Playing This Month
 | • APR 17 - MAY 3, 2026 • Anon(ymous) / Play For Tickets & Info: Anon(ymous) is a play by Naomi Iizuka in the drama genre, a modern day, poetic reimagining of The Odyssey that instead follows a teenage refugee’s struggles in today’s uncertain world. The story centers on Anon, a young person separated from his mother during a harrowing escape. Alone, displaced, and nameless, Anon drifts through a fragmented America, encountering everything from a one eyed butcher to beguiling strangers, sweatshops, and dangerous realities. Along the way he meets other displaced souls, false comforts, betrayals, and fleeting kindness. Through dreamlike sequences, magical realism, blunt hardship, and lyrical storytelling, the play explores what home means when you have lost your past and memory. Anon’s journey becomes more than a search for his mother, it becomes a quest for identity, belonging, and hope in a world that tries to reduce people to statistics. Emotion packed, haunting, and deeply human, Anon(ymous) invites the audience to walk beside those who wander, longing for a place to call home and a sense of who they are. | ||

Coming Soon
• OPENS JUNE 12, 2026 • God of Carnage / Play God of Carnage is a dark comedy play by Yasmina Reza that digs into how thin the surface of civility really is when adults try to act like they have it all together. The story begins with two pairs of parents who meet to discuss a scuffle between their young sons, and the plan is simple enough, talk it out, stay polite, and move on like responsible grownups. Instead, the room slowly turns into a pressure cooker as each couple tries to protect their own image while quietly sizing up the other. What starts as a measured conversation shifts into sharp humor, awkward honesty, and that delicious kind of chaos that happens when people drop the masks they wear for the world. The play uses quick dialogue, tight pacing, and clever character shifts to explore the fragile rules of social behavior and how fast they crumble when personal pride gets poked. It invites the audience to lean in, laugh, and recognize pieces of themselves in every uncomfortable beat. God of Carnage balances comedy and tension with precision, creating a story that feels playful on the surface while hinting at deeper truths simmering underneath. |
