January 24: MY UTERUS (a womb with a view) by Dina Morrone. Dina digs deep into her pelvic cavity to explore what the Uterus really is, what it means to own one, and to probe and examine how it continues to get screwed over and over again, by those who have no business being in there.

This play spotlights a tragedy in the Arctic where domestic violence often is shrugged off, but the crime is repeated with little consequence all over the United States for thousands of women, especially those of color who too often are treated as both disposable and invisible,
February 28: Carpool by Tom Walla. An ordinary day at work for four ride sharing employees becomes anything but, as sudden company cutbacks ratchet up tension, manipulation and recriminations that force them all to re-examine their life choices as their stories build to an emotional climax none of them could have foreseen.

March 14: SHE Is History by Amy Simon. Alarmed when her thirteen-year-old daughter plans to do her women’s history report on pop stars Cher, or Janet Jackson, Mom becomes obsessed with and gets inspiration and strength from the unknown, unheralded and forgotten women in history who overcome obstacles and fight for equality and justice. Weaving stories in and out of what turns out to be parallel universes spanning three centuries, she finds empowerment along the way in this funny, enlightening, politically and socially relevant, heart-breaking and emotionally charged slices of modern and herstorical life.

March 28: Death and Cold Cuts by Garry Kluger. They say that “Love is a many splendored thing.” Wanna bet?
April 18: Cassatt by Arden Teresa Lewis. Mary Cassatt, the aging Impressionist, stands in her country estate and sets fire to most of her early paintings never to be seen by the art world again.

April 25: FONDA/McQUEEN….the STARDUSTERS by Steve Nevil.
