On the night of the 2016 presidential election, Boston University's Women Loving Women Club gathers at their president's Back Bay apartment to celebrate the birthday of one of their own. With tensions already bubbling and cracking under the surface and their inner relationships with one another on the brink of extinction, the Women Loving Women Club is thrust into political turmoil as they wage war on each other over their political identities, the definition of lesbianism, and who can even consider themselves "LGBTQ".

The Lesbian Play, in coordination with Trashfest at The Tank, has been envisioned as a no-waste, sustainable and committed environmentally-friendly production.

The Lesbian Play is a one-act full length play with a runtime of approximately 90-100 minutes. There is no intermission.

The sun is going down. Shabbat is almost over. You - the matriarch of a family who has left the Forest, crossed the Desert, and made a life in this New Place - you are now in your twilight hours. No longer able to see or speak, your three daughters have returned home to keep vigil by your side. As they dredge up History, warping time, space, and language around you, your only hope for peace may be your granddaughter, the one person who seems to notice you’re still there. An experiment in radical empathy, and come apart compresses a thousand years of Jewish diaspora history into a single generation to examine the violence assimilation yields, the false promise of America, and the rituals through which we might begin to heal.

GREEN is a live performance collaboration between YES Theater and the brand new groovy musical group Grass Future Society. Taking the form of a pared down concert of Grass Future Society's upcoming album GREEN, there will be recycled-mask dancers telling the abstracted narrative of the album, which is essentially about being stuck inside and looking out the window to see the world on fire. (Sound familiar!?) The project is grounded in finding the joy and beauty in community, and to represent the possibility of proving the opposite of the narrative of isolation and destruction.
