2024 - 2025 Season
Sometimes weird, sometimes moving, always New Moon.
We're bringing her back!! LIZZIE is Rage! Sex! Betrayal! BLOODY MURDER! LIZZIE is American mythology set to a blistering rock score with a sound owing less to Sondheim and Andrew Lloyd Webber than to Bikini Kill, the Runaways, and Heart.
This scathing new comedy about small-town politics and real-world power, from the author of August: Osage County and Killer Joe, exposes the ugliness behind some of our most closely held American narratives while asking each of us what we would do to keep from becoming history’s losers.
As a young man, Oedipus is told by a seer that he will grow up to kill his own father and marry his mother. He flees from home to avoid this terrible fate, but there is no escape—the dreadful prophecy finally catches up with him. Celebrated playwright Sam Shepard reimagines this Ancient Greek tale as a modern thriller. A murder is committed. Who is the victim? Who is responsible? What are the consequences for generations to come? There are many versions of the crime in this intriguing tale. People are hiding from the truth, even when it stares them in the face.
