The Totality of
All Things
Written By
Erik Gernand
Directed by
John J. Wooten
Thursday, June 6, @ 7:00 pm
Judith Benson is “teacher-famous” for the
award-winning student newspaper she proudly oversees at her small Indiana
high school, a program that extols truth and integrity in journalism. But
when an anti-gay hate crime occurs one fall, everything Judith believes
about inspiring the next generation of reporters, and the definition of
truth itself, is called into question.

The Mallard

Directed by
John J. Wooten
Saturday, June 8, @ 7:00 pm
Freya and Gillian are teachers who have
offended their school board and lost their jobs. Davis and Reagan are yard
sale fanatics in search of a priceless antique duck decoy, the Horace
Crandall Mallard. What follows is a fierce, funny and escalating battle
over a symbol that has wildly different meanings - intersecting the couple
in a journey that far surpasses the quest for treasure.

The Ancestry Play
Written By
Alyssa Haddad-Chin
Directed by
Kate Moore Heaney
Sunday, June 9, @ 3:00 pm
Samia never knew her father, and her
secretive Lebanese mother is more interested in watching Wheel of Fortune
than providing answers. While she’s proud of her Arab American heritage,
Samia wishes she knew more about her family history — until her friend does
her DNA test without her consent, making Samia confront just how much
knowledge about her ancestry she can handle.

Castling
Written By
Anthony Goss
Directed by
Korey Jackson
Monday, June 10, @ 7:00 pm
Workers at a local tire shop in Newark
play chess as part of their daily morning ritual. But when their long
standing workplace becomes the target of a business takeover, they scramble
to avoid being put into the ultimate checkmate. A play about the effects of
gentrification and the castles being built all around us, Castling provides
a powerful study of loyalty and perseverance.
