By David Jacobi | Directed by Kristy Dodson
In the aftermath of a hate crime, junior high pariah Goon befriends one of the victims, Carly, the only black girl in school. While the town plans a rally “to destroy racism forever,” a youthful romance blossoms and the two must navigate teen love. Passive-aggressive antics, bad parental advice and ill-informed gestures of kindness create a “white guilt perfect storm” that threatens to make the course of true love a rocky road indeed.

By Carlo Goldoni | Adapted by Oded Gross & Tracy Young | Directed by Lauren Bone Noble
This contemporary take on a commedia dell’arte classic opens with a troupe of actors on stage bemoaning the bad economic times and the effect they are having on the troupe’s theatre. What follows is a wonderfully funny story with absurdly complicated circumstances.
