IT PAYS TO DREAM by Kat Sotelo
A doo-wop trio battles for stardom with effervescent, ravenous appetite. Immersed in a ritualistic lottery drawing, they vie for the title of Ping Pong Show’s next starlet. In sugary pop choreography, CCTV video feeds, and interactive prizes, they shall captivate the audience with dewey-eyed fervor and an impulse to destroy – conjuring a fever dream of ambition and chaos that tests the limits of glory, exploitation, and spectacle – one hole at a time.
Performers: Jake Dibeler + Gigi del Rosario

Freak of the Week by Cori Diaz
welcome to Freak of the Week, where each week we work to crown the biggest freak. people are always asking is this a talk show? late night comedy? is this the news? is it radio show, a podcast? is this a variety show, a game show, a talent show? is this satire? is this one of those british comedy shows? is this sketch comedy? is this a radio play? is this investigational theater? is this a psychosexual drama, is it porn? is this my fucked up twisted demented nightmare? is this the worst thing i’ve ever experienced? and the answer is, yes.
Directed by Em Hausmann

Nineteen/Ninety/One by Nico Krell
true stories of discarded and derelict new york queers kaleidoscoping in 1991 — pulsing and protean and tender and seething — an artifact, a time capsule: a jolt of lived history in the room with us — the uncanny plague of homodoxy that’s creeping in —
performed by the company (TBA)

Shattered Cowgirl Song by Max Mooney & Connor Nielsen
An accompanied folktale about a cowgirl named Max who falls off her horse, shattering to a million pieces. She travels the desert in an attempt to rebuild herself, dating three cowboys along the way also named Max to figure out how you can put One back together again.
