incredible Finds.

We dig deep for theatrical gold. Extraordinary plays and playwrights. Some you’ve heard of. Some you haven’t. But always plays that get you thinking, get you cranking, get you fired up in some new and different way. Yes, it takes time. Perhaps it’s why we turn out three plays a year versus the typical four or five. Not more plays. Just more

everybody Loves a Good Story.

Have you noticed? Good stories are about people and all the complicated stuff that comes between them. Like love, hate, jealousy, compassion, betrayal. Our job is to find the best stories and tell them well.

Stories that will stick in your mindand your gut. Stories that will move you. Whoever you are.
