The Threadbare Sex
By Naomi McDougall Jones and Mia Romero
Directed by Gwenevere Sisco. Featuring Mara Lileas, Naomi McDougall Jones, and Mia Romero
The Threadbare Sex follows three iconic Greek women, Antigone, Cassandra, and Electra, from Ancient Greece, through an 1860s drawing room comedy, and into the present day. In each re-incarnation, the women wrangle with their own fates and what it means to be the threadbare sex.
We Haven't Told Anyone About This
By Chris Harcum
Directed by Aimee Todoroff. Featuring Rainbow Geffner, Kate Foster, and Chris Harcum*.
Nothing is as it seems in Lana and Eric's living room. When Paige arrives early for her catering job, she uncovers a Pandora's Box of deception, redemption, and sexual deviance. Blending Comedy of Manners and Greek Tragedy, this dark comedy gives a unique take on how we deal with heinous crimes that destroy people's lives. Can sex and violence make the world a little less wrong?
