Dear Liar - A special benefit reading of Jerome Kilty's play, "Dear Liar" starring 4-time Oscar nominee Marsha Mason and Emmy winner Brian Cox ("Succession") and directed by Broadway's Mark Brokaw ("How I Learned to Drive"), will make its streaming debut. All ticket proceeds of this benefit reading will support the Bucks County Playhouse Pandemic Campaign. Nobody knows quite what went on between playwright (and vegetarian) George Bernard Shaw and the celebrated, yet temperamental English stage actress, Mrs. Pat for whom he created Eliza Doolittle in "Pygmalion." But for 40 years of their very public lives, these two titanic personalities of the British theatre carried on a very private affair through the exchange of letters. Full of stinging wit and deep emotion, "Dear Liar" brings their epistolary relationship to life - revealing not only the ups and downs of their storied careers, but also illustrating the very stormy infatuation and magnetism that pulled these spirits together even through separation, hardship and heartbreak. click here

Fast & Furious - Live performance exists to serve as America's cultural conscience. It is the artist's responsibility to make work that shines a light on things when they're wrong, celebrate them when they're right and model alternative possibilities. This kind of work can change hearts and minds. The artist's ability to act fast and create work quickly in response to events, policies and general dumpster fires has never been more crucial, as they participate in building the language of resistance. Each month, a group of artists comes together to create performance pieces in the 7 days leading up to the event in response to the headlines of the week. The work tends to be made very quickly and, in many cases, very furiously! click here
