You Gotta Have Faith (or We'll Disown You)
A hilarious, honest and provocative account of what it's like to be an atheist in a very Catholic family. Part coming of age tale, part social commentary, this deeply personal show is a journey through religion, family and faith--with surprising revelations.
Kookspeak
Delightful death fantasies, gravely serious hand-puppet conversations, the Most Annoying Girl in the World voice and performing at the Grammy's with your true love, a FIFA World Cup star/YouTube phenomenon -- it's all fun in this series of monologues from the mouths of people who live inside their heads.
Hurricane Alana
Floods and carbon monoxide and missing kitties, oh my. There's no place like home. With the help of the hugging lady from India, a creepy astrologer, drug dealer Lewie, and a feng shui specialist, Hurricane Alana is a funny and touching story about a girl's search for love, a home and a good mold specialist.
Musical Theater for Asian Males (Only Edition)
From the debate of Miss Saigon to the death of Danny Chen, one Asian man looks at the role of his race in theater, media, and society.

Fore/closure
An original one-woman stage show by Gabby Creery based on her blog and popular column in the Jersey City Independent. Telling the riveting true account of a family's turbulent journey down the rabbit hole of unemployment, poverty and the threat of homelessness, Gabby paints an intimate portrait not just of the devastating effects of the financial crisis on a family and a marriage, but also the ways in which community and joy can be found.
Click, Start, Vroom
This monologue is performed by a 17 year old explaining the first time he has ever experienced the thrill of being behind the wheel and driving for the first time. He also explains the proper way to drive a car and how you should never drive a car. Enjoy the ride!
Letters to My Mother (But Really for my Father)
"Dear Mom" Are these words any easier to write when Mom is gone?
he Shim-Sham Slam: A Dancer's Manifesto
Blending spoken word with dance, The Shim Sham Slam: a Dancer's Manifesto looks at the highs and lows of dedicating your life to a near impossible dream. It's about sacrifice, glory, and the reasons we find for refusing defeat.
