Comedy/Drama, New Work
Runs Apr 09 - May 11, 2025
Merry Town is the happiest town where all the animals live in harmony and wear cute outfits. Deven Bunny has lived there all his life and has always been taught it's the best place ever. But he's not a child anymore (he’s turning 13) and suddenly he starts seeing things differently. When Deven discovers a deep dark family secret, it changes everything he thought knew about everything. Part Richard Scarry storybooks, a dash of soap opera and a loving touch of David Lynch for good measure, Scary Town is an adult children’s play about growing up in a lie and living not so happily ever after.

MEDEAMEDEAMEDEA by Olivia Buntaine
Classic, Drama, New Work
Runs May 23 - Jun 21, 2025
Olivia Buntaine's World Premiere adaptation, "MEDEAMEDEAMEDEA" rips open Euripides’ tragedy to reveal the woman beneath the legend—powerful, divine, and dangerously overlooked. In this bold new adaptation Medea is no longer just the scorned woman history remembers but a force of nature wrestling with the impossible: self versus sacrifice, revenge versus righteousness, being right versus doing right. With razor-sharp, poetic language that invites rather than alienates, “MEDEAMEDEAMEDEA” dismantles the villain narrative, igniting the stage with fire, fury, and humanity.
