SYNOPSIS
Upstate New York journalist Ken Tingley adapts his memoir about the Post-Star, a small-town newspaper with big ambitions. Based on true events, this gripping drama takes you inside the newsroom to witness trials and triumphs, from a daring exposé on the opioid ep demic to a Pulitzer Prize. Follow the rise and fall of a close-knit team of journalists as they struggle against a tide of economic and political forces that will redefine America's access to information.
Note:
all roles in the show have been cast "The Magi"
SYNOPSIS
In this soulful theatrical concert, audiences follow Nix and Jude, a folk-rock duo who have spent nearly a decade together and fell in love in the maddeningly tight quarters of their tour bus. As the holiday season approaches, the couple and their band face a breaking point. Blending original music, heartfelt storytelling, and tender humor, "The Magi" explores the sacrifices we make for love and the imperfect but profound ways we show devotion to those we cherish. Equal parts concert experience and quirky love story, this production wraps up the spirit of giving in a delightfully original package.
Seeking:
NIXON:
25•35. Open ethnicity. He's a folk rock puppydog in love with love—and especially with Jude. Strong vocals and guitar, bass, or fiddle.
JUDEVINE
25•35. Open ethnicity. She's a folk rock free spirit in love with Nix but fiercely independent. Strong vocals and guitar, bass, or fiddle. "Eureka Day"
SYNOPSIS
"Eureka Day," 2025 Tony Award winner is a devastating comedy by Jonathan Spector that skewers the hypocrisies of polite society. At Eureka Day School, an ultra-progressive private elementary school in Berkeley, California, every decision — big or small — is made by a collective of painstakingly thoughtful parents. But when a mumps outbreak sparks heated debate over vaccinations, the school's precious commitment to tolerance is tested like never before. Political mantras collide with personal fears, obscenities, and rude emojis, as the liberal utopia is challenged. This breathtakingly timely comedy of manners will leave you talking long after the curtain falls.
Note:
the role of DON has been cast
SEEKING:
SUZANNE:
Mid-50s. White. Warm and gracious. Moved to Berkeley after college when her then-boyfriend nowhusband started graduate school at UC Berkeley. Mother of six. Raising her family and nurturing the school are her life's work and fully entwined.
CARINA:
Early 40s, Black or biracial. She grew up overseas and had gone to eight different schools by the time she graduated from high school. This made her skilled at landing in a new environment, figuring out the rules, and putting other people at ease. Moved to Berkeley because her wife is from here. She's not sure she likes it.
MEIKO:
Mid-30s, Biracial Japanese/White (describes herself as Hapa). Berkeley native. Wry sense of humor. Went to UC Berkeley and has never lived anywhere else, or wanted to. A landscape architect, which she's good at but a little bored by. A single mother by choice.
ELI:
Mid-30s, White. Jewish or half-Jewish. Oblivious but well-meaning. From Southern California, went to Stanford and then straight into working at a tech start-up.

SYNOPSIS
From two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Lynn Nottage comes "Clyde's," a warm and witty dramatic comedy about redemption, community, and finding your purpose in unexpected places. At a truck stop sandwich shop, a group of formerly incarcerated workers is given a chance to rebuild their lives. Under the watchful eye of powerhouse matriarch Clyde and guided by a visionary line cook, this motley crew learns to overcome profound obstacles and rediscover hope — all during a quest to invent the world's tastiest sandwich. Full of heart, grit, and gallows humor, "Clyde's" is a brave and joyful work by one of America's greatest living playwrights.
SEEKING:
CLYDE:
40's, Black. The matriarch of the sandwich shop, she's a sexy, powerful visionary who takes no prisoners. Lives life with gusto and no apology.
JASON:
late 20's. White. Embraced white supremacy in prison, more as a means of survival than as a point of view.
MONTRELLOUS
40's, Black. Longtime line cook at Clyde's. He's wise, talented, and cool as hell. The John Coltrane of sandwich making.
RAFAEL:
20's. Latino. A recovering addict who wears his emotions on his sleeve. In love with Letitia.
LETITIA:
20's. Black. Direct, self-possessed, and opinionated. A single mom who doesn't trust love. "Young Frankenstein"
SYNOPSIS
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein — an awkward American neurosurgeon and reluctant heir to his infamous grandfather's castle in Transylvania — and his creature come to vibrant life on stage like never before. This defiantly silly comedy begins with a musical number about the brain and devolves into a triumph of the id over the superego, deliriously liberating love, lust, and the "monster" contained within us all. From iconic musical numbers like "Roll in the Hay" and "Puttin' On the Ritz" to Igor's classic gags ("What hump?"), this irreverent homage to the golden age of horror movies serves up laugh after laugh while celebrating the joys of friendship, authenticity, and belonging.
