Veronica's Room

In Ira Levin's play ''Veronica's Room,'' a young woman, out on a date with a man she has just met, is stopped by an elderly couple and asked to do an unusual favor for them. Meeting with the dying woman they care for and pose as her long passed sister to help her pass on peacefully. An odd request but a kind one that the young couple agree to. Are these kindly, soft-spoken people the gentle, caring folk they seem to be, or is something sinister going on?

Speed-the-Plow

The play delves into the world of studio executive Bobby Gould who must choose between green lighting a formulaic prison-breakout drama with a big star attached brought to him by wheeling-dealing buddy Charlie Fox and an obscure mystical novel about the end of the world being sly pitched by the seductively innocent Karen.

TheaTerror

“TheaTerror” follows the fiendish and troubling exploits of a repertory theatre company trying to mount a production of William Shakespeare’s “Macbeth.” “The Scottish Play,” as it is known in theatre circles. Set at a struggling theater called The Penny, where a troupe is beset with problems -- chief among them a mysterious killer who’s offing members of the troupe. The real terror comes as the much-feared, much-dreaded Lin Palmer, who is making her not-quite-so triumphant return to the scene of her downfall. By than though the corpse count has started to mount—and then into the scene walks the wronged woman just released from the psychiatric ward! A fun and gory original play paying respect to the bloody and guts of the 80's Slasher on stage!

Until sashays in the The Queen Supreme, Brandy Alexander. Chuck Palahniuk who took a sucker punch to toxic masculinity in "Fight Club" turns that cynical wit to the self hating wars waged by the fair sex, in this dark twisted comedy, "Invisible Monsters".

A fun weekend of booze, bullets, and buddies turns into a bloody nightmare as the four friends fight for survival against a demonic being they believed to be the thing of myths and legends. Trapped with no help coming and tensions raising each must bound together or none of them will make it down the mountain alive, because for where the wind blows, The Wendigo goes.
