 21, @ 7 pm William Johansson, age 46, is not exactly
living his best life. On top of his wife leaving him, his father dying, and
being fired from his job, he also realizes that he is Autistic. When he
reconnects with a former student who is also Autistic, he embarks on an
emotional journey of self-acceptance.

Classic Six By Leigh Flayton Friday, April 22, @ 7 pm Frances Nolan works as a live-in
nanny/researcher in Frank and Patricia McGuire’s Classic Six Manhattan
apartment. Twenty-five years later, Frances returns to the apartment and
faces questions about her motives: Is Frances merely curious to revisit the place

does she plan to expose long buried secrets?

a home what howls By Matthew Paul Olmos Saturday, April 23, @ 7 pm The Vargas Family is displaced from their
home. As parents Abrana and Manuel try to live off the land, the fear of the
outside world becomes a never-ending nightmare. Meanwhile, daughter Soledad
attempts an uphill battle to save the family's legacy, pitted against the
powerful gears of progress. |
Satellites By Erin Breznitsky Sunday, April 24, @ 5 pm Married couple Katherine & Mike are
each on a mission to save the world. She's a scientist studying climate
change; he's an astronaut exploring the unknown. When Mike's shuttle vanishes
in outer space, Katherine forges ahead alone, raising their children and
continuing her life’s work until Mike suddenly reappears without explanation.
As the couple struggles to adjust to his strange return, they're forced to
reexamine their entire relationship—while also facing an uncertain future. RSVP: Please indicate
the play(s) and number of seats needed in your request.
