THE WOLVES
Winter 2024
THE WOLVES
by Sarah DeLappe
Directed by Elizabeth Jimenez
Left quad. Right quad. Lunge. A girls’ indoor soccer team warms up. From the safety of their suburban stretch circle, the team navigates big questions and wages tiny battles with all the vim and vigor of a pack of adolescent warriors. A portrait of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for nine American girls who just want to score some goals.

ANIMAL FARM
Winter 2025
ANIMAL FARM
by George Orwell & Adapted by Ian Wooldridge
Directed by Sebastian Sloan
George Orwell's satire on the perils of Stalinism has proved magnificently long-lived as a parable about totalitarianism anywhere and has given the world at least one immortal phrase: "Some are more equal than others." . . . This dramatization remains faithful to the book's plot and intent and retains . . . its affection for the animals . . .

AND THEN THERE WERE NONE
Winter 2026
And Then There Were None
by Agatha Christie
Directed by Sophia Ruttschow
Ten strangers are summoned to a remote island. All that the guests have in common is a wicked past they’re unwilling to reveal and a secret that will seal their fate… for each has been marked for murder. As the weather turns and the group is cut off from the mainland, the bloodbath begins; one by one, they are brutally murdered in accordance with the lines of a sinister nursery rhyme about “Ten Little Soldier Boys.”
