Blue to Blue

March 21 – April 12

What do you do when your mother dies, your father decides to mail you box after random box of her things, and Emily Dickinson poems begin appearing in everyone’s pockets? If you’re Beryl, you head to your job at the coffin-making shop and look for guidance from the two-person Greek chorus that now accompanies your changed life. Unfolding over three days in the 1990s and set in the ancient neighborhood of grief, Blue to Blue presents the timeless search for solace after loss and the unexpected ways it arrives.

FIGURE DRAWING FOR DUMMIES

March 31 & April 9 at 7:30pm, April 5 at 2pm

Written by Daisy Schreiber
Directed by Sammy Weinert

Who is responsible for art? In FIGURE DRAWING FOR DUMMIES, when a previously unknown painter rises to overnight, viral fame, it seems like a dream come true. The only problem? The painting that everyone loves is a nude of her girlfriend, a younger woman who didn’t explicitly consent to being the subject. As the painter’s career skyrockets, the painted woman’s life is left to be defined by her naked form. Twenty years later, the painter is preparing to unveil a second painting of the same woman, asking the questions: who deserves the credit, and are we truly separate from those who care for us?

Paradise Untapped

Tues, April 1 & 8 at 7:30pm

Written by Jack Wolfram
Directed by Catherine Blake Smith

Deborah Milton, daughter of John Milton, and Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley entered our world a lifetime apart in England, born to world-renowned intellectuals and tethered across time by shared fiery intellect, circumstances of birth, and creative compulsion. As both yearn to make a name for themselves and share the stories each feels that only they carry, their isolated connectedness illuminates centuries of stories untold, writers never written, and a Paradise Untapped.
