Dirt Dogs Theatre Co.

The Pillowman

Written by Martin McDonagh, Directed by Malinda L. Beckham

In a dark and dingy interrogation room in an unnamed totalitarian state, Katurian is questioned when the gruesome content of his short stories begins to resemble a series of bizarre murders occurring in his town. When the police also take his mentally impaired brother into custody, Katurian must decide how best to protect himself, his brother, and his stories. With echoes of Stoppard, Kafka, and the Brothers Grimm, this dark and provocative tale explores the very nature of nurture. Read more

The Outsider

In the midst of a political scandal, Ned Newley is unexpectedly thrust into the position of Governor. A complete unknown, with no political instincts, Ned seems destined to fail. But his political consultants see things a little differently: Ned might be the worst candidate to ever run for office—unless that is exactly what the public is looking for! At once a razor-sharp satire and an inspirational tribute to democracy, The Outsider is a timely and hilarious send-up of modern American politics.Read more

El Corazón del Incauto

Teatro Loft

El Corazón del Incauto

Escrita por las argentinas Patricia Suárez y Sandra Franzen

La obra transcurre en la década del '20 del siglo pasado, en la vastedad del campo argentino. María y Honorio, son un matrimonio de inmigrantes italianos y Justo, un humilde peón contratado para la cosecha.

El diálogo fragmentado entre estos tres personajes sobre lo cotidiano elude, una y otra vez, los deseos insatisfechos de unos seres desamparados y atormentados. Sin embargo, al sentirse protegido por la intimidad del hogar, el matrimonio puede concretar una fantasía que resulta intolerable para la mirada del rígido exterior. Este acuerdo entre María y Honorio se ve abruptamente interrumpido por Justo quien altera la cotidianidad marcando nuevos destinos a sus vidas.

Es un “melodrama campero” que respeta el modelo de la tragedia clásica, en tanto adquiere dimensiones míticas que la rescatan del localismo y la proyectan a lo universal. Lo que está en juego es la dignidad de esa criatura contradictoria e inconstante que es el hombre, su identidad y su eventual redención en un desenlace fatal.Read more

Cleansed

The Catastrophic Theatre

Cleansed

by Sarah Kane, Directed by Jason Nodler & T Lavois Thiebaud

"LOVE ME OR KILL ME"

In her brief, boundary breaking career Sarah Kane’s work prompted the term “a theatre of extremes,” yet CLEANSED comes soaked through with hope. Explosively aching, hauntingly poetic, and disarmingly tender, Kane delivers a fever-dream fable of unimaginable brutality and miraculous beauty.

Given our country’s immediate threat to the bodies and lives of those of us who look, live, or love beyond the confines of conservative ‘norms,’ 26 years after it was written, CLEANSED feels nightmarishly prescient. More than a play, in 2024’s America, CLEANSED feels like a cause.

"Once you have perceived that life is very cruel, the only response is to live with as much humanity, humor and freedom as you can.” -Sarah KaneRead more

Reefer Madness

The Garden Theatre

Reefer Madness

Written by Kevin Murphy and Dan Studney

There is a new menace sweeping the nation, ready to ensnare and seduce the youth and drag them down into a life of sin: REEFER MADNESS!

In this hilarious, over-the-top satire, the high school drama club, led by the gravely stern Lecturer, illustrates the perils of the “leafy green assassin.” They tell the story of Jimmy, a fine, upstanding, All-American boy whose life fell apart because of the evil reefer. Jimmy was a good kid, with a bright future ahead of him. He had a sweetheart whom he loved, the wholesome and sweet Mary Lane. But when Jimmy is tricked into taking his first puff of reefer, his life quickly spirals downward. He begins to neglect his family, his schoolwork, even Mary, in order to spend all his time smoking at the Reefer Den. His addiction leads him to debauchery, sin, and theft. 

Reefer Madness is an irreverent parody of the classic 1930s instructional film full of camp, hilarity, mayhem, and madness.Read more
