🌟 What You’ll See On Stage:
Yeah, Art Figures
A hilariously biting take on intelligence, perception, and the surprising ways people process the world—through math, music, and more.
Truck Stop Wisdom (World Premiere)
A snowy anniversary weekend takes a bizarre twist when an unexpected guest—Amber, a truck stop massage therapist—shows up at the cabin. Love, Einstein, and plumbing… all in one absurd, unforgettable night.
Va-Va-Vicarious
Two writers. One airport lounge. A quirky, heartfelt conversation about life, love, and literature—with an ending that’ll leave you smiling.
What Baggage
Love after 60 isn’t simple. Two seniors face a new romantic chapter, but can they make it work amid kids, cats, and complications?
He Ain’t No Stephen Adly Guirgis
A sharp-tongued actor and her insecure director lock horns over a dreadful script. The result? A hilarious and moving exploration of collaboration and creativity.
