Do things really happen for a reason? This raucous comedy breaks every theatre convention in the book in search of an answer. Bertolt Brecht scholar Dick Fig has been fired from his university position and is having an excruciating exit interview with Eunice – a droll administrator. Eunice engages in small talk. Dick expounds on existential theories. Together, they experience divine communiques, lectures on science and religion, shameless advertisements, offensive cheerleadings, and ever-closer attacks by a masked gunman.

Inspired by true events, this taut drama opens 30 years after a brutal on-field hit left a professional football player paralyzed for life. Now, his attacker, “the Assassin,” is battling diabetes and alcoholism, and seeking a televised mea culpa with his victim. But, what begins as a careful cat-and-mouse game between the retired football star and the now-quadriplegic’s lawyer quickly evolves into a volatile evening of stinging accusations and startling confessions.

Inspired by events at Philadelphia’s storied Barnes Foundation, this compelling drama follows a suburban museum’s newly hired Executive Director, whose ideas for making adjustments to the permanent collection set off a firestorm of racially-charged controversies, within and beyond the institution’s hallowed walls. Permanent Collection garnered critical acclaim and the 2004 Barrymore Award for Outstanding New Play, before being produced at dozens of theaters across the country.

This scathing satire follows Bill, a hapless, middle-management yes-man, on business in Cambodia, where he finds himself at a brothel teeming with underage sex workers. Summoning what little moral outrage he has, he attempts to liberate one of the girls – by buying her. Back at the hotel, his loquacious associate will say just about anything to seal a business deal, and an emotionally fragile woman seeks to save her failing marriage by adopting a Cambodian baby. No one is spared in this surprisingly humorous riff on American goodwill abroad.
