Staged in the nearly-round, audience is up close and personal for every moment.

Wave 2 plays reveal slices of life, moments personal, private, and perspective. They engage us in conversations difficult, embarrassing, silly, and hysterical. Highlights include comedies featuring vegetables and flowers and poisonous plants, and dramas exploring mental illness and saying goodbye. Be human and let your emotions be free in this engaging, heartfelt festival performed by community actors of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds.
