The Minutes

Written by Tracy Letts, Directed by Curtis Barber, Regional Premiere

Nominated for best play for the 2022 Tony Awards, The Minutes is a biting political satire infused with dark humor, offering a sharp, humorous, and timely critique of power dynamics, political corruption, and the manipulation of history.

Set during a council meeting in the small, fictional town of Big Cherry, a group of local politicians and officials convenes to address seemingly routine, mundane matters. As the meeting unfolds, however, unexpected and unsettling truths about the town’s past and the people in charge begin to surface. With Pulitzer Prize-winning Letts’ signature mix of sharp humor and mounting tension, The Minutes delivers an urgent and engaging reflection on how even the smallest political systems reflect and influence larger power structures.Read more

Beautiful Princess Disorder

The Catastrophic Theatre

Beautiful Princess Disorder

By kathy Ng, Directed by Jason Nodler

WORLD PREMIERE

“Welcome to the sky. Thank you for agreeing to stay forever.”

Triangle Person is a “Human Body” with a “Triangle Head”. The "Human Body" part wears a navy blue, no-nonsense swimsuit. The "Triangle Head" part wants YOU to know that they ARE a Beautiful Princess. Would you believe that some people don't think that's true? 

Triangle Person lives in the Parking Lot of Heaven. God lives right next door. He has never come by with a casserole though. But SERIOUSLY, Triangle Person doesn’t mind AT ALL. Triangle Person already has all the BFFs they will ever, ever need. Namely, Saint Mother Teresa (you know the one) and Killer Whale Tilikum (a.k.a. Chief Cumlord of the Seaworld Conglomerate). There is lots to do in the nice cloudy sky, many lives to slice, and luckily all the time in the world. A fuzzy-edged sibling drama for the only child, directed by Jason Nodler. (World Premiere.)Read more
