​Fortitude & Gentleness
A rehearsal between two actors turns into explosions of angst, politics, literature, motherhood, forgiveness, and love—with snatches of song, a handful of dances, rants about life, and impassioned appeals to both the moon and Jane Austen. The themes are explored through movement, song and dance, embodying the energetic, rhythm-driven style of Jump Rhythm, a form of jazz dance focusing on raw physical and emotional energy and syncopation.

​Positive Results
with Annie Elizabeth
When Annie Elizabeth was diagnosed with a rare form of breast cancer six months ago, she did something unexpected: she quit her day job and booked a national comedy tour. Positive Results is the show born from that decision. Armed with a 97% survival rate—made possible only by decades of cancer research—Annie takes the stage to talk about diagnosis, dreams, and the terrifying, hilarious realization that life is shorter than you think. The show spans health and illness, family, identity, and the specific kind of clarity that only comes when everything is suddenly on the line. It is fearless, funny, and impossible to forget. A portion of every ticket sold benefits cancer research.

​Escaping Queens
Over the Roof
Conceived and written by Capitola songwriter/restaurateur Joe Ortiz, the musical "Escaping Queens" had its World Premiere at Cabrillo Stage in 2012. Since then the creative team of Joe Ortiz and director Greg Fritsch have continued to develop the production, staging two workshops in New York and a concert reading in San Francisco, which led to rewriting the beginning and the ending of the show. We are very excited to announce that this new version is making its debut this July at Actors' Theatre.​
