Clubbed Thumb has announced its lineup for Summerworks 2019, running May 17-June 29 at the Wild Project.

This year's season will include three new plays: Sarah Einspanier's Lunch Bunch, directed by Tara Ahmadinejad (May 17-28); You Never Touched the Dirt by Zhu Yi, directed by Ken Rus Schmoll (June 3-13); and Daniel Glenn's King Philip's Head Is Still on That Pike Just Down the Road, directed by Caitlin Ryan O'Connell (June 19-29).

Clubbed Thumb commissions, develops, and produces funny, strange, and provocative new plays by living American writers. Among its productions are Heidi Schreck's acclaimed What the Constitution Means to Me, which began as a Summerworks show and will move to Broadway beginning March 14.
