Those Days Are Over
Written by David Hilder
Directed by Suzanne Agins
Those Days Are Over concerns the MacKillop sisters in the immediate wake of their mother's death. They're not exactly close, these five, and as they tussle with each other they're also tussling with the past. Alliances are formed and broken; detente is reached one moment, dissolved the next. Fundamentally the play looks at what it is to be a Gen X woman now. It's a vigorous collage, a deeply felt comedy, a joyous journey into grief.
Scenic Design by Wesley Cornwell
Featuring Julia Coffey, Tracey Gilbert, Kathryn Markey, Christianna Nelson, Erika Rolfsrud, Julie Evan Smith, Marguerite Stimpson

"GOOD COOKS" is a monthly sketch comedy show all about food. Each month, we invite two amazing guests who work in the world of food. We interview them about their passions and their work and help them plan audience tastings and demonstrations. Between interviews, original comedy sketches keep the atmosphere upbeat and energized. We've featured chefs, small business owners, social media influencers, publicists, sommeliers, and more. The show was born out of our shared love of food, comedy, and creating a sense of community for our audience.

Hailed for her "versatile technique" (Musical Times), Laura Falzon’s performances have been described as “excellent,” “remarkably brilliant,” “powerful”, “impressive”, “ethereal” and “exuberant”. With solo, concerto and chamber performances in Europe, Asia and the US, she has performed in prestigious venues such as Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center and Kennedy Center in DC. “Fearless in tackling and promoting” new works (PAN, British Flute Society), Falzon has worked with numerous composers including Mohammed Fairouz, Dai Fujikura, Charles Camilleri, Victoria Bond, and Bushra El-Turk and had many works written for her. A graduate of Columbia University, Dr. Falzon teaches at Columbia University’s Teachers College and New York University. www.laurafalzon.com

The 4 women justices of the Supreme Court are erudite, well-read and punk as fuck, and they’re here to judge the patriarchy. An asteroid is headed for earth, but it could mean the end of systemic sexism (so maybe it’s not all bad). Sandra, Ruth, Elena and Sonia have the power to save the world, but will they take it? Time for oral arguments, jerks! PATRIARCHY! is a raging feminist nightmare, but it’s the last chance Earth has got.

Queen of the Bonackers, by Susan Kathryn Hefti
When their entire way of life is threatened by a depleted fishing stock and an overheated real estate market on steroids, an ancient community of East End denizens discovers the true meaning of family, roots and loyalty while learning what it really means to be a Bonacker.
The Difference Between Big Girls and Little Girls, by Serena Berman
Miriam is living in New York City and writing feminist essays online when she finally comes to terms with a dark childhood memory. Returning to her small East Texas town, she realizes her own trauma may be nothing compared to the experiences of the childhood best friend she left behind. Can she help? Should she help? Or does the isolation of trauma and the loves we sacrifice to heal create a barrier too thick to cross?

The Gap follows a cheerleading team in a small town in the South, newly given the opportunity to redeem themselves at State. At Gilbert High, the cheerleaders are not the highest on the food chain. Most live in trailers and have after school jobs to pay for things they actually need or need to survive high school (a phone, rainbow flip flops). When the co-captain of the team makes it her mission to get the racist school mascot removed, her peers challenge the value of symbolic progress and her commitment to “change.”

""Almost surprisingly captivating."
—Exeunt NYC
Email Pro is a live performance in which Ivan Anderson writes and sends emails to strangers who are chosen by the audience. The emails are 100% improvised and typically consist of the following: parodies of spam, parodies of self-help, absurd distortions of what it’s like to be a person, and frantic attempts to tell the truth and be helpful. Crowd work and audience engagement have a significant impact on the course of each performance. Meanwhile, recurring guest star Jeff Manian sits at the side of the stage, providing musical accompaniment on keyboard and serving as the voice of reason. The entire thing is like a glitched-out combination of talk show, email masterclass, and stand-up comedy meltdown. Get started by visiting https://emailpro.email.

There is a legend in our lands. A legend that all we know will one day come to end. That the seas will shake, the land will quake and the skies will flake. There will be a great final battle between the forces of light and the forces of darkness and in their midst will arise a hero. A hero, wielding a shining emblem that will decide the fates of us all. That hero...is YOU!
The Saga of the Shining Emblem is a one-of-a-kind Improvised adventure, heavily influenced by the Role Playing greats of old. Each performance, one lucky audience member is chosen to be The Hero. They are then guided through an adventure by one actor serving as narrator and all other NPCs they encounter on their journey. Their quest? To find the Shining Emblem, an object of unlimited power capable of granting any wish. How they find it (or if they even bother to quest at all) is totally up to them! Its an unbelievable, unforgettable, unimaginable adventure all made up on the spot! All set to a live score!

Getaway
Written by Jenna Scherer
Directed by Michaela Escarcega
Casper and Penny need a vacation. Like, real bad. So a few days in a cabin in backwoods Vermont seems like the perfect opportunity for them to escape from their problems for awhile. But turns out problems have a way of finding them anyways.
"Getaway" is a play about friendships tested, storms weathered, and what not to do when you realize there's a squirrel living in the wall.

An adaptation of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, stitched together and brought to life with the help of over one hundred detainees at the Manhattan Detention Complex. Join us for the human tale of a creature who is taught she's a monster from the moment she opens her eyes. In this reanimation, she’s stuck inside a television that won’t stop changing channels.
This summer, we had the privilege of devising this new telling of Frankenstein with and for detainees at the Manhattan Detention Complex. It’s been a monster of a process, and the artists we worked with in jail were crucial to the making of this hilarious and human romp through the Creature’s story.
Before we return to MDC in October, we're performing the work we made in jail at the Tank to share the significance art has inside these facilities with you. Art that is playful, heartfelt, and collaborative can briefly disrupt the challenging transitions the audiences in jail are living through. We’re incredibly grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with and perform for these folks, and we can’t wait to share this project and process with you. Join us for a discussion following the performance!
Created by Sarah Cook, Mateo Correa, Aidan Hart, Nile Assata Harris, Reilly Hilbert, Charlie Hurtt, Philip Kenner, Sara Kommer, Talia Paulette Oliveras, and Siena Yusi.
In collaboration with over one hundred detainees at Manhattan Detention Complex in July 2019.

Each month, Theater of the Apes plucks a long forgotten volume from the shelves of the New York Society Library to resurrect as a 1-night-only NYC variety show. Join us as we pull Women as World Builders: Studies in Modern Feminism by Floyd Dell (1913) from the vortex.
From the book:
Men are tired of subservient women; or, to speak more exactly, of the seemingly subservient woman who effects her will by stealth—the pretty slave with all the slave's subtlety and cleverness. So long as it was possible for men to imagine themselves masters, they were satisfied. But when they found out that they were dupes, they wanted a change. If only for self-protection, they desired to find in woman a comrade and an equal. In reality they desired it because it promised to be more fun.

“The more you know of your history, the more liberated you are.” - Maya Angelou

“The more you know of your history, the more liberated you are.” - Maya Angelou
In the Otherworld, the land of the fairy folk, wisdom is possessed by women. One day, the Queen of the fairies sent out a call to women around the world to come to the Otherworld and receive the gift of that great wisdom.
‘If Women Rose Rooted' is a piece that explores the femininity and culture through the wisdom shared by those who came before us, and through our experiences today. Drawn from mythology and folklore coupled with the personal experiences of women today, ‘If Women Rose Rooted' explores the power and pain of femininity, and reminds us all of those powerful women who came before us.
Cast and creative team include: Melissa Mowry (Director), Jessica Fichter (Assistant Director), Marcella Adams, Titania Galliher, Jessica Panora, Lucy Lewis (Performers)
