Very Blue Light
By Daphen Silbiger
Directed by Emily Moler

Marfa, Texas. Two women reunite with their childhood best friend, only to find that his politics have gone askew. With uncertainty defining both the present and future, Angela faces the temptation of adopting her old friend’s conservative lifestyle, while Magna seeks (and finds) some certainty about her way forward when she and a lifelong Marfan encounter the mysterious Marfa Lights.

Very Blue Light is a play about people caught in the conflict between emergent technology, our networks, and the natural world, and asks: what does it mean for a chosen family to try to balance those forces?

Show Trial
By Lauren Zlatos
Directed by Tom Costello

One woman stands alone against an oppressive regime. Show Trial turns state propaganda into farce—with choreographed confessions, scripted testimony, and a healthy disregard for reality. Drawn from the real transcripts of the 1950 trial of Milada Horáková, the Czechoslovak dissident accused of treason by a regime that had already written the verdict, it's a political satire about the choices we make when history belongs to the victors.
