Middle-aged siblings Vanya and Sonia share a home in Bucks County, PA, where they bicker and complain about the circumstances of their lives. Suddenly, their movie-star sister, Masha, swoops in with her new boy toy, Spike. Old resentments flare up, eventually leading to threats to sell the house.

Juke Joint Jukebox

Directed by Gary Stanford Jr

Juke Joint Jukebox pays homage to the lineage of Gary Stanford Jr. (Creator/Director), and hopes to present a slice of history you may find challenging to learn in standard academia.

The Boys in the Band

Directed by Lauren Burgat

November 10 to November 19, 2023

In his Upper East Side apartment, Michael is throwing a birthday party for Harold, a self-avowed "thirty-two-year-old, pockmarked, Jew fairy," complete with a surprise gift: "Cowboy," a street hustler. As the evening wears on – fueled by drugs and alcohol – bitter, unresolved resentments among the guests come to light when a game of "Truth" goes terribly wrong.

Spring Awakening

Directed by Jepoy Ramos

January 19 to January 28, 2024

It is Germany, 1891, a world where the grown-ups hold all the cards. The beautiful young Wendla explores the mysteries of her body and wonders aloud where babies come from... until Mama tells her to shut it and put on a proper dress. Elsewhere, the brilliant and fearless young Melchior interrupts a mind-numbing Latin drill to defend his buddy, Moritz – a boy so traumatized by puberty that he can't concentrate on anything.  This beautiful musical tells the story of these teenagers discovering the inner and outer tumult of adolescent sexuality.

Detroit

Directed by Steve Bologna

March 1 to March 17, 2024

In a first-ring suburb just outside a city that might be Detroit, Ben and Mary see sudden signs of life at the deserted house next door and invite their new neighbors Sharon and Kenny over for a barbecue. The quintessential American back-yard party quickly turns into something more dangerous—and filled with potential.

Calendar Girls

Directed by Roxane Ashe

April 12 to April 28, 2024

When Annie's husband John dies of leukemia, she and best friend Chris resolve to raise money for a new settee in the local hospital waiting room. They manage to persuade four fellow Women's Institute members to pose nude with them for an "alternative" calendar, with a little help from hospital porter and amateur photographer Lawrence.

In the Next Room (or The Vibrator Play)

Directed by Heather Skelley

June 14 to June 30, 2024

In a seemingly perfect, well-to-do Victorian home, proper gentleman and scientist Dr. Givings has innocently invented an extraordinary new device for treating "hysteria" in women (and occasionally men): the vibrator. Adjacent to the doctor's laboratory, his young and energetic wife tries to tend to their newborn daughter—and wonders exactly what is going on in the next room.
