Premiere the Play

Join us as we talk with Tom Lavagnino, the playwright of Winter Rules All Summer.

Four friends habitually play golf every Sunday morning, with a set-in- stone tee time of 9:36 AM. But when one of their number doesn't show up (and they can't track him down), and a random golfer from the "wait list" gets assigned to their foursome (and inveigles his way into the group), the three are forced to deal with some very real truths and ultimately confront a complete and total re-definition of the term “friendship.” Meet the Artists

Join us as we talk with Marc Aronoff, the playwright of A Night in Jerusalem.

A modern-day Sabbath dinner is unfolding in Jerusalem, but this is no ordinary gathering. When Salah, a Harvard educated Palestinian who seeks peace with Israel, unexpectedly arrives at the invitation of his girlfriend, the evening turns into a web of political intrigue rooted in idealism and radical differences.

Lise Meitner, often called “The Mother of the Atomic Bomb,” worked in Germany for over 30 years. When she arrived in Berlin from her native Vienna in 1907, she was among the first women to seek a place in science; when she fled for her life in 1938, she was one of the last (converted) Jewish academics not yet expelled by the Nazis.

Join us as we talk with Dan Borengasser, the playwright of The Puck Project.

For her master’s thesis, Nora wants to write about Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, but she struggles to come up with an original take on it. She finally decides to compare the traditional love in the play with a love that can be artificially induced like with Puck’s magic potion—or possibly through the techniques of modern neurobiology. As it turns out, her approach may be a little too original. Meet the Artists

Join us as we talk with Julie Pearson Little Thunder, the playwright of A Southern Fantasia.

In 1897 Alabama, two Slave spirits—one African-American, one Indigenous—watch over a rural community that includes Okcate, a half black/half Muscogee Creek woman. When she and a white man fall in love, the Spirits' desire to fend off threats from a caste-based society upsets the precarious balance of their own limbic status. Meet the Artists

Join us as we talk with John Minigan, the playwright of Covenant.

How do we become entrenched in the beliefs we hold and what, if anything, can get us to walk away when those beliefs lead to chaos and destruction? Jordan’s mission to infiltrate and report on an apocalyptic religious community has ended in disaster. Questions from an unseen interrogator trigger and inform Jordan’s memories of her time undercover, force her to confront the series of choices she made, and decide whether the beliefs that guided her mission are any less dangerous than the beliefs of those in the group.
