Mouthfeel
- Written by Emma Howard

In a heightened version of reality, four people lurch towards each other in attempts at connection. Yarl and Slab try to date one another. Urdeen attempts to make small talk in public spaces. Customer service workers pour their hearts out to anyone who will listen. People speak their subtext out loud and compulsively confess their most shameful and vulnerable desires. Throughout the play, they find moments of connection with one another, inadvertently saving each other. A lost bird is found.

When a graduate student reports to her favorite professor that she has just witnessed a kiss between a teacher and a student, the faculty scrambles to control the damage. As the rumor circulates, the favorite professor discovers that she can use this situation to advance her career -- by selling out her student. In the end she must decide if a teacher has a higher responsibility to her students or herself.
Pieta
- Written by Brynn N. Hambley
- Directed by Ciara Berardi
- November 15th, 2026 at 4pm
In a convent hospital in Venice, Italy, the best musicians in the region train under the tutelage of Antonio Vivaldi. Anna Maria, Sophie, Bettina, and Cattina were abandoned at birth, like all the residents, and trained to be world-class musicians. But they keep a secret from their adoring public--they are all disabled. Pieta is a story of identity, queerness, disability, friendship, and the lengths a woman might go to to recover the agency that should've always been hers.
