STRAIGHT WHITE MEN by Young Jean Lee
Obie Award-winning playwright Young Jean Lee takes a hilariously ruthless look at the classic American father-son drama. It’s Christmas Eve, and Ed has gathered his three adult sons to celebrate with matching pajamas, trash talking, amusing antics, and Chinese takeout. But when a question they can’t answer interrupts their holiday cheer, each is forced to confront their own identity. It’s a funny family Christmas that no one can forget.

THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT-TIME by Simon Stephens
Christopher Boone is exceptionally intelligent, but ill-equipped to interpret everyday life. He sets out to investigate the bizarre death of a neighbor’s dog, inspiring a series of events that expose far greater mysteries. As the clues fall into place, they reveal a community of disparate characters, a family with secrets, and a gifted mind in a complicated relationship with the world. This international hit takes you inside the extraordinary mind of a boy who views the world as most of us can only imagine.

HAND TO GOD by Robert Askins
A rogue puppet named Tyrone has hijacked the hand of a timid teen, and there’s nothing his classmates, mother, or the pastor can do to exorcize this foul-mouth demon. HAND TO GOD is a thrill ride of a comedy about good and evil, sex and sin, faith, and the filthy mind of one twisted sock puppet.
