Directed by Amy Patton

An old woman calls her former paper boy to tell him how much she hates him for killing her dog. And this isn’t the first time she’s called him to tell him this. How long has this been going on? And did he really kill her dog?

LIVING DOLL by David Golden

OH NO! I FLEW TO CLOSE TO THE SUN by Rand Higbee

It is Rome in 120 A.D. Festus is quite excited when he learns that he has been cast in the role of Icarus in a performance at the Colosseum. However, his enthusiasm quickly wanes when stage workers Sabina and Brutus gradually fill him in as to what exactly the role requires.

SCHRODINGER’S GUN by Greg A. Smith
Directed by Jonathan Cook
Cast – TJ McSherry, Paris Pringle, & Sean Moton
Roland, a nervous white trainee Police Officer, sits across from Freeman, a black man. With a briefcase sat between them, Roland is told that if there’s a gun in the case, Freeman will shoot him, before Freeman repeatedly asserts that there is no weapon. As Freeman slowly opens the case, Roland is caught in a tense dilemma between trusting Freeman’s word, and protecting his own life.

SCRIPTED by Mark Harvey Levine

So Long, 3108! by Christian Zamora

May 9th at 8p

What happens when a young musician is given the performance chance of a lifetime but can’t deal with his own self loathing and resentment? He’s forced to juggle sheet music, his girlfriend’s ex, and his own ego, all the while playing the violin along the way.
Violinist Christian Zamora (The Charleston Symphony Orchestra) will delight and entertain audiences in this one man show. What follows is a hilarious and touching true story of a man caught between his emotions and everything he ever wanted. Written and performed by Zamora and directed by Andy Livengood (Theatre 99, Butcher Stories) this show will take audiences back to early adulthood and all of the shit that comes with
it…but with a classical music soundtrack! There is sure to be a lot of cursing, some violence and a little Mozart.
