Primary Trust
Kenneth has spent his life in the same small town, his adulthood working at the same small bookstore, and his nights drinking mai tai’s in the same small bar with his best friend Bert — who cares if Bert is imaginary? When Kenneth is suddenly laid off from his job, he is forced out of his comfort zone and into the world. Primary Trust is a story about the transformative nature of small acts of kindness, the importance of community, and the courage it takes to embrace change. 2024 Pulitzer Prize for Drama
Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women
From America’s most produced playwright comes another fresh adaptation of a familiar classic. Lauren Gunderson’s Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women takes the legendary novelist and places her at the center of her own story. Under the guidance of their beloved mother, the four young March sisters -- tempestuous Jo, traditional Meg, gentle Beth, and spirited Amy -- struggle to keep their family going while their father serves in the Civil War. This enduring celebration of sisterhood comes to life as a young writer makes space for herself and her stories in a society she’s determined to change.
The Play That Goes Wrong
It’s opening night for the Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society’s production of the 1920s murder mystery Murder of Haversham Manor and from lights up the cast and crew are in an uphill battle to the final curtain. The set isn’t steady and neither are the actors as they trip over their lines, set pieces and a murder victim who has a hard time playing dead. In this uproarious comedy, anything that can go wrong, absolutely will… with fantastic flair! 2015 London’s Olivier Award for Best New Comedy
