Babel
by Jacqueline Goldfinger
Runs Sep 16 - Oct 3, 2021.
REhearsals Begin in EARLY August.

Featuring a man-sized stork with cigar and the unforgettable voice of Harvey Fierstein, BABEL is a dark sci-fi comedy set in the near future. Two couples are having trouble getting pregnant and the lengths they go to in order to have a baby raises the specter of eugenics, explores the societal value of a baby, and asks us what we are willing to risk for love.

Our story takes place in a future society where racial, ethnic, and gender bias has been generally replaced in mainstream culture by genetic bias. We can now chart and judge the genetic code of every individual before birth. As such, the casting is very flexible.

JAMIE (a male in his 30s/40s)

CITIZEN: AN AMERICAN LYRIC
By Claudia Rankine / Adapted by Stephen Sachs
May 12 - May 29, 2022
REhearsals Begin in EARLY APRIL.

This powerful and thought-provoking fast-moving stage adaptation fuses theatre, music, movement, and video imagery. These are snapshots, vignettes, a meditation on the acts of everyday racism. This piece speaks to those remarks, glances, seeming slips of the tongue — those “did-that-really-just-happen-did-they-really-just say-that slurs” that happen every day — all this, and the larger incidents that become national firestorms.

Citizen 1 (adult female, Black)
Citizen 2 (adult female, Black)
Citizen 3 (adult male, Black)
Citizen 4 (adult male, Black)
Citizen 5 (adult female, White)
Citizen 6 (adult male, White)
