Thank You, Sorry

Fri & Sat at 7:30pm, Sunday at 2pm
A one-hour, structured, improvised play about a budding romance between two women from different generations. We explore themes of shame, feeling, age, gender, and ultimately what it means to love.
Do you know how to love? Do you know how to be loved?
Camp Fire Stories
By Murri Lazaroff-Babin
July 11th - 14th.
Thurs-Sat at 7:30pm, Sunday at 2pm
Camp Fire Stories is about home and memory; and the attempt to conjure both.
It's about how the idea of home changes over time, and the interesting ways in which we fill in the gaps of blurred memories from childhood.

A liminal laundromat, a sock thief, and a never-ending stream of patrons. Quiet glances reveal magic in seemingly monotonous moments - asking what happens when solitary routines become disrupted? At one point everyone you’ve ever loved was a stranger. Laundry Show explores the moments of risk that may surprise us with our next love.

Can we attempt to really see one another?
HATERS is an exploration of identity and prejudice, following a Polish woman and a nonbinary Filipino individual as they navigate cultural stereotypes, political tensions, and personal biases through stand-up, traditional martial arts, and folk dance - ultimately finding a common ground in their shared humanity. We challenge our audience to confront their own preconceptions and explore the transformative power of empathy and connection.
