WALDEN
by Amy Berryman
October 31 - November 22
Philadelphia Premiere!
After returning from a year-long Moon mission, Cassie, a NASA botanist, finds herself in a remote cabin in the woods, where her estranged twin sister, Stella, a former NASA architect, has found a new life with her Earth Advocate fiancé, Bryan. As the sisters attempt to pick up the pieces of the rivalry that broke them apart, they grapple with perhaps the single biggest question that confronts humanity: is saving Earth still a possibility or should we commit ourselves to colonizing another planet?
PLANTATION BLACK
by Phaedra Michelle Scott
February 6 - March 1
World Premiere!
Two contemporary families: one white, descended from the original owners of the Civil War era plantation, and the other Black, descended from the people who were enslaved on the same plantation. Due to legally and morally questionable events from the Civil War era, the rightful heir to the land is murky, forcing the present-day families to consider a sequence of events in 1864-65 that will help them arrive at an equitable path forward. PLANTATION BLACK’s innovative structure evokes the way history repeats itself, and the (sometimes) random ways we learn about our national and personal history. Before each performance, a cast member spins a wheel bearing the names of all the scenes in the play, and the show begins at a randomly selected point in the story.
SENG’S HAIR SALON

When a mysterious and fatal epidemic starts to haunt their shop, three generations of a Lao family in South Philly clash over what’s best for the well-being of their matriarch. This modern American family includes Lao, Vietnamese and Cambodian characters, who must navigate a dramatically shifting local and national cultural political scene while advocating for greater political representation.
Developed in partnership with Laos in the House, VietLead and the Cambodian Association of Greater Philadelphia.
