This could totally be the last play in the world. Or at least it feels like it. Ivonne Murphy and Ivonne Pompano (“the Ivonnes”; yes, like “the Daniels”) have decided to document their production process from stem to stern, anticipating that their upcoming play will not only be their magnum opus, but that it will have the power to pull their world out of its current apocalypse With The Power Of Theatre. Actors from far and wide have come to audition for the Ivonnes, and only time will tell if the mountains they will move are those that the Ivonnes had in mind. It all starts with the slate.

Eliana Coe’s The Slate plays in absurdity, mundanity, and the tension that manifests in the in-between. How do artists operate in a world that is constantly in crisis? Should the last play in the world even be made at all if the world has come to that point? Can artists be people too? Can they really? Prove it.

Eat of Me

Attending Catholic high school as a teenage girl in the early 2000s is Moira’s perfect recipe for ecstasy. The secret ingredient? A dead body. And she can’t wait to eat.
