PRODUCTION HISTORY
MIDWEST
PORN
In Midwest Porn, students at St. Mary’s Elementary School are preparing for Confirmation, but fourth-grader Beatrice and her coterie threaten to boycott the ceremony due to their beef with Catholicism. At the same time, low enrollment, a nascent adult entertainment industry, and an infestation of turtles threaten the very survival of the school.

THE
LEVERET
In The Leveret, Spanish Franciscan Friar and architect Antonio Cruzado designs and builds Los Angeles’ San Gabriel Mission using the enforced labor of the Gabrielino Tongva people. Wrestling with his calling to create a sacred sanctuary and the subjugation of the Native builders, Cruzado must contend with his spiritual imperfection and desire to achieve aesthetic perfectionism.

+ ALICE

WHERE
WOMEN
GO
TINA HOWE'S LAST PLAY tracks the journey of Zilla, a recently widowed New Yorker whose seemingly mundane daily routine is broken up by a visit to a dermatologist when an herb garden begins to sprout from her legs. She meets her friend at her new favorite lunch spot: Subway. Final stop, a mesmerizing street vendor, fixated by the city’s pageantry of plurality.
The play features spontaneous group singing, bizarre food, a zither, a silent man wearing a parachute, and an awakening from absurdity to abundance, kindness to connection.
