May 17, 2025
Hit Off-Broadway ensemble The Aristocrats has gathered in the Catskills to workshop a new adaptation of Uncle Vanya (yes, another new adaptation of Uncle Vanya), directed by their charismatic and toxic artistic director, Don Templeton. But just after the troupe is snowed in, a sudden death occurs… and old (and new) grudges are revealed. Now, the ensemble must figure out which of them is a killer before they strike again. From Kate Hamill, comes a farcical new murder mystery and dark comedy that is a celebration and exploration of what’s best (and worst) in both contemporary theatre culture and human nature.

This classic English love story is a surprisingly hilarious, refreshingly modern romcom that celebrates the thrills of finding your perfectly imperfect match.

In the world of basketball, LeBron James is the king. But to die-hard Clevelanders like Shawn and Matt, “King James” is a god, and their fandom forges their unlikely bond. Set in a bar in Cleveland Heights and spanning LeBron’s rookie season to the 2016 NBA Championship, the men navigate their turbulent friendship through their shared love of the game. From the first quarter to the final jump shot, King James comes in clutch as a riveting love letter to our beloved home, “Believeland.” Filled with humor, jab steps, offensive fouls, and great poignancy, this energetic new play by Pulitzer Prize finalist Rajiv Joseph is an intimate exploration of the place that sports occupy in our lives and in our relationships with others.
