WALDEN
By Amy Berryman
Philadelphia Premiere
October 31 – November 23, 2025
A searing, sci-fi-tinged family drama that asks: Should we save this planet or leave it behind? After a year-long mission to the Moon, NASA botanist Cassie retreats to a remote cabin where her estranged twin sister, Stella—now living off the grid with her Earth Advocate fiancée—challenges everything Cassie thought she knew about their future. As their rivalry reignites, so does the question at the heart of humanity: Do we still have a chance on Earth, or is it time to look to the stars?
PLANTATION BLACK
By Phaedra Michelle Scott
World Premiere
February 6 – March 1, 2026
History doesn’t repeat itself—but it rhymes. Two present-day families—one white, descended from enslavers, and one Black, descended from the enslaved—are forced to confront a murky legacy on a Civil War-era plantation. With an inventive structure that begins each performance at a randomly chosen point in the story, PLANTATION BLACK invites audiences into a theatrical excavation of lineage, land, and justice. Who owns the past? Who decides the future?
SENG’S HAIR SALON
By Saymoukda Duangphouxay Vongsay
World Premiere, part of The Philly Cycle
April 17 – May 10, 2026
A South Philly salon becomes the crossroads of community, conflict, and cultural identity.
Three generations of a Southeast Asian American family navigate shifting expectations, diasporic identity, and the legacy of war in this vibrant, emotionally rich world premiere. Developed with local community partners, SENG’S HAIR SALON celebrates the resilience of immigrant families and the urgent need for political representation and cultural preservation.
