The Thin Place
By Lucas Hnath

Directed by Elizabeth Bennett
March  27–28, 30–31 at 7:30  p.m. and March 28 at 2 p.m.
New Workshop Theater

The Thin Place lifts the veil between the living and the dead as two women communicate with the other side. Aided by her new mentor and psychic medium, Linda, Hilda explores the divides between belief and skepticism, life and death, and the physical and spiritual realms. Lucas Hnath’s eerie and thought-provoking drama raises the question: What makes us believe in something we can’t see—and what makes us doubt?

Indecent
by Paula Vogel

Directed by Sam Plattus
December 5–6, 8–9 at 7:30 p.m. and December 6 at 2 p.m.
New Workshop Theater

The true story of a little Jewish play, Indecent recounts the history of the groundbreaking 1923 Broadway play God of Vengeance which scandalized the Jewish community and the American public with its portrayal of love and desire between women. Set against the backdrop of rising fascism and the struggle for creative freedom, Indecent uncovers the divide between art and censorship, identity and persecution, as well as cultural divides both then and now. A testament to the power of art-making as an act of resistance, Indecent is a revolutionary story about finding the unflinching courage to speak truth through art.

October 3–4, 6–7  at 7:30 p.m. and October 4 at 2 p.m.
New Workshop Theater

In a time of revolution, four women—one an activist playwright, one an assassin, one a queen, and one a Haitian spy—face the chaos of the French Revolution. With wit, bravery, and a healthy dose of humor, they question how to fight for freedom in a world that wants to silence them. The Revolutionists is a fierce, feminist exploration of the power of sisterhood and the struggle to define one’s identity amidst societal upheaval. The play crosses divides of gender, power, and historical boundaries, raising the question: how do we create revolution without losing ourselves in the process?
