Midwest Premiere of...

Long Way Go Down


By Zayd Dohrn
Directed by Associate Artistic Director, Kaiser Ahmed*

        
Playwright Zayd Dohrn takes us to the edge of America where an imaginary line fosters a dangerous story of trust between two truckers who are demanding payment from two Mexican immigrants for smuggling them into Arizona.  Fast-paced and sharp-tongued, Long Way Go Down poignantly reminds us that life requires large sacrifices for large changes.

Rich and Famous

By John Guare
Directed by Guest Artist, Nate Silver


Rich and Famous begins on opening night of Bing Ringling’s first produced play (and the 844th he’s written).  In it, Bing slips into a phantasmagoric odyssey, which guides him through hilariously twisted confrontations with his past. Written by John Guare, this play exemplifies his signature style- blending comedy, music, and painful disillusionment- and enables Bing to finally determine the true costs of being rich and famous.

World Premiere of...

The Casuals

By Guest Artist Chance Bone and
Resident Playwright Andrew Swanson*

Directed by Guest Artist Jonathan Berry

The Casuals takes place in a mid-1950's community built to house the government employees of the American Nuclear Testing program, comparing the fears created within us to those imposed upon us. Exploring strengths- from 'higher powers' to the atom-The Casuals is a play about paranoia, curiosity and the dire need to hold on to the truth.
