The 2026-2027 Season Lineup
RECENT ALIEN ABDUCTIONS (West Coast Premiere)
November 2026
Written by Jorge Ignacio Cortiñas | Directed by Jaime Robledo
Serving as a centerpiece for the 30th-year celebration, this 2017 Humana Festival hit (originally commissioned by Playwrights Horizon) is part family drama and part examination of personal and cultural alienation. The play follows Álvaro, a queer Puerto Rican artist who believes he has unraveled a real-life conspiracy embedded in an early episode of The X-Files. Years later, a close friend arrives at Álvaro's family home hoping to get permission to publish his plays. What she uncovers there means Álvaro might have been right all along.
Director Jaime Robledo shares his personal connection to the work:
"To be honest, what initially drew me to Recent Alien Abductions was the mere mention of The X-Files. As a fan of the show, I was intrigued with how a play could weave a 20-year-old piece of genre television into something new and exciting. I began reading and immediately was sucked into the mind of this troubled artist with a family much like my own from a part of Puerto Rico my family comes from. Once I started connecting the dots between myself and Álvaro, his upbringing and mine, the world he created for himself seemed much less alien to me. And because of that, I knew I had to tell this story, this family's story, Álvaro's story, my story."

MY GIRLFRIEND HAS CANCER AND THIS SHOW IS ABOUT ME (World Premiere)
January 2027
Written and Performed by Elizabeth Hayhurst & Jesse Klein | Directed by Bruno Oliver
Elizabeth has stage 4 cancer and her boyfriend Jesse has a lot of feelings about it. This semi-autobiographical story follows their ongoing saga of maintaining a relationship while dealing with a terminal diagnosis, the absurdity of the American healthcare system, and figuring out how to be another's caretaker when you're barely taking care of yourself. Penned and performed by two experienced comedy writers/performers, this World Premiere confronts cancer and anxiety with unexpected humor and an unusually honest sensibility.
