Synopsis: Kimberly Levaco is a sixteen-year-old girl with a rare genetic condition that accelerates her physical aging and predicts an average life-expectancy of sixteen years. After relocating to Bergen County, New Jersey with her erratic and disinterested parents, she wants to spend her (maybe limited) time chasing typical teenage experiences: acceptance from peers, first crushes, passing Biology. Her parents pledge to do better and things are looking up for Kimberly when brash Aunt Debra, a big personality with a criminal past, crashes back into the Levaco Family's life. Debra covertly recruits Kim and her classmates into a scheme to get rich by committing check fraud. In the midst of her family's beleaguered attempt at peace, her budding criminal enterprise, and trying to decide if her Bio project partner likes her, Kim experiences a health scare that forces everyone who cares about her to grapple with the reality of her condition.

Synopsis: Written by Michael O. Smith, this one-man show explores the life and times of Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th President of the United States. Born in New York City in 1858 into one of the city's prominent families, Roosevelt forged a public life as vigorous as it was varied: reformer, soldier, conservationist, governor, president, and, later, Nobel Peace Prize recipient. As president, he positioned the federal government as an arbiter between capital and labor—challenging powerful corporate interests while insisting on a Square Deal for working Americans and the public good. Married twice and the father of six, Roosevelt also regarded family life as central to his happiness, once writing that he had the happiest home life of any man whom I have ever known.

Synopsis - A Dark Romantic Comedy: Lorraine and Stu are Upper West Side empty nesters who have made a comfortable life together built on personal and professional success. But, as their 25th wedding anniversary looms, something isn't sitting right. Maybe it's just a little boredom—but maybe it's a more significant discontentment. Attempting to explore and alleviate this unnamed restlessness, both turn to technology—to A.I. What begins as a darkly funny foray into the awkward particulars of building an online companion quickly becomes a treacherous exploration of the tenuous interplay between technology and humanity.
HOW THE LIGHT GETS IN

Synopsis: In a Japanese garden, four isolated people cross paths at moments when their lives are cracking open. Grace Wheeler is a travel writer who never travels, now facing a frightening breast cancer diagnosis. Haruki Sakamoto is a Japanese architect hired to design a tea house, but he cannot find the shape of it — or the courage to say what he feels. Kat Lane is a homeless seventeen-year-old runaway hiding beneath the garden's weeping willow. Tommy Z is a tattoo artist whose gift for seeing people clearly is complicated by his own grief and addiction. As their stories begin to intertwine, the garden becomes a place of unlikely refuge: a space where illness, fear, love, damage, and tenderness can be spoken aloud. Inspired by the Leonard Cohen lyric, the play is a lyrical, humane story about brokenness, connection, and the possibility that our cracks may become the places where light enters.
Note that this play includes frank descriptions of breast cancer and its treatment, suicide, and addiction.
