I'm Not Different
Written and performed by Meg Cashel
Directed by Rosie Glen Lambert
I'm Not Different is a one-woman show written three months postpartum about the impossible task of becoming a mother without losing yourself. Blending stand-up, storytelling and confession - Meg explores early motherhood from inside the beast, debating whether we are ever the same after creating another human or if we even want to be.
Dead Man
by Ann Noble
On a dark and stormy night, a lone private eye investigates a crime everyone wants to forget. It’ll definitely take more than one clown to figure this one out.
Theatre Noir clown style. Somebody’s dead. Somebody must find the killer. Different somebody’s but… you get the idea.
Life is easier when everything’s black and white. Except for those pesky greys.
Ann Noble writes, directs, and performs in Dead Man. Also starring Christian Haines, Jeffrey Johnson, and Robin McDonald. A clown noir who-dun-it that will pull at your heart.
Co-produced by Theatre Ghosts (Michael Perlmutter and Carolina Rodriguez)

The PEterson Show
by Janine Nabers | directed by Michelle Bossy
Five former child stars reunite in Los Angeles as the legacy of their iconic TV father collapses into scandal. With cameras swarming outside, they hilariously confront old rivalries, buried secrets, and what it took to survive growing up on “The Peterson Show” … asking what happens to a “family” when its hero and cultural patriarch is erased.
September 19th through October 26th
Calvin loves Bonnie, but in order to proceed forward, he has to open up their relationship to include his new romantic partner, Q-Tip. One complication: Q-Tip is a horse. An intimate, comedic, complicated look into the world of zoophilia.
