THE ALTRUISTS
by Nicky Silver
directed by Danielle Holtz

MARGARET FLEMING
by James A. Herne
directed by Ryan Washabaugh

INTO THE POOL; or, the Cheshire Cat Mourns the Death of the American Dream
by Daniel Jackson
directed by Danielle Holtz
 

An outrageous satire of the trials and tribulations of the average American protester. A gallery of hypocrites, Silver’s characters make a statement about the betrayal of one's ideals and rebelling without a cause.

"Hysterical…THE ALTRUISTS revels in political incorrectness. Nicky Silver is the bad-boy playwright of Off-Broadway." —NY Daily News.

FOR MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY

This fresh new adaptation explores the evolution of the modern domestic family structure and gender constructs upheld by American society. Examining how women struggled and continue to struggle to break free from these constructs. Margaret Fleming's controversial actions shocked audiences in 1890 and will shock contemporary audiences. Change is revolutionary.

 

 

A tale of dream-like characters in the all-to-real world, Into the Pool is a commentary of the danger of stagnation that accompanies the loss of innocence. 

The world premiere of company member Daniel Jackson's play features famous literary characters dealing with the death of the American dream.

Look for free staged readings of the text preceding the full production of the show.
