Show Descriptions:
Bethel Park Falls
The residents of the small town of Bethel are facing a crisis: Their beloved park has been sold out from under them and it's sending their lives into a tailspin. In nine interconnected vignettes, sixteen locals grapple with the loss of jobs, homes, and spouses, but find love, courage, and forgiveness as the park magically transforms through four seasons of the year in a single day. From a tired security guard trying to get home to her kids, to a young mayor in over his head, to a nostalgic fisherman who can't seem to catch anything, everyone takes a fall... and picks themselves up again. Bethel Park Falls draws a group of complex, fascinating, funny people together into one poignant story about the spaces where communities connect.
*Bethel Park Falls incorporates themes of love, loss, and infidelity.
Backspace
This movement-based drama explores its story in a unique and vivid manner. Where else can you bring a typewriter to life? In the world of Backspace, writing is a struggle, a battle, a war. Four Writers struggling with writer's block go off to the front lines to fight Ideas who resist at every turn. They stare at the Blank Page and must stand strong when she starts talking back.
Silent Sky
The true story of 19th-century astronomer Henrietta Leavitt explores a woman’s place in society during a time of immense scientific and heart-bound discoveries. With music and math bursting forth onstage, Henrietta and her female peers change the way we understand both the heavens and Earth.
*Silent Sky incorporates themes of terminal illness and loss.
