In the future, a theatre troupe tells us the tale of the shape-shifting rebels who took down a wealthy, “green” metropolis and relit the flame of revolution and justice.

Join us for selections of two previously unproduced works. We will read and then chat about each selection. One of our plays was this year's Bechdel Resident.

Join the Bechdel Group as we read and workshop two thirty minute selections. "Melodies in E" by Triza Cox and "Dazed and Defrosted" by Nina Mansfield

Revelation is the story of a queer father and son reconciling their disparate narratives of the past to find forgiveness and attempt to move forward.

Living Situation is a dark comedy that explores what it means to love an addict, and how powerful a bond of codependency and repetition can really be.

Crooked Numbers, by Ellen Margolis "Woodstock, New York. 1979. Fifteen-year-old Dusty has been set aside for a while, sent to live with her Aunt Fran while her father awaits a new baby with his young wife. Fran, her hands more than full with a struggling business and a dying partner, takes Dusty in for a bit of money that she wouldn't otherwise accept from her brother--while Dusty is mainly in it for the proximity to the Baseball Hall of Fame."
