if i loved you
BY MONIQUE BARBEE
If atoms behave differently while observed, what is the cost of visibility? Visibility is not neutral. It is a negotiation. And sometimes the price is becoming someone else.
daughter debris
BY RACHEL SLATER
Wrestling with attempts to make sense of what’s been left behind, Daughter Debris is a new work by Rachel Slater combining movement, text, and media. Here, the ground won’t hold, and something in the remembering won’t stay contained.
GRIEF & all the things
BY ROB ALEY
The 5 stages of grief - deconstructed - love, laughter and a whole lot of obscenities. Throw in some complex carbohydrates and it’s a full on grief party!
BOUNCE
BY MAIA MCCARTHY
Wet rubber balls on muddy grass, crisp new tennis balls on a freshly swept court, an apple on a vinyl floor- each has their own rhythm, but each one goes from initial impact through maximum deformation to full rebound. A memoir told through the language of the bounce.
Echoes
BY KATE HOLLY
"You're the One in Here" a new musical with lyrics by Sophina Flores and music by Daye Thomas. Three children, Lorena, Jem, and Gia live in a hallway where shadows stretch too long and doors don’t always lead where they should. In a bedroom with the door removed. At a dining table where silence carries more weight than words. Something is always watching, always waiting. They learn that fear can be inherited. They sense something in the dark but are told it isn’t there. The right things feel so, so wrong, and fractured lullabies evoke the childhood they never get to have. Everyone’s parents are like this. Déjà vu. They turn around and realize that the thing they were running from was inside the house all along.
In / Between
BY JOE MCLAUGHLIN
In-Between is a work in progress that steps into the dualities of this world. Can it be black and white at the same time? Can one exist without the other? And where black and white, light and darkness meet, what exists there? Is this where creation begins?
War, destruction, lies, abuse, and prejudice are explored here. As well as love, kindness, beauty, compassion, and honesty. Can these dualities come together and become something greater than when standing alone? Joe, a Butoh performer/dancer for the past 18 years, combines the silence of the Butoh practice with the spoken word of theatre to create this new and evolving work.
The liminal series 2026
now is the envy of the dead
BY S RECAVARREN FRANCO
What is real? Are monsters something to fear? What about hallways? Can anyone (including life coaches) help you?
“now is the envy…” is a delirious solo-show that flips between direct address storytelling, shadow puppets, stand up comedy, dance routines and poetry. A story that traverses through and beyond language, time, ancestors, nightmares and monsters, Franco circles three different realms in their quest to find answers to the question that haunts them. What is real?
Chemo Brain
BY KATHLEEN CAHILL
"Chemo Brain" is the working title of a project which is meant to be a truthful, irreverent, dramatic portrait of being a cancer patient. Kathleen became curious about creating this new work in the throes of a second bout with the disease, when she began to look for writing about cancer which would help her understand (and accept) what life as a cancer patient is really like.
Ritual
BY ABERDEEN STUART
Ritual explores high demand cult like groups and what it’s like to grow up in one. Reflecting on a childhood spent in Masonic lodges and performing ritual works, now Aberdeen bursts forth to reveal the secrets of a secret society. Where is the present truth in the hidden world of the past? Here is their truth, as they felt it.
First Times
BY LAURA CANNON
Of course, we all know there is a first time for everything, but have you ever considered that anything can be a first time for something? In First Times Laura Cannon will guide you through the mental gymnastics that she uses to keep dreaming big even when the road ahead doesn’t look all that promising. A parfait of humor, movement and hazy Slacker-era memories, First Times will ask the heavy questions and answer none of them. At least it will be fun. Hey, if the existential dread doesn’t get us, the high-fructose corn syrup certainly will.

BIG BABY
BY EMILY NEWTON
Do you have what it takes to take care of a baby?
Emily June Newton takes on her most ambitious role yet: a baby. Arriving on stage in a wicker basket, bibbed and toothy and dressed for the occasion, Big Baby must figure out how to communicate with the world entirely without words. Expect audience inclusion, physical comedy, and an invitation — gently, playfully, irresistibly — into the role of caregiver.
But babies don't stay babies. Over the course of the show, Big Baby grows up — stumbling into adulthood and finding that the world has questions it isn't prepared to answer. Who am I? Who will I become? There are grown-up shoes that must eventually be filled.
