Tabatha Winbush's Novel

written by Donna Holloway. Directed by John-Michael Manley

Tabatha Winbush's Novel is a dramatic thriller that captivates readers with a journey through the memories of Tabatha Winbush, a Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist. The story unfolds in Tabatha's home, where her work is frequently interrupted by a variety of characters. Some are welcome, while others, such as the ambitious university student Della, who seeks anecdotes for her own novel, are a nuisance. Tabatha's love interest, Harven Grimble, is the most troublesome, with his unexpected visits and attempts to whisk her away on vacation, disrupting her work. These interruptions culminate in Tabatha revealing the chilling origins of her novels, exposing to the audience the true source of her eerily compelling narratives.Read more

Miss LaRaj’s House of Dystopian Futures

In a world where civilization and the environment that birthed it has been decimated by myriad human-made cruelties, the question remains: will humans ever learn?

In this post-apocalyptic riff on “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood,” Fred’s long since gone and Nature itself is now the main character. Enter Miss LaRaj—our wise and wisecracking MUTHA of the New World Order.

Talking trees, judgmental rocks, all natural forces sing and move, attempting to guide humankind back to true symbiosis. And what better way to learn than from a kid’s show? What are humans anyway if not the petulant children of this planet?

 What if we used our imaginations?Read more

The Frozen Section

The Catastrophic Theatre

The Frozen Section

(a comedy in aisle 9) by LISA D'AMOUR

In a liminal, existential grocery store, a disorganized collection of bewildered shoppers and workers find comfort in the carefully organized aisles, in the feeling of cold air on one’s face when opening a door in the frozen section.

But the supermarket feels almost empty. Because: Instacart? These collected souls seem so removed from one another, so far from the messy origin of things. Salad mix sweating in a clam shell? How did we get here? In the back alley a cashier converses with a coyote; in Dairy, civilization dances with the wild.

To be adrift solo is one thing, to be so among found community is quite another. And that’s not nothing. Sometimes it can seem like everything. Read more
