“I am trying to think of some way to make the title shorter because this one is way too long I think we can all agree” by Lee Archer is a humorous spoken word solo show that weaves together true moments from Lee Archer’s life — moments of insight, moments of upset, moments of mystery, moments of connection.

Mothers Past, Daughters Future. Two solo performances: “Orphan Girl” by Meighan O’Brien weaves together physical theater, dramatic monologue, and song to explore the haunting legacy of emotional absence in her family’s life; “The One” by Andrea Parson dives headfirst into the slippery world of self-love and the search for connection.

Oh Johnny by Molly Shannon:  A one woman theatrical clown show that takes an excursion into a shadowy world of parlor seances and film noir plot twists.

Some things you should know about my mom by Gabriel Diamond is the story of the “first intentionally single mom” who also happened to be a hunchback, manic depressive artist.

Speak English by Vanessa Kamp implicitly question how we construct and manage perception via themes of work/labor, class, and xenophobia and other doctrines of identity as much as I question the work’s own form.

The Omega Male Program by Levani a satirization of cult-like self-help grifters who take advantage of lonely and depressed men.

Therapist Zero by Brian Leonard is the story of a father determined to avoid the missteps of his parents but instead runs headlong into a revolving door of mental health professionals who prove much more unpredictable and damaging.

Who’s that? Duh it’s God by Marion Lovinger is a sharply funny, deeply personal show tracing one woman’s quest for meaning—from childhood revelations about God and Santa, to parental secrets, spiritual yearnings, and modern-day showdowns.
