Xochi is dealing with a lot after the loss of her twin brother Sebastian last year. But when he suddenly returns, everyone rejoices—except Xochi, who senses he’s not the brother she lost. BOTH eerily probes family, memory, love, and which version of the truth is worth believing.
This bold, provocative musical set in 1930s Berlin captures the hedonism of the Kit Kat Klub amid the rise of Nazism. Through great songs and haunting themes, it explores love, politics, and identity in a crumbling world on the brink of darkness.

This is a story about money. Don’t let them fool you otherwise. When a father loses his child in a clash with the local police, he is visited by three strangers who advise him to take the city’s cash settlement, relocate and forget his grief–or else stay and remain impoverished surrounded by memories of the world his child fought so hard to protect. This world premiere from Academy Award-winning ensemble member Tarell Alvin McCraney explores how grief, justice, sexuality, gender, history and even pride become secondary concerns in the wake of currency.
Part philosophical farce, part surreal fever dream—Witkiewicz’s The Cuttlefish, or the Hyrcanian Worldview is a razor-sharp satire of art under pressure. In a world where creativity is consumed by control and individuality is crushed beneath the weight of conformity, an artist spirals into crisis—torn between integrity and survival, freedom and obedience. Witkiewicz exposes the seductive dance between artist and authority, where every act of creation risks becoming an act of submission. Decades ahead of its time, this anarchic comedy lays bare the modern artist’s impossible choice: stay true to your vision, or surrender it for comfort and applause.
