Anne is a recent empty-nester finding herself at a precarious point in her life - her entire sense of self-worth is coming undone as she is convinced that her husband is having an affair while away from home on business. Spending hours alone, Anne hopes against hope that her son will come to his senses and split up with his girlfriend and move back home. Florian Zeller mixes styles ranging from realism to surrealism creating a complex landscape of uncertainty.

Zoetic Stage will be presenting Part Two in the 2026/2027 season.
Eric Glass is a political activist, living in the “best” rent-controlled apartment in the Upper West Side of Manhattan. His fiancé is the novelist-turned-playwright, Toby Darling. Two men from two different generations enter their lives that will change their paths forever. Part celebration of survival and triumphs for the gay community and part ominous ghost story of the lives that were lost from the AIDS epidemic. This masterwork is inspired by E.M. Forster’s Howard’s End & Tony Kushner’s Angels in America.

Hugely successful Franklin Shepard looks at the emptiness and shallowness of his life through years of calculated ambition. Moving backwards in time, he revisits how he got to where he's at, his estranged closest friends Charlie and Mary, his first ex-wife and his future ex-wife and how he abandoned himself as an artist.

Moses Schneider is a man who almost has everything - a wife, children, a steady job, and a strong relationship with G*d (Hashem). Until everything changes. Moses is suddenly faced with a life alone, living with anger, loss, and isolation. His journey towards forgiveness is a triumphant human tale. MOSES is a one-man play with one man playing a myriad of roles and live interaction with a Rabbi.
Man: CAST. A Jewish man in his thirties/forties serves as a narrator and doubles as all the roles in this story and should also be comfortable with audience interaction.
