Physique by Ian Reid & Sarah Grace Goldman
In a sleek, nearly empty gym at the end of history, the only patrons are the emotionally stilted but yearning Huxley and Odessa. The gym is run by the elderly Bruce, still nostalgic for the bright jazzercise days of his youth. When a talking Snake with a six-pack invades the gym, seducing the characters one-by-one, no one can think of anything to do except wait.
Written by Ian Reid & Sarah Grace Goldman
Directed by Gus Mahoney, Produced by Trove, Starring Arjun Biju, Lulu Fairclough-Stewart, Charles Miller, Connor Bullock

A Jewish Exorcism by Alexandra Neuman
The four-thousand year old Jewish tradition is experiencing a profound spiritual crisis. This performance explores the phenomenon of soul-loss that is enabling many of our loved ones to justify crimes against humanity as they are committed on the world stage. Together we will use the mystical powers of Kabbalah to exorcise the destructive influences of nationalism and power-worship that are infiltrating the Jewish faith.
Creative team: Logan gabrielle Schulman, Raychel Ceciro

i’ll tell you where this is from by Lynn Hodeib
This piece is a multimedia absurdist clown show exploring what it means to remember and be present in the midst of ongoing genocides, enduring constant alienation. It looks at the material and immaterial remnants of the past in an abandoned archive in Beirut.
Actors: Lianne El Souki, Eric Lichtenstein, Sarah Wali

Rainbow Bridge by Leo Grierson
Suzanne, Breilyn, and Barbara may have complicated feelings about being online, but they love love LOVE their dogs. So much so that they meet in a Facebook group where people post AS their dogs— engaging in a digital cosplay where they find solace in a community based on kindness, treats, and belly rubs. When the charming and charismatic Golden Retriever “Charlie” enters the group, each woman forms a distinct and passionate bond with this Good Boy. But when Charlie goes missing before the celebratory “Rainbow Bridge Event,” the women fall down an online rabbit hole where they are forced to confront their real selves as well as their digital avatars to discover the truth of what happened to their pixel-furry friend. Suzanne – Amber Avant, Breilyn – Lee Talbot, Lighting Design – Scott Monnin, Media and Sound Design – Leo Grierson
