Tickets

This funny and essential new piece of Journalistic Theater, researched, written and performed by Dan Hoyle, will change the way you see the country. Based on immersive reporting from school board showdowns in Florida, grassroots organizers in Atlanta, barbershops in Las Vegas, and many others in the trenches of Democracy, Dan  channels powerful, funny and complex people caught in the social and political currents roiling our society. These tender portraits of everyday Americans turned unlikely changemakers offer hope and ways forward in these tumultuous times.
Directed by Aldo Billingslea, and coming for two shows only.

Dan Hoyle's work has been hailed as "riveting, funny and poignant" by the 
New York Times.

Misery
by William Goldman

Based on the novel by Stephen King, Misery keeps the audience on the edge of their seats as they witness the peril-fraught relationship between a novelist, Paul Sheldon, and his self-proclaimed "number one fan," Annie Wilkes. After a car accident in a snowstorm, Paul is “rescued” by Annie, who turns out to be dangerously obsessed with a series of his novels. This skillfully constructed play explores themes of obsession, captivity, and the sinister side of fandom, culminating in a horrific and dramatic struggle for survival.
Master of Horror Miguel Reyna directs the frighteningly talented cast of Manirose Bobisuthi, Ian Dyer, and Brad Roades.

(For ages 16+ only, due to graphic depictions of violence.)
