  • SILVER & BEBBIE

    4pm

    Silvia Birdsall is an 8 year old musician, dancer, knitter, and lover of cats. She'll stubbornly tell you that though her babysitter Evelyn Langley looks like a grownup, she's actually only 7 years old herself. Together, Silvia and Evelyn have been creating worlds all their own for many years; now they take to the stage to share a show about friendship, change, and being bold enough to be yourself.

  • Myzrie House

    5:30pm

    Two people are thrust into a mysterious cell together for reasons unknown. Are they the last humans left on Earth? Can they escape? Are they meant to become friends, more than friends, or perhaps enemies? And what's the deal with the ominous doomsday clock which keeps appearing? Mark Wong and Nicole Burgio invite you to a room of dance, theater, merrymaking, and action. Welcome to Myzrie House.

  • Me and Jesus and Prince and Captain Jean-Luc Picard in a One Bedroom apartment in the Bronx

    7pm

    I grew up in a Black Sci-fi Christian home in the Bronx. My childhood was full of time travel, prayers, and the planet trying to recover from the apocalypse. There were Angels and aliens. There were twilight zone marathons, zombies and Sunday morning pews. I am from the Bronx. I do not speak the King's English. I speak the Bronx English. My people have Caribbean and West Indian accents and tones. I speak Black Baptist church. Hymns and scriptures. I speak live long and prosper. Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations. I speak Prince. Sade. Luther Vandross. I speak the erotic and the sensual. The lusciousness and deliciousness of the body.

  • Reception

    8:30pm

    In 2014, the first interstellar object ever sighted near our sun mysteriously changed course and tumbled away. Soon after, voices purporting to originate from Vega poured uncontrollably from the mouth of a local performing artist. Probing the intentions of the audience, this channeling walks a tightrope between a supernatural or psychological explanation.

  • Man of La Manchin

    10pm

    Democratic Senator Joe Manchin III is eaten alive in this new comedic musical that's not at all based on Man of La Mancha. Absurd, grotesque, and for legal purposes, 100% satire, Manchin serves up a radical dish that just might feed the soul of a nation in need of liberation.

  • Jonathan Daylight Live!: Helping You Be Motivated and Productive!

    7pm

    This one-man show combines comedy, theater, and juggling to create something that goes beyond traditional motivational speaking. Jonathan Daylight Live! inadvertently pokes fun at at "hustle culture" and the motivation industry's absurdity and inability to create long lasting change in people. As he gives advice and shares stories, Jonathan realizes that true growth comes from acknowledging our intrinsic value and prioritizing our health and wellbeing.

  • "When All Else Fails: or, Why Not Choose Me?"

    8:30pm

    Ashley W. is looking for the one and she's tired of settling - but you sure could! Taking cues from ABC's "The Bachelor" and other reality dating shows, When All Else Fails is a clownish exploration on love and our human tendency to overromanticize it. Through this semi-immersive piece, audiences will be delighted with Shuron's signature mix of dance, theatre, film, and puppetry that grips at the heartstrings through its most joyous and darkest moments.
